The Stand Up Florist

01/01/2024

XQZT Floral Design would like to thank all of our customers, businesses and vendors for the many years of support and allowing our shop to be part of your life moments.

We wish everyone the best in 2024.

It is with heartfelt sadness, that I wish to announce that XQZT Floral will be closing its store front permanently. As of January 31, 2024. Between now and Jan 31, we will have very limited hours, which will be posted.

We will be putting most remaining stock 75% off, and selling all display cases.

Since having to shut down for COVID, the make-up of the shop has changed drastically. My parents graciously have run the helm, as I was called to help with the Pandemic in public health. However, there have been a lot of challenges, including health issues that have led us to the decision to close.

We have had an amazing 16 years being part of the community and getting to know each and every one of you, but we can no longer sustain having a store front.

Mom and Dad are going back to retirement and as for me, since 2014, as many of you know, I have been slowly increasing my educational credentials. As a result, I have received two diplomas and am completing my Honours Bachelor of Commerce. The pandemic, provided the opportunity to work in Public Health and with the Municipal Government and I have made the choice to stay on.

Flowers will always be my passion and will always be a part of my life, but with increased costs, labour shortage and the family situation, including many health issues, having a store front is no longer viable.

We have enjoyed so many of your life moments and have been with you through so many events over our 16 years and we cherish each one of those times. Those memories will stick with us forever and will be remembered fondly and with love. Thank you again for your kindness, support and loyalty.

Creating a St.Patrick's inspired design for Friday's special My husband's side of the family is Irish and we usually celebrate in style with fun family activities in Kingston for March break where my husband family lives.

This year with everything that has been going on we will not be able to travel there. So I thought why not make some great fun for the store instead. So I will be making some of my famous fun green treats for the store that you can nibble on as well as a Friday and Saturday St.Patrick's inspired floral special. I will be posting pictures shortly of the eats and floral treats you can pick-up.

This ceremony was photographed in one of our favourite locations - Cranberry Creek Gardens. There were so many things we loved about this wedding - Cara and Drew's smiles, the light that day, the back of Cara's dress, the guys colourful socks, the bouquets and the "Just Married" sign the couple made for behind their head table. A great day with a great couple!
