Why not order Wedding Flowers with Fresh & Permanent Botanicals? The Camellia, Thunder Bay

2022 is predicted to be a very busy year for Weddings, which is understandable given the number of people that have postponed their weddings due to the pandemic. Enter the Micro-Wedding. This is the current trend of smaller guest lists and unconventional venues. 

The Fresh flower industry continues to be hit with flower shortages, delivery issues, and numerous other problems. Gone are the days when a Bride can demand a certain colour of Rose, in fact, Florists are closing their doors at an alarming rate across the United States and Canada. Even Oasis, the foam used in fresh flower arrangements, has been scarce this past year. 

Time to think about wedding bouquets made with fresh greens, faux botanical flowers, and dried flowers. Click on this link to read more:https://www.floristssupply.com/how-to-design-a-bouquet-using-fresh-and-permanent-botanicals/

What flowers are you planning to use in your Wedding bouquets? It is nice to dream and look at Pinterest Wedding boards for inspiration, however, most of the ideas shown require a big budget. There are many costs involved, and it is impossible for Florists to supply extra services without charging you additional fees. Expect that Quotes for Wedding flowers will change, due to Supply chain issues. ( At the moment, Canada just required all Truckers entering Canada to be double vaccinated. There are many shipments stuck on trucks which cannot enter Canada, causing huge delays).

Silk/Faux Botanical flowers are a perfect choice when you are looking for a specific colour, which may be difficult to obtain this colour in a fresh flower. Most flowers are flown in as cargo on passenger jets, and flights lately have been reduced, or cancelled, or late. Choosing faux botanicals means less stress for you. 


During the summer, we grow as many Flowers as we can, however, our growing season is quite short, and our weather is unpredictable. Here are some Sweet peas which we grew in our garden. They had to be started indoors in March!
