I met the lovely Doris Wai through an editorial shoot years ago. Doris is an amazing letterer (is that a thing? Letterist?) She hand letters just about anything you can think of, and does a lot of custom lettering for events such as weddings. She is also an author, with a wonderful book out called "Extraordinary Hand Lettering- creative lettering ideas for celebrations, events, decor & more". When Doris asked if I would be involved with the book, it was an obvious YES! After some back and forth to explore the concept she wanted brought to life, we met at the Toronto Albany Club one morning, along with her photographer Janet Kwan. They were hauling a large 8 foot piece...
My happy little flower studio is conveniently located smack dab in the middle of Toronto! I'm in midtown, at Yonge and Eglinton, and while I definitely deliver all across the entire city via my delivery partners, my local delivery area includes Forest Hill, Moore Park, Davisville Village, Leaside, Rosedale and more. Your orders get made up fresh and beautiful for the day you want them sent and we package them beautifully in tissue paper with ribbons before taking them safely to their destination. Deliveries in our local neighbourhood can still go out same day if ordered up until 1pm (an easy way to know if it's local is via the postal code- if it starts with M4T, M4W, M4S, M4X,...

This period of time, when the flowers are out with our delivery partners, is critical for the longevity of the blooms. If the stems are out of water for even a short length of time they will dry out and that can reduce the vase life by several days, so I don't ship my flowers "dry"....
Yes, you can include a personal message with your flower order! If you are sending one of our lovely luxury flower designs to someone here in Toronto, and want to add in a special enclosure card, you can include the text when you are placing your order online, and we'll include it when we send out your flower delivery. Simply choose the piece you'd like to send, and click "ADD TO CART" to start the checkout process. Then you'll see a grey box that you can add your personal message into, and we will hand write it on one of our cute enclosure cards and include it in your gift wrapped order! And, if you accidentally speed past this...
