Naomi & Damon

Simple and stunning, this wedding uses super rich Vanda Orchids with soft Hydrangea, Vibernum and a touch of Hyacinth for it's fresh spring smell. Naomi and Damon got married at Spencers At The Waterfront in Burlington and the amazing photographer Mike Vinson from VP Studios Photography did a stunning job at capturing this beautiful wedding.

Johanna & Shawn

We have done a lovely wedding for the lovely couple Johanna and Shawn. Sticking with the bold and beautiful colour palette of navy blue, orange and chartreuse the wedding gave off a rich and fresh tone. The photographer TrayC did an absolutely amazing job at capturing the day and we strongly recommend her for any of your photography needs

The Wildflower Look

Summer has finally hit us! It is absolutely beautiful out and everyone is gardening and taking in the fresh air. It is always lovely to bring the garden look into your home. Even though wildflowers aren't always in season it is still always possible to give the same wild flower look with flowers like Thistle and Stock. 

Little Gardens

It is always a lovely alternative to cut flowers to do potted plant arrangement. No matter what the occasion is they are always lush, showy and beautiful. In some cases they are even used for sympathy arrangements so that the family can even take them apart and use the plants in their garden as a memory.  

Nonetheless, they can typically be enjoyed indoors for about a month but would be much happier outside on a patio. They can be made up for sun or shade and in any colour. Keep an eye out for our planting table on Roncesvalles and come say hi!

3rd Story Cakes

We have a dear friend in the neighbourhood who has been keeping really busy with her beautiful baby girl and her lovely business "3rd Story Cakes". She uses organic ingredients and always makes sure that everything on her cakes are edible. As wedding season approches be sure you give her a shout if you are in need of a cake for the big day. Take a look at her Facebook Page or feel free to email her at 3rdstorycakes@gmail.com.

 

Lovely Mummy Weekend

This was a weekend for the books. Mother's day was one of our busiest weekends yet and we are so thankful for all of your love and support. The flower of the weekend was definitely Peonies. There were about 300 Peonies brought in and they are more or less all gone. Don't worry though it is only the start of their season and shortly they will be a regular flower in the store for the season. Holidays just aren't holidays anymore without being in a flower shop they are a lot of fun and a lot of work but it is so nice to see so many fresh new faces along with our favorite regulars. Thanks again for your support guys we couldn't do it without you.

Easter came! It was lovely!

This past weekend was a gorgeous sunny easter weekend and it was so nice to see so many faces and make so many bouquets. Hydrangeas were also a big hit among hostess gifts and our whole store front was filled and emptied all within two days. Not to worry we are going shopping on Tuesday and will have plenty of more potted plants and Hydrangea. Another thing which is very exciting is that our garden center will be opening quite soon (first week of may) and we will have our backyard filled with hearty perennials and annuals for sun and shade.
Nonetheless, here are some of the arrangements we have been making for easter and spring; Nested Posies.

Sweetpea's has Sweetpeas!

We brought in some very whimsical and very fragrant Sweetpeas this week for a custom order and thought that we would share them with you! Keep in mind that if you ever have a special flower in mind for that special someone we can always do our best to do a custom order to get them in for you as long as they are available at market.

Our First Wedding For The Season

It's Here, it's here! Wedding season is among us and we are thrilled to have some lovely brides come our way. This wedding here was nice and quaint but extremely elegant and exceptional.  

 

The tables were long with the Julep Cup arrangements placed evenly down the center.

 The Groomsmen Boutonnieres were made with Freesia, varigated Lily Grass and bound with silver wire.

 The bridesmaids bouquets were a combination of white Hydrangea, Lisianthus and Freesia.

 The bridal bouquet was done with stunning purple Vanda Orchids and a little bling just for fun.

And finally to match the bride's bouquet the groom's Boutonniere was made of luscious purple Vanda Orchids and nestled in a boutonniere holder which the groom will be able to keep as a keepsake.

Hello Spring!

Happy happy Spring! You are here finally and we have missed you. As we gear up for Garden season we have filled the sidewalk with lovely blooms of all shapes and sizes and the store is filled with spring bouquets. We are also anxious for Easter which is always fun and cheery when your in a flower shop.

Air Plants

We just recently brought in some Air Plants and let me say that they are absolutely fascinating. The are native to South America and usually grow up in the canopies where they derive their moisture and nutrients from the air and rain and sometimes from debris accumulating around it. They're a natural grey-ish color.  They do not need super bright light but will thrive in moderate light. Although they are "air" plants they still need water. Simply mist them right into the top of the plant every couple of days and they will be extremely happy. Be careful not to over water them (it will cause them to rot)  They take a day to dry out so it is hard to over water them. If forgotten, they will begin to go dormant & if left too long, they will dry out.

"♥ Your Garden! (hate the maintenance?)"

The sun is shiny, the birds are singing, the snow is melting - and all that garbage from the winter is littering the garden. Nuts. Not to worry . . . We are starting to book for Spring garden clean-ups - if you are interested in having us come by, call the shop and we can pop over the next... week or two. We'll cut down what needs to be cut down. Rake, tidy, mulch, whatever you might need. Very affordable rates, no power tools, just good, ol' fashion hard work.
