“Elegant and Simple” are two words we hear often describing the look brides and grooms want to achieve with their wedding flowers. Elegant and simple was achieved beautifully with this wedding! The most important floral element for a wedding is the bride’s bouquet. Our bride chose blush pink peonies with creamy white hydrangea and interesting […]
Air Plants on Wheels
Time to show you our latest window display! Katie started off by picking up some bicycle tires from The Bike Place across the street.

Custom Funeral Arrangements
Flowers are a beautiful way to express sympathy and to honour those we have lost. In a previous post, we mentioned custom funeral bouquets and thought perhaps it is time to add some new photos.

A Very Special Wedding
Making wedding flowers is a highlight of floral design. Working with a bride who loves flowers is a treat, and working with a young lady who we already know and love is even more special.
