A Party at the Castle

February 22, 2010

We were asked to create centrepieces for a birthday party at Casa Loma this past week.

Our customer (we had done her wedding flowers) was celebrating a milestone birthday in this beautiful Toronto landmark.

Shastyna and Susan designed this beautiful, tall arrangement for the party. There are white hydrangeas, purple anenomes and fresh curly willow in a clear glass vase.

The Birthday Girl’s comments? “My sincerest thanks… the flowers were absolutely beautiful – I had so many compliments – it made the room look beautiful! Thank you for a job well done.”

Some of our customers would come in the store agonizing about whether their gifts would meet the bar set by the demanding girlfriend or wife.  Thankfully, [...]
