In the almost 20 years I’ve been photographing weddings, I’ve worked with many Ottawa wedding florists — and can instantly spot the mark of quality.  Fresh wedding florals can be an investment and you want to be sure you’re choosing wisely.  Your wedding bouquet will likely factor in almost every photo; your floral décor and accents contribute to the overall aesthetic both in person and in your photo keepsakes.

In no particular order, here’s a roundup of some recent Ottawa wedding florists I’ve worked with that you can trust for gorgeous wedding florals (and a BONUS recommendation at the end of this article for FAUX FLORALS – she’s that good!).  There’s an Ottawa wedding florist in here for everyone regardless of your budget or preferred style!

 

1. Riverwood Gardens –  Ottawa Wedding Floral Design with Lots of Texture & Movement

Amber’s wedding bouquets and florals are eye-catching for their use of unified colour, flower varieties, texture and creativity.  She sources florals from her own gardens and incorporates interesting foraged finds into her work.  You will find her florals bold in design, striking and beautiful.

 

 

2. Acanthus Floral & Botanicals – European Wedding Floral Design in Ottawa

Acanthus specializes in custom European floral designs.  They aren’t afraid to use colour in creative ways to make your florals original and beautiful.

4. Sylvia’s 4th Line Florals – An Ottawa Wedding Florist in Perth

Sylvia grows all her flowers in her fields and greenhouses just outside of Perth, Ontario.  There, you will find an array of blooms to suit your theme, colour scheme, taste and budget.  How amazing is it that you’ll be able to walk the fields before your wedding and personally make your selections?!  (Pst – she may be retiring after 30 years of service.  Reach out to her asap if you’re considering her!)

Breanna is your choice if you are looking for quality, consistency and classic designs.  You will appreciate her attention to detail and how she can encorporate textures with popular florals so that your wedding florals are unique but still classy.

9. BONUS! Plenty of Pretty – An Ottawa Faux Floral Wedding Artist!

I know, I know, you’re skeptical of faux florals.  Truth be told, so was I until I saw Sandra’s faux floral artistry.  She’s a florist who literally turns artificial flowers into art.  And then rents them (and repurposes them!) at a fraction of the cost.  If there’s a reason you can’t go the route of fresh florals for your wedding day, you need to explore your options at Plenty of Pretty.
