Well, this seems like an appropriate Thanksgiving weekend to finally share some news. 😂🍂

This year, I’m feeling particularly thankful for an opportunity I never really expected to have.

A few weeks ago, I entered FTD’s Intern with Ian competition. It sounded like an incredible experience, and I figured, why not?

And then I won.

Which was very exciting.

Until I realized that winning meant I actually had to get on an airplane, leave my comfort zone, and go be an intern. 🤣

For those who don’t know, my sister Shannin and I started Floratechnics back in 2011. Fifteen years, a few flower shops, and approximately a million lessons later, here we are.

And somehow, after all that time, I’ve been given the opportunity to become the student again.

From October 14–18, I’ll be heading to Florida to spend time learning alongside internationally renowned floral designer Ian Prosser AIFD, getting a behind-the-scenes look at luxury weddings, large-scale installations, and a whole different side of the floral industry.

I’m genuinely grateful. I’m excited. I’m nervous.

And I’m fairly certain I’ve spent more time stressing about this trip than I spent actually entering the competition. 😂

But this Thanksgiving, I’m especially thankful for the people, experiences, and unexpected opportunities that remind me there’s still so much left to learn.

Here’s to 15 years of flowers, the people who’ve been part of the journey, and whatever comes next. 🥂

Happy Thanksgiving! 🍂

P.S. I finally have a passport, so apparently this is really happening. ✈️🤣

🚨 Weekend Flower Deal! 🚨

We made a small batch of these cheerful gerbera vases and, for this weekend only, they’re on sale for $29.95 (regular $45).

🌼 BUT… here’s the fun part.

Mention this Instagram post in-store and we’ll sell you one for just $10! 😳

Why? Because flowers should make people smile, and we’d rather see them on your table than sitting in our cooler.

✨ Only 10 available
🏃 First come, first served.
📍 No holds. No rain checks.

Tag someone who could use a little colour this weekend. 💐

🌼 COME GET A DAISY BOWL. THEY’RE $39.95.

Bright. Happy. Long-lasting. Ready to grab when you need a last-minute gift, something for the table, or just some damn flowers for yourself.

$39.95. Come get one.

And yes, this reel is heavily inspired by the absolute icon that is Elle from Elle’s in Regina. We love her, we love her reels, and apparently we’re entering our COME BUY THE THING era. 😂🩷

P.S. It’s secure. And there’s water in it.
Hope this helps. 😂

Yes. We use leatherfern. A lot. 🌿😂

There. We said it.

And before anyone stages an intervention in the comments, there’s actually more to that choice than you might think.

We believe flowers — and greenery — mean something.

In the traditional language of flowers, ferns have long carried symbolism connected to sincerity, fascination, magic and secret bonds.

And if you know anything about us, you know that matters here.

Our philosophy is The Language of Flowers. Reimagined™ — the idea that the things we put into an arrangement shouldn’t be chosen only because they’re trendy or photograph well.

Sometimes, they’re there because of what they say.

So yes:

We use leatherfern.

We also use it because it’s affordable. It’s reliable. It’s long-lasting. It gives beautiful coverage and structure without unnecessarily driving up the cost of an arrangement.

Could we replace it with Italian ruscus, eucalyptus, salal, pittosporum or premium greenery in every design?

Absolutely.

Would that increase the cost of the arrangement for our customer?

Also absolutely.

Sometimes we would rather put those extra dollars into the flowers themselves — while using a greenery that is hardworking, long-lasting, beautiful and has something to say.

And because this is the internet, here is our official disclaimer:

We are not floral influencers. 😂
We are not claiming our way is the way.
We are not saying every florist should use leatherfern.
We are not saying every arrangement needs leatherfern.

We’re simply florists who have been doing this for a long time, and this is our way.

Sometimes we use leatherfern.
Sometimes we use premium greens.
Sometimes we use both.
Sometimes we don’t use greenery at all.

We choose what makes sense for the meaning, the design, the budget and the person receiving it.

Because to us, greenery isn’t just something you stick underneath the flowers.

It’s part of the language. 🌿

So yes…

We use leatherfern. And we’re not sorry. 😂

Now let’s see who comments “STOP WITH THE LEATHERFERN” without reading this far. 👀🍿

Sometimes my sister makes sympathy flowers…

Sometimes she makes a friggin’ turtle. 🐢😂

Plot twist: she actually made this for the funeral of a woman who collected turtles.

I think that’s one of the most beautiful parts of what we do. Sometimes the most meaningful tribute isn’t traditional—it simply reflects the person whose life is being celebrated. 💚
