Halloween Wedding - Bridal Bouquet

This is the bridal bouquet for the Halloween wedding that we did. This is another arm bouquet though since it is the brides it is both longer and larger. The simplisity of this bouquet gives it a very clasic and elegant look.

Halloween Wedding - Brides Maid Bouquet

This is a brides maid bouquet that was doen for a wedding that we had on Halloween. Unlike most bouqets you seee which are round this is an arm bouquet which means instead of holding it straight infront of you you lay it across your arm. The arm bouquet give a very elegant look and works best with tall women though that doesn't mean that someone shorter couldn't also get a bouquet like this.

Daily Flower Arrangment

This is a beautiful and elegent lush and low arrangment. It is perfect for people who still enjoy a traditional look without it being to old fashioned. This arrangment sells for $65. Because of its smaller size it is a perfect gift to send to hospitals or to the office. It would even be perfect for a coffee table in your home.

Life as a florist.

Now everyone always speculates how fun it must be to be in my line of work.... and don't get me wrong I love what I do very much, however it is not all fun and games as people think.

I've been doing floral for 4 years now and I worked my way from the bottom of the ladder, which is not a fun place to be, though working your way up the ladder does feel good.

When I started all I did was cleaning up (sweeping floors, taking put garbage, washing vases, wiping counters) after messy designers who think because they're designers they don't have to pull there own weight, and my first Valentines Day I ended up working 14 hour days for a week and I was horribly sick from burnout। You could choose not to work it, but usually that results in cut hours or dismissal from the shop as no shop can do without every staff member on February 14th!

Well I'm off to play with flowers now.

Hello, my name is Crystal and I work at Pollination Floral in Vancouver.


I finished my Floral Design certificate in Toronto at the end of April and moved out here to Vancouver, and officially started working here in June.

In the time I have been here I have seen many changes to the store... all for the better, don't worry!

BEFORE



Jennifer and I actually renovated the store ourselves, under the direction of ALEX of FLUR in Edmonton.

May I say it looks amazing?


I truly care about the upkeep and the quality of product we send out... even more then I normally do because I spent so much time helping to transform this store into what Jennifer (the owner, pictured here) had envisioned for the place.



Well, I'm off to play with flowers now.
