  • Just married! Congrats to these two who were married yesterday @silvertipresort ❤️ Designing the florals for their arch was the perfect way to kick off our first wedding of 2020 and the temperature was above 0 degrees Celsius {it was 1 degree} so no flowers froze! 🙌🏻 📷 @kimpayantphotography Hair + Makeup @theprettyhaus

  • This is my forever Valentine, also known as @castanofilms and he’s simply my favourite person! 📷 @kristynharderphotography We are currently learning how to become marriage mentors because let’s face it, we all need to show love and be loved more than one day a year. Our first few years of marriage were rough years and without being mentored ourselves I’m not sure where we’d be at in all honesty. Being in the wedding industry we are obviously passionate about weddings but we’re even more passionate about seeing marriages thrive and succeed! With this program by @familylifecanada we get to choose a project each month to show our spouse how much we love them. Today is the start of the first month long project and I may have to do two because I can’t decide. These are the options and they’re all incredible! ❤️Give your partner at least one new compliment everyday for 30 days ❤️Keep a marriage journal. Jot down 2-3 things every day that you are thankful for and share them after 30 days ❤️Write “I love you because”...on a chalkboard or mirror and add a new word or phrase everyday Happy Love Day Everyone!

  • I was asked by a friend recently if I had always known I wanted to be a wedding florist and if my business is what I had always envisioned it to be? The short answer is yes and no. I knew within a couple weeks of working at a flowershop during my last year of high school that I was meant to be a florist and more specifically a wedding florist. I knew I wanted to be a studio florist rather than have a physical flowershop even when that was not a thing...yet. No one had only a floral studio back in 2001 and I was told many times that I’d never be able to make a living or a career from doing what I loved, focusing on wedding and event florals. Fast forward 19 years, and I’m a full time wedding florist, I have been since 2014. Now it’s actually a thing to be a studio florist! Hooray!!! 🙌🏻 I started our business in 2011 in La Paz, Bolivia with my husband and moved it to Calgary in the summer of 2012. I had a business degree, a floristry certificate and two business plans written prior to the start of 2011. No where in either plan did I intend to start my floral studio in South America operating in my second language, in a culture so different to Canada. To be honest living in Bolivia was not in my plans either. The business looked much different in those plans. Life has a funny way of working out though. I’m still as passionate about being a wedding florist as I was 19 years ago as my high school self, maybe even more so! I often lay awake at night because I’m too excited about a design or wedding that I can’t sleep! My team and I are part of so many incredible weddings and doing designs and installations that I never even dreamed was possible back then. Flowers by Janie is so much more than I ever envisioned it would or could be so THANK YOU to all my past and present clients, family, friends and supporters who’ve been along for the ride! It’s was actually so great to reflect on my friend’s question this weekend and realize how truly blessed I am to have found my calling and passion so young in life! 📷 @20.20.photography Planning @momentsbymadeleineyyc
