How would you describe your work/style?

I always incorporate balance, contrast, texture and proportion when I’m creating my pieces. Capturing a
wandering eye is my goal for a finished product! I would describe my florals as modern with a touch of traditional elements.

How long have you been in business?

I’ve been in business for 2 years.

What is your favourite flower?

How can I only choose one? I’d say both the Gardenia and Butterfly Ranunculus!

.

Do you require a minimum spend?

I do not have a minimum spend for my event services. I will always try my best to meet the client’s budget, wants and needs!

.

What is a typical or average spend that couples should expect for their wedding day?

It will really depend on what variety of florals they like, the quantity and size! I have a full consultation with the couple to choose and pick out varieties of florals to meet their budget.

.

Do you offer packages? If so, can you elaborate or describe your current packages?

I do not offer any packages since I want all brides to have their florals to be personalized to them!

.

.

What are the most common orders for weddings (bouquets, boutonnieres, arches, etc.)?

Bridal bouquets, bridesmaid bouquets, boutonnières, table arrangements and arches are most common for my business! Other pieces I get inquiries for are; corsages, pew arrangements, pillar arrangements, mantle arrangements and garlands!

.

Tell me more about the process of planning with clients for a wedding day.

I get started with my clients’ floral wants and needs! I get the potential clients to send in their colour palette, inspiration photos and quantity of each piece, their budget and if they have a Pinterest board, I’d love to see that as well. The more inspiration the better! From all the information I gather, I’ll bring together a floral concept for each piece with a detailed description of what floral ingredients I’d like to use to meet both the colour palette and budget. I received fresh flowers a few days before the wedding to ensure their freshness and quality. Bouquets are delivered on the morning of the wedding and go straight to the venue to set up for the ceremony and reception! It’s a full day of hard work but the satisfaction is no other. From planning, creating and finishing, it’s a whole other feeling.

.

What do you love most about your job?

There’s never a dull moment! Throughout the year, I get to play with different florals that are in season and designs depending on the holiday. Rose bouquets/arrangements during Valentine’s, Peonies and Dahlias during the Summer, bright and light colours for Mother’s Day and Wreaths and Garlands for Christmas. There’s always something going on and I absolutely love it!

.

What would you like clients to know about florals for their wedding day?

To enjoy them! Florals can really tie in a venue together.

Anything else you would like to add?

I grew up with flowers my whole life! My parents own a floral nursery business (Jenny’s Garden) I knew at a young age that florals would always be part of my life! Seeing my parents thrive in the industry has really shaped me into the growing businesswoman I am today and I’m constantly learning every day to become a better version of myself.
