Mother's Day Meanings

If you follow along on our Facebook page you may be familiar with a little post we do each week called Monday Meanings. Each Monday we share with you a picture of one of our arrangements along with the meaning behind a featured bloom. It's only a small post but it is undoubtedly one of our favorites. Together we have learnt the meaning of so many flowers and discovered a sweet new little language , The Language of Flowers. (There are many books by this name that would make a beautiful Mother's Day gift. We recommend the novel by Vanessa Diffenbaugh.)

Considering Mother's Day is on Sunday, we thought we'd bring you an extended Monday Meanings today based on a garden-inspired arrangement we created with Spread Love Events for a recent shoot.

Now to deconstruct.....

The meanings behind some of the featured blooms: Tulip - declaration of love, Stock - you will always be beautiful to me, Matricaria/Chamomile - energy in adversity, Ranunculus - you are radiant with charms, Eucalyptus - protection, Pale pink rose - Grace.

Huge thank you to Gucio Photography for the images and Spread Love Events for the styling. You can see more images from this shoot on Spread Love's blog and see how, with some thoughtful details, you too can prepare a special Mother's Day Brunch for the special person in your life.

Pretty-in-pink tea party

We couldn't resist bringing you these beautiful images from a delightful little birthday tea party we provided florals for recently. The color scheme of pastels, pinks, cream white and orange was oh-so-feminine and paired perfectly with the mercury glass vases and votives used throughout.

We thought the birdcage finished with blooms was a cute touch too.

What girl wouldn't love a pretty-in-pink party (or bridal shower)! Enjoy!

You can find more tea-party-inspired florals from this event on our Pinterest page.

Florals and food galore!

We have an exciting new partnership to share with you all today, along with some fabulous photos from our first collaboration. We are delighted to announce we have partnered with the incredibly-talented team at Railtown Catering to fulfill all of the floral needs for Railtown and their clients.

Our first collaboration was at Railtown's spectacular launch party last week at Vancouver Urban Winery and we could not have been more thrilled with how things went. (And the food... On the food!)

We were asked to create a "fresh and Spring-like atmosphere" through our florals and were given the creative freedom to execute the vision how we saw fit. Talk about a dream job!

Drawing on citrus tones and seasonal blooms combined with organic elements such as wood and birch, we created Spring garden party-inspired florals which were the perfect complement to a beautiful venue and magical food. (See... we're still talking about the food!)

But enough of the chatter - it's time for some photos.

You can see more images from the launch party on our Facebook page.

The flowers have arrived!

Love is a big deal

One of our favorite days each month here at Celsia Florist is when we get to share our new window display with you! Well today is that day!

In celebration of all things love this Valentine's Day we have called upon the delightful styling and imagination of the ladies at the aptly-named Spread Love Events.

With attention to detail that never ceases to take our breath away, this month's creation is a colourful and fun display that exudes playful joy.

The florals featured in our main window are the boho-chic vision of the fabulously talented Le Soirees. We were fortunate enough to be involved in a photo shoot with Le Soirees this week and couldn't bear to see such beauty go to waste. Just wait until you see these arrangements combined with the styling delights of Le Soirees and the photography brilliance of Vasia Photography! Watch this space to see details from the shoot in coming weeks!

"Our fancy fringe garlands adorn reclaimed wood swings to display Celsia Florist's artistic and colourful arrangements that are anything but ordinary this Valentine's Day and beyond," Spread Love Event's principal planner Ashley Bond said.

"With classic black and white stripes, dots, and fringe - it's a party in the window reminding passers-by that love is a big deal and worth celebrating."

We couldn't have said it any better! Thanks for helping us spread the love, Ashley!

Happy Valentine's Day friends and if you are passing by, come and share in the joy at our Kitsilano store.
