Elevate Fall - The Autumnal Colour Palette

Why do so many Fall themed floral arrangements look like they stepped out of retro McDonald’s branding?  Say goodbye to harsh red, bright orange and aggressive yellow tones. ❌🔴🟠🟡❌

The Elegant Alternative. Our Fall Collection is meant to bring an elevated, more sophisticated look for your Thanksgiving Festivities.   Taking an earthy, but softer look, we focus on deep plums, rich burgundy, soft peach and pops of light pink.   Our florists work to mimick the natural tones of the changing seasons, with this alternative colour palette. 🍂🍁🍃

“How much can you really fit in a teacup, though?”

A lot. Life is about balance and so are our teacup arrangements. 😉

Social media is a weird beast. We know we don’t have the capacity to break through the algorithm. We aren’t making fun reels, with dancing florists or informative, entertaining skits. It’s not what we do. I certainly enjoy when others have the capacity to do this, but it’s not for us.

I admit, we have pretty much given up on social media. As a business owner with everything that involves running this place, that’s where our focus has to be. Many would argue that social media has become part of running a business, but … is it really?

We make beautiful arrangements. Our customers are happy. THAT is the focus. And those wins are the ones we take home at the end of the day.

I don’t know what the solution is, but for our team, we will keep posting the occasional photo as examples of our work and hope they stand on their own merit.

*jazzy hands to finish the post, in style*. 👋🏻👋🏻

When your favourite client asks for body parts in their arrangement, you include body parts.

*Order Notes*
“… if you’re struck by some brilliant inspiration involving human body parts, florist’s discretion (maybe something creepy and Lynchian and viscerally off-putting; not only does the 13th thing carry connotations of evil luck, but we just binged all of Twin Peaks because they hadn’t seen it before and the weird Eraserheady vibe lingers still).”

This year, after nearly fifteen years of owning a floral studio, I decided to start bringing home a small number of flowers to have in my house each week. It is usually whatever is left at the end of the week. Tulips, peonies, dahlias, old roses, whatever is past sellable.

How crazy is it, to own a shop like this for all this time and never displayed fresh flowers in my own living space? The Shoe Cobbler’s Shoes and all that.

The simple act of having a few stems of fresh flowers on the kitchen counter and next to my bed have made home life so enjoyable.

This small cluster of garden roses, I couldn’t resist at our suppliers started it all. It’s been six months and I’m so happy I bought this magic into my life.

In November of 2021, doctors told my dad it was likely he would never walk again. A year later, as he left the hospital and went to rehab, those doctors said the same thing. They told him they wanted him to have ‘realistic expectations’. He replied “if you’re not going to help me, find me someone who will.”

Yesterday, my dad walked my youngest sister down the aisle. 💕
