Announcing the First Flower Therapy Class!
I totally get it. Winter is taking forever. And every winter, I reach a breaking point: I just need colour, lightness, and something to take me out of my every day dull.
So, I invite you to join my in my first Flower Therapy Class!
I want to share with you where this idea came from. Last winter, January and February were particularly stressful for me. There was something going on with my business that was out of my control (in fact, it was in the fairly pathetic control of Canada Post) and while it seemed like it should be a small thing, it was wreaking havoc on my business, and more importantly, my mental health. A very expensive parcel was lost in the mail, and the person to whom I was returning it was threatening to sue me for it. She is a small business owner as well, so I completely understood where her panic was coming from - she really needed that package. But aside from calling Canada Post every single day, sometimes several times a day, there was literally nothing I could do.
I needed a mental health day. In a month that was nothing but dreary outside and the constant stress of this person's threats on my mind, I needed to escape my life for a little while. And for me, that came in the shape of a day playing with flowers. I paid a visit to my wholesaler, where I picked up whatever I wanted. I chose a light, fresh, springy colour palette and flowers that I simply gravitated towards. My time that day was passed with slow movements, acknowledging the entrancing details of each stem, gently placing them into arrangements that I made for no one but myself.
I know that I'm not the only one out there for whom winter is intolerable. I know that I'm not the only one who needs a mental health day now and again. And I know I'm not the only one who craves colour in the midst of these dreary months. So I'm hosting this Flower Therapy Class and welcome anyone who fits into those categories above, or any other category that you fit into. Come and join me, play with flowers, and leave with a lovely arrangement that will inspire you and fill your home with cheer.
Registration is open now - I hope you'll join us! Seating is limited as our space is pretty small so if you're interested, make sure to head over to the registration page HERE as soon as you can!

2018 Wedding Flower Consulations
Hello all brides and grooms to be!
This past weekend, I wrapped up my crazy busy spring/summer/fall wedding stretch. Here in Manitoba, we have such a distinct wedding season thanks to the weather, so I just have to push through it. And now that it's over, I'm looking forward to meeting with more and more 2018 couples and dreaming up amazing ideas for your weddings!

So, if you're looking for...
creative, uniquely inspired wedding flowers
a wedding that looks and feels differently than what your friends have had
a well thought-out colour palette that is a lot more interesting than just what you see on Pinterest
And if you're getting married in Winnipeg and the surrounding areas, or Kenora/Lake of the Woods area...
Then I might just be the right floral designer for your wedding! My 2018 season is booking up, but I still have plenty of spring and fall availability with summer dates booking very quickly. Please don't hesitate to reach out and we'll schedule an appointment to brainstorm some fantastic ideas!

Now Booking 2018 Weddings
Hey all!
I just wanted to pop in quickly and let any of you getting married in 2018 know that I'm now booking weddings for the 2018 season! If you're looking for a floral designer for your wedding in Winnipeg or the surrounding area, here's what I do:
-Weddings in Winnipeg and area, including Steinbach, Stonewall, East St Paul, Oakbank, Selkirk, along with Kenora (and area), Clearlake, and Gimli!
I work with couples who value creativity, uniqueness, and really want their wedding to feel like them. Does that sound like you? I love to create something unique for each of my couples, placing a high priority on creating a design that will be different from what your friends have had at their weddings.
I am a lover of beautiful blooms, garden-inspired designs, and celebrating the natural beauty that's all around us. I believe that flowers are the best way to bring life and beauty to a celebration, and love nothing more than having fresh stems in my hands. Helping you refine your style and design aesthetic is an important part of what I do, allowing me to create unique pieces that will be the perfect compliment to your wedding. While dictated by seasonal availability, I encourage incorporating local and Canadian-grown ingredients as much as possible.
Want to book an appointment? I'd love to take some time to walk through everywhere you need flowers, hear about your vision for the wedding, and put together some gorgeous ideas for you. 2018 wedding dates are booking quickly, so please click the box below to check your date!
