Vibrant tulips, roses, carnations, daisies, lilies, gardenias, Calla Lilies and lots of supporting vibrant greenery. What is your favourite flower? Do you prefer to have the bouquet made for you or do you like to put the arrangement together yourself?
I’ve always loved having flowers in my home. There’s just something about watching them bloom, the fragrant smell of the flowers and how much a bouquet of flowers in a vase can brighten up a room.
I have been on the hunt this summer to find and visit floral shops I’ve never been to, to purchase a lovely arrangement and support local businesses.
Here is a list of my top 10 floral shops around Toronto. Most of these shops are walk-ins where you can pick your own bouquet and or they can prepare an arrangement for you.
While it remains summer, get out and explore new neighbourhoods and check out these floral shops!
