Romantic, bold, moody 🖤

A few dusty pink, Morandi shades added to our rental arrangements completely changes the aesthetic. It adds ⁣a ‍touch of elegance without being too overpowering. I love this entire look!

All of our neutral floral rentals have been upgraded and redesigned for the 2024 season. As with all of our designs, these arrangements are created with lifelike flowers that look and feel real to the touch. No need to worry about wilting, watering, or refrigeration.

Would these arrangements 'pop' at your venue?

Bridal Bouquet, April 2023

How cute is this flower girl arrangement? I had a unique plan in mind, and I love how it turned out!

What's the best part about bringing a new concept to fruition? When it works out 😂 Honestly though, after many years, I've learned to trust myself and my vision - it always seems to come together better than I imagined.

I'll be sharing more pictures soon! 💐

It is with extreme gratitude that I have to announce that I am fully booked for May, June, and July (2023).

I've sent out a follow-up email to those with unconfirmed quotes in my system for weddings in May-July. I call these ghost quotes 👻 (iykyk). I totally understand things get busy. So, if you've received a quote but you haven't had a chance to reply, please contact me by March 30. I won’t leave anyone behind.💜

I'm incredibly grateful to receive your support! As always, thank you for your trust. It's going to be an extraordinary year!

I'm receiving lots of requests for blue accents this season! 💙

This realistic blue hydrangea is one of the new products that I'm so thrilled about!

It's so lifelike and soft to the touch - and it doesn't have threads on the edges like the traditional silk flowers often have. These are not silk, they are the new technology of lifelike stems, and the only flowers we work with!

PS - I've got some light blue hydrangea on order because I love these so much!

I love how this bouquet turned out!

Neutral bouquets are gorgeous and classic, but I love the diversity of the colour palettes I'm seeing for 2023! I'm so happy to be connecting with clients to plan some exciting projects. Please reach out if you'd like to discuss your wedding florals in detail! 💐

Did you know that the passion for floral design runs in our family?

On September 11, 1999 my dear cousin tied-the-knot and her wedding flowers were designed by my mom, former owner of 'The Pink Petal'. She carried a beautiful white, floor-length cascading bouquet adorned with trailing pearls.

Earlier this year we discussed repurposing her bouquet, as it was too large to have on display year-round.

It was a sentimental project that I put a lot of thought into. I created a dozen of these cute ornaments and she was able to gift them to her wedding party for Christmas!

If you have a floral arrangement that you'd like to repurpose, please reach out. I'd love to create new designs with your cherished florals. 💞

Thanks for popping by, I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas!
