For the 2% of you who don’t already know, I’m obsessed with florals. My dad always says that when he dies not to worry about him because he’s going to be in heaven “exploring the inner workings of a rose” and to be honest, I’ll probably be saying the same thing to my kids for the rest of my life, but about peonies.

To further my obsession, I’ve recently gotten to work with some incredibly talented florists in the city, the first of which is AM Florals. She did the florals for my wedding, she designed a bouquet for my styled shoot I organized when I first moved to Ottawa, and recently, we got her in front of the camera to show off her abilities as an artist and business owner. If you’re looking for a florist inspired by European coastlines and who you can fully trust to create a masterpiece, Allycia is your girl.
