Après la pluie, il fait soleil

To Ellen

For over a decade we have received our flowers on a Thursday. And for over a decade, Ellen and Bob and the team at the Boston flower market have been a guiding force in sourcing our flowers from the far reaches of the earth. Ellen handles my questions with grace and humour but above all, with patience. I know that a huge part of our success is due to her. The snow storms on the east coast have been especially fierce and most people encouraged to stay safely at home. With careful management and the floral teams' dedication to what they do, they have collectively ensured our flowers were sent in perfect condition, a day later. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I can't wait to see what arrives.

CARING FOR YOUR FLOWERS

Cut Flowers
There are several ways to ensure that your flowers last longer. Before arranging your flowers in a vase, trim the stems on a slight angle. Top up the container regularly with fresh water. Keep your flowers away from drafts and direct sunlight -- the cooler the room, the longer your flowers will last. Remove spent flowers as they fade.

Hand Tied Arrangements
Our hand tied flowers are presented cinched at the waist in a cellophane package filled with water. Once the flowers arrive home, they should be transferred to a vase. Fill the vase two-thirds full of cool water. Untie the package over a sink (otherwise the water will spill onto the counter) and transfer the arrangement to your vase. Check the water level regularly as flowers get thirsty, replacing the water completely every few days.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

Our floral designers collaborate with clients to portray their story or message through flowers. For weddings we talk about the things you love. We find inspiration from the most unexpected places within the fabric of your lives and from that, a theme is developed. Each couple's journey is unique and we are passionate about bringing your vision to life with flowers and local foliage with just the right accents while working within your budget. We tell your story through colour, texture and composition. We ask: What do flowers mean to you?

For local companies, we draw from their philosophy, industry and architecture, ensuring that their floral designs -- most often located in the reception and boardroom areas -- reflect their aesthetic.
