Some stellar aisle bouquets this autumn at Piper's Heath Golf Club. Barista rose and Vintage Rosever spray rose were the ultimate muddy pinks for a September wedding. Featuring pampas grass and eucalyptus for an earthy textural vibe.

When the freesia arrive completely closed…. 🥲 But it’s ok. Cause this weather will make them pop open. Here they are on the back deck in the heat but not the sun. They’ve still got to last through all day Saturday. Give it a while. Update soon to come.

Hey! I’m Andie. Your local florist. I provide fresh flowers for weddings and events in the GTA, Hamilton, Niagara and the KW area. I love creating for special occasions that need the va-va-voom that fresh florals bring. Whether it’s little touches here and there OR the wow factor with I can make the floral arrangements you need! I stand by the fact that fresh flowers are a luxury product… but I also know how to stretch your flower budget to get a good bang for your buck! I love to use texture and variety in my floral designs and when you give me some flexibility my creativity really shines. Thanks so much for your support of my small business! Get in touch to see if your event date is available!

This is how I create my satin ribbon wristlet corsages. I design them laid across a cylindrical can so it’s the correct shape for a wrist. If you design it flat, it doesn’t look quite right on the wrist! I can do 4 at a time. I start in the middle of each piece, do one side of all 4 wristlets then carefully turn the entire can around and do the other side. The weight of my scissors keeps the satin from sliding! Just a little behind the scenes of my popular wedding designs! These designs had giant ranunculus as the focal flower accented with waxflower, freesia and ranunculus buds.

Hey! I’m Andie. I’ve been playing with flowers for a long while but I’ve been running my own business since 2010. Within 3 weeks of opening my business, we got the call to adopt our 2 children. It was a crazy year. My partner Ioan and I have had a crazy journey that started in the UK where we met and it’s been filled with love but also loss, health issues and grief. We are celebrating 18 years of marriage in June. We did it, we are doing it.

Running my own business allows me to be the mom and wife I need to be to my 2 neurodivergent kids and neurodivergent partner.

My business is home based and I only take 1 wedding or event per weekend. I’m your gal from day 1 to delivery! I’m not a giant company, Dandie Andie is petite and bespoke!

Take a moment to say hi! 👋🏼
And if you are looking for a 2024 wedding, DM to check if your date is available!

I realized I have a talent for mixing expensive blooms and inexpensive blooms together to make a cost effective design that SHINES! Take a look at this one: including mums, carnations and solidago (“cheap”) with ranunculus, premium roses and scabiosa pods (average+ price) to make a centrepiece worth celebrating! Be flexible with your flowers, pick bold colours and let me make flower magic!!!

NEW PHOTOS from a November wedding is up on the website today. Jewel Tones are a great colour palette and really pop with what's available in the fall. If you aren't into the warmer softer autumn colours - then this bold palette is for you! Featuring floral pocket boutonnieres, a trend I am totally on board for!

A few recommendations and tricks when picking florals on a budget too!

Wedding in November in Canada? Not a Problem! On November 4, 2023 this couple got married. We were on a slimmer budget, but we worked together to maximize every dollar available. We kept consistency across the board with what flowers were used for the wedding. Incredibly super simple for the table c...

Those spring and summer weddings are coming up soon! Get those inquires in. The calendar is filling up! Feel free to DM and ask if I have your date free. I’d love to chat flowers with you. I love colour, I love a gathered garden style… Take a look and see what I do! Photo by

Garden style is kinda my thing! You into it? Check if your 2024 wedding or event day is available with me and let’s start talking flowers!

We opted for side-by-side ceremony arrangements instead of an arbour arrangement as it was a permanent structure. We moved these arrangements into the reception venue to give it a wow factor!

To all the Credit Valley Golf & Country Club clients out there…. I’m offering a discount on delivery and set up to 2024 full service events booked at that venue (where no other venue is used).

McMichael Art Gallery - Outdoor Summer Wedding Blush, White & Shades of Green Even though I had been to McMichael Art Gallery before, I had never actually done a wedding there. So it was a new venue. It was accessible, ample parking, indoor or outdoor ceremony locations and a rustic lodge feel to th...

This unique springtime wild garden bouquet was made with a base of limonium featuring 3 types of sweet peas, veronica and lavender lisianthus. Something a little out of my ordinary but oh so beautiful. The attendants carried all foliage bouquets to make this bridal bouquet pop!
