Wedding flowers with wild-flower vibes, unique just like you and your wedding. At Shifting Blooms, we don’t do ordinary wedding flowers. No stiff bouquets of red roses or stuffy arrangements here!
Think garden fresh, loose, and lush.
All bouquets are hand-tied and picked fresh for your wedding. We also do centrepieces, boutonnieres, arch pieces and flower crowns. We do not do installations at this time but can create larger pieces for you to attach to arches etc. at the venue.
Buckets of flowers are available for cake flowers and DIY brides. Each bucket of blooms contains approximately 25-30 stems, depending on type of flower, and is a mixture of greens, filler, spikes, rounds, and hero flowers in your colours. Peonies, ranunculus, dahlias and sunflowers may be priced per stem.
All wedding services are currently a-la-carte. Please email shiftingroots@gmail.com or DM @shiftingblooms on Instagram to discuss availability and pricing. I have made up a few wedding packages here to give you an idea of what you can get for your budget. All packages are completely customizable.
A 40% deposit is required to book your date, with the balance due the week before the wedding. Flowers can be picked up at the acreage the day before or the morning of the wedding.
While I can not guarantee exact flowers/colours on the day of your wedding, I do my very best to match your vision! Here’s some of what you can expect flower-wise depending on your wedding date.
To see the flower season in action, you can also watch my Youtube Shorts Series, 100 Days, 100 Bouquets.
June Weddings
June has many beautiful flowers in season. Early in the season there are daffodils, tulips, and flowering branches. In the last two weeks peonies, ranunculus, and anemones come into bloom.
I also practice frost-proof flower gardening, so I often have some of my own filler flowers available, in addition to greens. Many perennial flowers are also blooming in late June, such as roses, daisies, and much more.
July Weddings
In early July the peonies continue to bloom, and I can also dry store peonies earlier in the season and wake them up later in the month. The cool flowers like sweet peas, Larkspur, baby’s breath, feverfew, stock and more are in full bloom. The anemones and ranunculus are usually still going in the first week or two.
Delphiniums, yarrow, and Lilies are the main perennials available, and you may see some early zinnias and dahlias in your bouquet. Snapdragons are in their prime season.
Sunflowers are typically an August/September flower, but I can usually have an earlier succession available by mid-July.
August Weddings
I often joke with my August brides that the world is your oyster when you’re an August bride. Zinnias, amaranth, cosmos and sunflowers are all in season, as well as earlier dahlias. Snapdragons are still going strong and pretty much any colour scheme is possible.
September Weddings
September flowers are often overlooked, but are some of my very favourite. Dahlias are in their prime, the cut and come again flowers like cosmos and zinnias are still pumping out blooms, and lisianthus is in full bloom. I typically plan for mostly fall colours–peach, orange, red, burgundy, yellow, and white (of course). If you have a non-fall colour palette in mind, please let me know as soon as possible so I can adjust my crop plan accordingly.
October Weddings
Shifting Blooms is able to offer wedding services only to intimate weddings in the beginning half of October. Even with all of the cool-season flowers I grow, I can not guarantee any flowers past mid-October, even with a greenhouse.
These bouquets are from a wedding I recently did in the first weekend of October, and is half local flowers, half imported flowers.
Off-Season Weddings (late October to May)
Off season weddings are available upon request. My regular pricing is not in effect, and each wedding will require me to make a detailed quote based on your wedding date and the flowers required.
This wedding was on February 28th. All photos below are courtesy of Photography by Taiya
I can also offer holiday weddings in November/December, as I will have evergreens on hand. Here is an example from a wedding in late November.
