When we first planted the seeds of our flower farm back in 2019, we had no clue we were starting a "blooming" business. What began as a way to stay home with our boys while dodging the rising cost of living has grown into a family-run adventure full of beauty, creativity, and the occasional frantic chase after a rogue chicken. Now, as we prepare to open our farm as a ceremony site, we’re excited to share this next chapter—and maybe a glass of our homemade wine—with you.
The Inspiration Behind ‘The Blooming Haven’ and ‘The Woodland Escape’
Why host ceremonies here? Well, aside from the fact that it gives us an excuse to show off our flowers, we simply love sharing the magic of our farm. Picture this: rustic charm, fields of specialty blooms, and the added bonus of a 40-year-old fig tree that’s seen more drama than a soap opera.
The European vibes of our rural Alberta home, passed down by the lovely old Italian couple who sold it to us, are the perfect backdrop for unforgettable celebrations. They taught us how to make wine, and in return, we’re teaching their fig tree how to star in wedding photos. Opening our gates for ceremonies feels like the next logical step in our journey—plus, who doesn’t want to throw a great ceremony on their own turf?
A Unique Experience for Couples
‘The Blooming Haven’ for intimate ceremonies and ‘The Woodland Escape’ for larger gatherings offer more than just a pretty backdrop. We’re talking about an experience so unique that your guests will be raving about it.
Imagine saying “I do” surrounded by rows of peonies, the soft buzz of bees (don’t worry, they’re invited but won’t get in the way), and the earthy scent of fresh blooms. Picture your guests wandering through the gardens, sipping champagne, and pretending they’re in a Hallmark movie. It’s all part of the charm, and it’s what makes our ceremony site more than just another venue—it’s an experience.
Supporting Local Community and Sustainability
Let’s talk about the feel-good factor. By hosting weddings on the farm, we’re keeping it local, sustainable, and stylish. Our flowers are grown right here, which means no jet-setting blooms from faraway lands.
Oh, and let’s not forget our ‘Enhance Your Experience’ package. Want bespoke floral installations? Done. Need bridesmaid bouquets? We’ve got you. Looking for a few bottles of our homemade wine to toast the day? Say no more. We’re here to make sure your big day is as personalized as your wedding hashtag.
Embracing the Joy of New Beginnings
If we’re being honest, the best part of this new venture is the joy we find in new beginnings. Weddings are like the first sip of wine—full of promise and potential (and occasionally, happy tears). We’re honored to play a role in these special moments, offering a space where couples can start their forever in a place filled with love, laughter, and flowers that rival any Pinterest board.
As we gear up to welcome couples in 2025, we’re equal parts excited and grateful. Our flower farm has always been a labor of love, and now it’s set to become a place where love stories begin. Whether you’re dreaming of an intimate ‘Blooming Haven’ ceremony or a grand ‘Woodland Escape’ celebration, we’re here to make your day as unique and beautiful as your love story.
Thank you for following along on our journey. We can’t wait to celebrate with you—and yes, there will be wine.
