Galbraith Florist Fresh flowers, artistic designs and professional experience. Your go-to destination for exquisite flowers and thoughtful arrangements.

We specialize in enchanting wedding flowers, event florals, special life celebrations. Galbraith Florist has been offering the Saint John, New Brunswick area superior floral arrangements and assortments since 1961. Because we are a small, local shop, when you choose us, you can always expect to be treated more like a family member and less like "just another customer." Our deep-rooted passion for

flowers, along with our dedication to service, makes us the ideal choice for any occasion! Back in the 1960′s our flower shop was known as “Gordon’s Flowers”. In the 70′s the name was changed to “Galbraith Florist”, and between the 70′s and 1999 it was owned by two other people and moved several times. In September 2018, I (Oksana Posatska) purchased the shop. The shop is still learning and growing everyday, so that our customers can continue to receive the best possible service and pricing! As a reflection of our dedicated excellence, Galbraith Florist has been recognized for multiple awards and honors…

Yesterday’s wedding was ending for us with the warmest hug from our Bride Michelle and her words : “It looks way better than I could’ve ever imagined! I’m so happy I booked you! Thank you!” These words and that hug will stay with me for a very long time. We cannot be any happier to have clients like Michelle.

Congratulations Michelle and Alex!

Kinda chic to do all of these 🤭

Years of experience have taught us one thing: beautiful wedding flowers don’t have to be used only once.

No matter the budget. No matter the style. No matter how big or intimate the celebration is, we talk with our couples about where we can save, where we can repurpose, and where it makes sense to go all in.

Because every wedding is different. Your venue is different. Your priorities are different. And our job is to figure out how to create the biggest floral impact for your specific wedding.

This was one of those weddings.

We designed this lush, floral ceremony arch for a ceremony that lasted no more than 25 minutes. As soon as the ceremony ended, our team carefully dismantled the installation, moved every stem to the reception, and transformed it into a completely different design - a flowing, waterwall-inspired sweetheart table installation.

Every stem was repurposed.

And when we returned at 1 AM for strike, we were honestly so proud to see that our blooms were still looking fresh, full and beautiful.

It wasn’t an easy task.

My flower besties may or may not have looked at me and said, “You’re crazy.” 😂

Yes. I am.

Crazy in love with the process.

Crazy in love with taking all the little pieces and putting the puzzle together.
Crazy in love with figuring out the logistics, the details and the how are we actually going to make this work? moments.

Crazy in love with designing.
Crazy in love with watching a vision come to life.
And maybe a little crazy when it comes to going above and beyond for our couples. 🤍

Because this is what Full Floral Service means to us: working closely with you from the beginning, understanding your priorities, and creating a floral plan that is intentional, not simply filling every table because we can.

And when that extra effort is seen and appreciated?

That makes my florist heart very, very happy.

✨ We are actively booking our 2027 wedding season, and Full Floral Service dates are already filling quickly.

Curious what Full Floral Service includes? Ask us. We’d love to walk you through it.

We’re dying to meet you, hear your ideas, and see all your wonderfully crazy wedding floral dreams. 🌿�

A bit of BTS for you

07/27/2026

The one wedding decision I still think about... 17 years later.

Not because I regret the venue.
Not because I regret the dress.
Not because I regret the catering, the DJ, the live band, or the bar.
I honestly couldn’t tell you what we paid for any of those things.
But I can tell you exactly what I wish we had done.
More flowers.

When I got married 17 years ago, I was already a florist. My mother-in-law was a florist too. We had every connection, every flower, every reason to create a breathtaking ceremony installation.

And somehow... we didn’t.

Looking back through our wedding photos now, my only regret is that we weren’t standing beneath a beautiful floral statement, surrounded by lush June blooms. Flowers have a way of turning a moment into a memory you can feel, even years later.

This modern blue and white ceremony installation from last weekend is exactly why I believe your ceremony deserves just as much attention as your reception. It’s where your story begins. It’s where you exchange your vows. It’s the backdrop that will live in your photographs forever.

I know wedding budgets add up quickly. Every decision feels like another line on a spreadsheet.
But if there’s one piece of advice I can give after designing weddings for years, and after being a bride myself - it’s this:
I’ve never had a couple tell me, “I wish we’d had fewer flowers.”

But I have quietly wished we’d had more.

If you’re on the fence about a ceremony installation, this is your sign. Your future self will thank you every time you open your wedding album. 🤍💙
