Mother's Day Contest Winner

We are so happy to announce the winner of our Mother's Day Contest!

The winner will receive flowers monthly from Botany Floral Studio, the first bouquet being delivered this Mother's Day!

We received countless submissions and every story was unique and special.

Moms mean the world to all of us. From the contest, here were some of our favourite words used to describe Moms ... super hero, grace, extraordinary, super woman, sacrificing, selfless, independent, best friend, compassionate, dignity, humility, loving, mentor, inspiration, cherished, and noble. We couldn't agree with you more!

The Winning Mom: Debbie Kuiken

Debbie's son submitted the winning Mom Story: Last spring, I was hit with a severe bout of meningitis that almost took my life. I was in a coma for 6 weeks. When I woke, I was paralyzed, and had lost almost all my vision. Through out the 8 months I was hospitalized, my mother was by my side every single day. I am in a wheel chair now. My mother grocery shops for me every week, makes me home-made meals, and takes me to all my physiotherapy and medical appointments. I could not have made it through this with out her help.

Feature: Style Me Pretty Canada

We have been featured on Style Me Pretty Canada! It is a honour, because we loved doing these wedding flowers, we loved this couple, and we loved their wedding philosophy! All photographs are by Meghan Andrews Photography.

As written on SMP, here is a little bit of what their special day at 99 Sudbury was about ...


From the Bride… From the tiny tea lights that lit my way down the aisle, to the room full of sparklers that kissed me goodnight, our wedding was every part of my imagination come to life.  Having people travel from different cities, provinces and countries to help me celebrate my love for the most wonderful man I have ever known was an amazing feeling.
Like most brides and grooms, we wanted our wedding style to be much like our own- both classic and romantic, yet also pretty laid back, no fuss, fun, loving, wannabe-hipsters. What kind of wedding would that be you ask?  An evening wedding in the city with long banquet tables and endless hors d’oeuvres.

Below are some shots from the feature, enjoy!
