I am surprised that the overall rating for Elaine and her team Is not a 5.0 on Google review, because it is very, very deserving. Elaine, Nicole and Lauren provided exceptional service for my daughter's recent wedding. From the initial consultation, to the Flower Party (a unique idea), to the follow up meetings, Elaine and her team understood Katie's vision and delivered on it flawlessly, and they made us feel like we were part of the florist family! They even arranged for 6 wooden pedestal stands to be made especially for the wedding to complete the overall design. We cannot thank FTPS enough for their contribution to our daughter and her new husband Matt's special day! It was beautiful. We will never forget your kindness and the special connection we have with you all. With thanks from Adele xxx
My wedding flowers from Elaine and her team at From The Potting Shed were absolutely beautiful, and we are so happy we were able to experience her team's talents. My flowers ended up exactly as I had envisioned, and were correct in regards to what we discussed at my flower party. I wanted a more "traditional" floral style with blush and ivory colours, little greenery and a dome-style bouquet, and they were able to accomplish this! Elaine is talented, enthusiastic, and kind. My only suggestion for improvement would be to be more consistent with communication. At times the team was very responsive to messages, and then closer to the wedding the communication seemed to diminish. I know they are very busy, but it did cause a bit of stress in the last busy weeks! In addition, the delivery of the bouquets/corsages was approximately 40 minutes late on my actual wedding day, however the delay did not impact me or my timeline in any way. Overall, I was very pleased with the final result and am so happy the team was able to achieve my floral vision!
Elaine and her team did the flowers for my wedding yesterday. She came recommended to me by my two sister in-laws. I read her reviews on here after committing and became nervous because at times the communication between us seemed brief and I wasn't sure what to expect. I made a make or break request without completely knowing what I was asking for. I had asked for 3 gardenia flowers in my bouquet, during a time when the gardenia plants weren't fully in bloom. She was honest and told me that it would be very difficult to fulfil that request. I called around to other florists to see if I could get some blooms, just in case, and not a single florist in the KW area was able to promise me 3 blooms during that time because of the plants seasonal blooming. So, I left it and accepted that I may or not may get the blooms. The morning of the wedding, my bouquet came in and it was just breathtakingly beautiful. Lo and behold, my 3 white gardenias were there and the smell was just amazing. The gardenia flower, once cut, starts to yellow within about 24 hours so the request I had made was not an easy one, but Elaine and her team had managed to deliver. On top of having fulfilled a difficult request, I received a gardenia plant free of charge as a gift. I was just blown away. Everything was delivered on time and nothing was left out. Our reception centrepieces were timeless, with various kinds of grapes mixed in with the flowers. Someone from every table mentioned the addition of the fruit to those centrepieces. So, my advice to you is this. Elaine is an artist, not just a florist. She comes by this artistry honestly and needs wiggle room to create these masterpieces she's known for. If you're the kind of bride who needs to control every detail or who needs constant reassurance, this florist may not be for you. However, if you're able to clearly communicate your vision and theme, and then trust her to deliver the day of you'll be very pleasantly surprised with how much more she can do when given the room to work. Elaine and team, thank you so much for creating a dreamy romantic setting for our wedding. I was 100% pleased with my wedding florals.
We could not have been more happy with "From the Potting Shed"! Everyone was so friendly and helpful. I was so impressed with the set up of the flowers for our wedding (out in Owen Sound). From the Potting Shed went above and beyond. The flowers were gorgeous and despite the heat wave (39 C) they looked fresh throughout the entire day (and week according to the guests who brought flowers home). The flower party was a blast and a fun way to plan and come up with ideas for flowers before the wedding! We highly recommend them to anyone looking to have flowers at their event. It was so much fun planing our wedding with them. Thank you again!
I am so surprised to have to write a negative review. After meeting the potting shed I was very excited to see our flowers with plan to incorporate herbs, olive branch and assorted white buds. I LOVE flowers, so as gift, our guests were to be given their place setting flowers to take home. Centrepieces went to our moms. What Im most disappointed by is the quality and quantity of what wed received: our white flower scheme did not look fresh (many flowers were wilted). Place setting flowers looked extremely sparse to point of silly - so no gift in my mind. Communication fell off when needed most (consistent with other reviews) I had no idea what the tables were going to look like. Emails were returned days later with 1 week to our wedding (the busiest time for a bride).The potting shed became a single pain point while everything else with our wedding planning was smooth. Day of: Corsages were too heavy and werent worn, boutonnires werent sturdy and didnt last the day. Wedding party flowers were dropped off in bulk with no individual names- not helpful - in end we were short. My mother-in -law didnt have a corsage, my mom took hers off, my ring bearer didnt have anything and my daughter didnt end up with flowers either. Tables didnt have any personality. With what wed spent I know we could have presented much better than we did. I think an eager local florist not associated with our venue would have served us much better; Im so disappointed because the flowers could have been so lovely if our money was better utilized even despite the tired stems. Further, if communication were better, to have known in advance how sparse wed look, I would have adjusted the flower plan. Missed business opportunity with us for sure for day of wedding and in future.
