  Well, we're snowbound today - record snowfall in Calgary. Got in some shipments yesterday, so had fun putting ribbons and wristlets away today. Check out our Collection of New Items to see them all - metal ribbons, glow in the dark ribbons, wood snowflake ribbons (a lot more fun than what's going on outside), wide Christmas ribbons for decorating, and more! Super deal on 100 yard rolls of sheer with satin edges. 

Just received a selection of ceramic containers at Amazing Floral Wholesale. Great for plant pot covers or fresh arrangements, we even have baby booties and smiley face mugs. Some are painted dolomite, while others are glazed. All reasonably priced. Other florist supplies just received include hydro stone, soil, and planting tools. These can be used with the mosses we have in stock to create beautiful, healthy terrariums. We are open weekends. Happy Birthday Dougie!

As unique and natural floral designs top the trends for 2018, forage embodies both. Forage design is also environmentally appealing. Shipping is minimal, and as long as the source is not destroyed, it provides a sustainable, renewable resource. Variety choices change...

Those 'B' Words... Two words bantered about frequently this year in the wedding business are 'Bespoke' and 'Bohemian'. If you're ever wondered the meaning behind these words, we'll take a look at that here.  Firstly, when we speak of a bespoke style, we are referring to a design made to the buyer's specifications - tailored to the customer, unique and personal. No cookie cutter designs here.  Bohemian imbues a relaxed, unstructured, non-traditional, unconventional style. Here, we see flowing flowers, loose styling, and voluptuous flower crowns.  Feathers, wood, lace and ribbon are often included. An eclectic mix of jars and receptacles...
