Plenty of Pretty

One of our recent fall elopements! Thanks to the beautiful bride Emmily for the photos :) and @lowkeyweddings for snapping the gorgeous pics!

Another gorgeous couple making it happen!! Congrats Dwana and your new hubby

What a dark but gorgeous shoot! Thank you KV Photography for capturing the moody side of florals :)

Installed this beauty for a lovely bride this weekend! By far my favourite wall to date! Watch the video on instagram :) https://www.instagram.com/p/CF8KtxOFbm9/?igshid=e27deasnor7g

Let’s talk centrepieces and prices! I’m going to answer a common question typically received :) We do faux florals (artificial). Traditional florists who use all fresh cut blooms are NOT overcharging. Each individual stem they incorporate into your design has a cost, and when you need x amount of stems to complete a piece, it can add up super quick! Then there is the time/design/labour that goes into each arrangement. It is detailed artistry and takes a whole lot of behi...nd the scenes work! At the end of the day the lifespan is short, and they have to start from scratch for each individual wedding. On my end with a faux floral rental, there is still all the labour and designing involved but the huge difference is your custom pieces are rentals and therefore get reused/repurposed. I do not need refrigeration to store the florals, I do not have a team of staff to pay, and believe it or not-an artificial centrepiece is probably MORE expensive than a fresh cut one because some stems initially have a higher price tag But I do not throw them away. That is why I can price the way I do. And happy to because it joys me to provide a beautiful alternative to those who want the wow factor but may not have or want to spend beyond their budget for flowers. Our average centrepieces range from $25-$45. You choose the colour pallet, size, and shape. Our max bookings are usually only one large decor package per weekend and then various à la carte orders/small packages. To check availability of your date, just send a message along with any design inspo you may have been saving :) Thanks and happy planning! See more

With burgundy still being a super strong contender for weddings going into the fall and winter, thought it was the perfect time for a post with all things burg!! Some of our work from the dark and moody ~ all the way to the soft and romantic One style I would LOVE to create before the year end is a burgundy pallet with a strong boho vibe! Any takers?! Slide into my DM’s if this piques your interest, I have an offer for you

I seem to have been neglecting Facebook and posting on Instagram more lately I hope everyone is holding up well and keeping their dreams alive for when everything returns to a somewhat normal state After working on the backend rescheduling etc, I believe I am all caught up for now So putting my energy into creating! If anyone has Instagram, I do tend to post there more even though I was super late to the game joining :) Miss working in the field but my tiny workspace will have to do for now. https://www.instagram.com/p/B-79JNDFn0T/?igshid=jj84q7ptsnjb

Sending lots of love to the spring couples https://www.instagram.com/p/B-KK0VnFBFD/?igshid=2q1nr13lwd62

Anyone else planning a tropical party this winter?!

Some popular dates have opened back up for garland rentals since we have two new designs! We now have the Frosted Mini and Deep Green Mini :) We can accommodate one full order of each style per weekend. New style promo on till December 1st at $25 per 6ft for the Frosted and $20 per 6ft for the deep making it super pocket friendly to create a gorgeous tablescape

Still need to decide where to put everything, but currently decking the halls Can you guess what my favourite winter colour is?

Nov-Feb is a pretty busy time for bookings. We do only have a set amount of orders we can fulfill each weekend. If there’s something you have your eye on, don’t hesitate to reach out to inquire! Hoping to be fully booked by April so we can focus solely on designing come the spring! These dates are pretty much full, with the exception of a few options. Thank you! Ps. if your date becomes booked, keep in mind we do decor for baby showers, birthdays, holiday parties, and everything in between

Traditional bouquet for the bride, with hoops for her squad! Thank you Kaili for the photos

Mill St. Brew Pub Ottawa has such a lovely space! Very thankful the bride took this photo since I couldn’t be there! Floral tiebacks climbing up the gorgeous backdrop, down the aisle and bordering the room. Can’t wait to see the reception :) Thank you Jujubean

Sunday wedding :) Worked with Preciosa Rentals to create this lovely tablescape! While I just did the sweetheart garden, she designed the room which was STUNNING! Great things to come with her newer company, cant wait to create something for her again!! Now time to finally rest hehe will reply to messages Monday :)

While we had many orders this weekend, we could only setup a few ourselves! Luckily this was one of them and were able to capture some photos Kelly from The Planted Arrow Flowers and Gifts added fresh cut florals to all our greenery creations Venue: All Saints Event Space https://www.instagram.com/p/B3QXpsVlxow/

For anyone who has been here before, you know how small this place is but I just HAD to shuffle some furniture around to take snaps of this order before the dismantling process. It‘s sad taking lovely designs apart, but also super fun because I get to make something new! Excited to see the pro shots from the actual venue

It was far too crisp of a morning to NOT go out and play with flowers! Tested the moongate in Burgundy Babe and Coral Sunrise :) haha Yes. I come up with names for my colour combos, it’s half the fun Any requests for the next round?!

2020 seems to be a HOT year! Super excited to be getting lots of fresh new ideas! Space is limited per weekend, so if there’s something you’re itching to have made for your date, please reach out so we can discuss :) I have some time this week and instead of taking a mini vacay, I’ll be prepping for next years weddings

This weeks orders were FILLED with 2 piece arch decor sets :) And I truly love making them! This one is definitely latte inspired! + =

This weekend was THE busiest of the season, but just had to post this moongate design! We only do one per weekend, but it’s completely tailored to your colours and design specs! Loved this brides request!

So cool! A bride ordered our base greenery wall and had her florist pop some roses in! There were about 100 of them. LOVE this!!

Citrus vibes in a rustic barn? Heck yes! Got to see @adelinabarnvenue for the first time and what a BEAUTIFUL spot!! Photo wall custom for a bride looking for a fruity combo

Any ideas? Trying to come up with a name for this colour story! All I can think of is frozen yogurt when I look

One of last weekends ceremony spots Strathmere! The Lodge

Happy Friday everyone! One of our most requested custom designs are flower walls Alternative to most standard rentals available in Ottawa, you choose your size, shape, and colours. We will always be at the best prices as well

Photos from a bride this past weekend! It’s amazing how a small floral rental can make such a lovely impact :) She also said setup was a breeze! Congrats and lovely working with you, thanks for the photos colour story: mauve and ivory

What. A. Weekend. I love my work, but it is definitely backbreaking hehe. Six weddings and six more hours till I can say officially this weekend is complete. Looking forward to tomorrow off and talking with everyone Tuesday

A whole lotta Mauve went out yesterday!! I just realized why I have so many orders for this weekend- it’s a holiday Hope everyone has an amazing time whether getting hitched, watching someone get hitched, or just enjoying the sunshine!

I had ZERO idea that this year would be so busy! And 2020 requests are rolling in hot If I am taking too long to get back to you, I do apologize. In order to provide the best service, I need to focus on designing right now :) I don’t want to just rush through anything with new requests and don't want to pass you off to discuss with just anybody who doesn’t know the ins and outs of the business. I am excited to chat but want to be 100% present when doing so. If your date is available, I definitely would like to work with you! Please prep as much details as you can for me, and let’s set up an appointment. If I have accidentally ghosted you, send me a nudge so we can get back on track Thank you!

Sunday flower wall

Garden wall fit for a milestone birthday!

Took this morning off completely to celebrate my lovely mammas 65th birthday!! She had no idea but was surprised to see friends and family gathered High tea style with lots of food and goodies :) Love you mom

How long does it take to setup a POP garden wall? 15 minutes! AND I was by myself :) Our garden walls are compact (can fit in a car) and no tools, wire, or even zip ties required. DIY brides, you’re welcome Always custom to your choice of colours!

Another recent backdrop design! Ottawa Laser Clinic sure knows how to have a client party in style!
