Getting to Know You!

Good Morning!

I thought I would write alittle bit about, what to Expect when you hire Foxy Florals...
When it comes to weddings I know that all brides, including myself have high expectations and why not since this is one of the biggest days of your life! When hiring a floral Designer, it could be on the top of your list or not so top, in any event when Foxy Florals is hired you know we will always make sure to reach the top of your list. Having a design orientated background for pretty much half my life, it's a part of me. I have been in the flower world for 15 years, taking a small break to enter Interior design school filling my other passion. Marrying the worlds has done wonders, allowing me to create unique Florals/Designs. With an Easy Going, Professional Attitude you can be sure to have a wonderful experience accenting your day with Foxy Florals!  
Meeting Me, Getting to know you, it's all about your vision, flowers, yes' and no's. I like to get to know my couples as much as possible this allows me to design/tailor your florals as acouple/individuals. Not only is chatting a great way to understand you but Inspiring Pictures, Colour Samples, Fabric Swatches, picture of The Dress, are also wonderful tools to bring to our meeting. This way the feeling/mood of your day will also be felt. We than Will go through each area of the wedding and discuss where you would like flowers, whether Purchasing Containers Versus Renting Items. After our initial meeting is over I will take everything we have chatted about and bring it to life on paper through a quote for you both to look over.
Designing with Style! When it comes to the day I always have in the back of my head the Expectations I would have on my big day. So everything Foxy Florals does is with delicate care, thought, and detail orientated. I love being creative and making sure each Bride will have the Unique Personable Style they were hoping for making the florals accent/compliment each area/part of the day! 
I love what I do and I Believe it shows through the Final Product that is Delivered to you on Your Wedding day!  
Looking forward to meetingYou, Chatting & Designing with Style! Call me or e-mail so we can set up our first meeting!

Caitlin & Derrick


On a Very Hot Day in July, Caitlin & Derrick stayed cool and said I Do! Can't say enough about this adorable couple, they are both so sweet and lovely. Caitlin inquired with me after I designed a good friend of hers wedding in 2009, and I am so happy she did.. Loved working with her, Such a beautiful happy easy going Lady. all she wanted was wedding florals to be simple yet elegant, pearls were the jewellry of choice so suited for her Audrey Hepburn kind of personality. Alittle attention to detail incorporated pearls on the stem wrapping, alittle hint in her bouquet, and some string of pearls drapped in the centerpeices, something so simple but becomes so elegant!..   ...photos by the Wonderful Amber Williams of http://www.amberrichmond.com/

Happy Tuesday!



How beautiful is this, alittle note received in a blank card I purchased from PAPYRUS, had to share...
"Legends say that hummingbirds float free of time, carrying our hopes, joy and celebration. Like a Hummingbird, we aspire to hover and savor each moment as it passes, embrace all that life has to offer and to celebrate the joy of everyday. The hummingbird's delicate grace reminds us that life is rich, beauty is everywhere, every personal connection as meaning and that laughter is life's sweetest creation."
http://www.papyrusonline.com/
Hope the next time you see a hummingbird you think of this, I know i will be!
What a great Wedding day Inpsiration for a Theme, They are the meaning of all things to celebrate on your special day!

Colour Blocking... Why Not!

Hello Foxy Bloggettes,


So the question is " Why not Colour Block?" it's everywhere this 2012 Season/Year. I was recently at the mall and thought maybe I was in the 80's with all the fabulous Colours in Fashion, from the Earrings to Shoes! if you haven't been to the Mall lately go grab a Starbucks start to wonder around because I am sure you Definitely will get Inspired for some Fun Colour Blocking Schemes! It's certainly the time to Show Intensity, Power and Expression of ones self. Colour Blocking is everywhere with these Bold Colours and Patterns, Big Stripes, Chevrons, Florals etc. Not only do we see this in fashion but in Home Decor as well, just open one of your favourite Home Style Mags flip through and you will see examples from the Art work, Furniture to Wall Colour. It makes such a statement in any room, again expressing ones personality. So...Why Not Colour Block, Express your Personalities through a fun Creative way on your Special Day!
Colour Blocking with Florals makes such a beautiful impact. This Picture is an example of Hot Pink Roses and a hint of light Pink. To bring this further in your wedding decor why not do some simple vases maybe a cluster of 3 on each table, featuring in 2 all hot pink and 1 vase of light pink, maybe surround with hot pink petals, votive candles and you have yourself a fabulous focal point for your guests.
I hope you are inspired to implement some Fun, Stylish Colour in your day!

It's Been Awhile!

Hello Foxy Bloggers!

It's been such a long time since i have written anything on my blog.... I think it is time to keep up to date and fill everyone in on my life thus far... Well since my last post ...ehhhmmm ... November... well lots has happened! 
A new addition arrived to complete my lovely little family. During and i think the only Blizzard we had my little boy decided he wanted to arrive a few weeks early. Few days away from my 35th birthday i couldn't have asked for a more delightful and precious gift, 7lbs 7 oz of pure perfection all wrapped up in blue! love... here's a beautiful picture From Februaryof my Sweet Boy Bentley at 6 weeks old from the Very Talented Lifestyle & Wedding Photographer Lindsay Palmer of Lindsay Palmer Photography www.lindsaypalmer.ca

Since that Jan 30th 2012 snowy day my life and business has not stopped. Foxy Florals has been nothing but evolving! Preparing arrangements for Bridal Shows, just finishing my fourth wedding for this year, designing for Bridal Showers! With that said not only has it been about design but also looking at where do i want to bring foxy florals in the near future, with much thought, time, and never ending desire I am happy to Aannounce that Foxy Florals will be now offering to all clients, Rental services, linens, centrepieces, candelabras  etc. You simply bring your ideas and we will make sure that your vision is fulfilled and Designed with Style! This decor element  has been on the table for quite some time, Some of you know that I have been in the florist business since i was 16 years old and than deciding to attend Sheridan college for another passion of mine interior design. Living life loving all aspects of design I knew I had to find a way to stay in both worlds, well what better way than marrying them together! I am so excited about this new avenue we are embracing, nothing better than having your floral/Interior designer bring to life the entire table setting, creating beautiful ambiance for guests to enjoy all day/night long. I can not wait to share with you all this wonderful new Branch of Foxy Florals!
