🌸Preferred day off activity: Cooking my favourite meal, deep cleaning my house then relaxing with a large glass of wine.
🌸Best thing about working at Calyx: How exciting and vast the floral & plant world is! I'm excited to see my efforts pay off with nurturing our plants and them going to a good home.
🌸Favourite flower you worked with this year: I'm looking forward to working with Anemones as they are such a classic delicate shape with a beautiful meaning!
🌸Unpopular opinion: A traditional greek salad doesn't have lettuce!!!

Looking ahead to 2025, the trend is all about layered florals in your reception space! 🌿✨ Elevate your wedding décor (literally😉) with arrangements that add depth and dimension to your space.

We absolutely loved bringing this look to the Archway Manor Grand Unveiling and working alongside amazing vendors

There's nothing we love more than getting creative with a Designer's Choice Arrangement! This time, we let fate take the lead and watched our designer Alya work her magic for the cooler 🌸✨

Sometimes the saying "Less is More" really rings true. This wedding was the perfect example of simple elegance. The minimalist Ikebana style centerpieces, paired with greenery draped from the ceiling, created a timeless and classic look. We love how the simplicity of the design allowed each element to shine 🌿

The trend of bridesmaids in a range of colours is simply stunning. We adore how the blend of shades creates a vibrant and elegant bridal party. The best part is this opens up endless possibilities for bouquets! Remember, the key isn’t to match colours exactly- fabrics and nature rarely align perfectly. Instead, choose complementary tones that work together for a timeless and beautiful look.

Do you love this trend as much as we do? Let us know in the comments!

We want to remind you that timeless doesn’t have to mean ordinary! Beautiful florals can stand the test of time while still feeling uniquely yours. This bouquet combines a classic color scheme with a contemporary twist, blending traditional elegance with modern style. It’s proof that timeless designs can be fresh, exciting, and truly personalized to you.

This wedding season has been one for the record books, and we couldn't have done it without the help (and beautiful flowers) from our good friends at Florists Supply Ltd. ! We've had the opportunity this year to connect with so many incredible people from different Florists Supply branches and consider ourselves lucky to be their Featured Florist this year.

A special shoutout goes to our home branch in Calgary! Julie, Kylee, Starla, Nancy, Kelly, Loriann and all the amazing staff there always take the best care of us. When in doubt, we call Julie, and she comes to the rescue with last-minute blooms and a good laugh to brighten our day. ❤

We love our Florists Supply Family so much and appreciate all you do!
