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!

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.
