Meet the Owner, Jill

At the end of 2018, I quit my full time salary/pension job and decided to give this business 100% of my full attention & efforts towards all my weddings in 2019. I always knew from a young age I would run my own business and it would involve events in some way or another. As of 2021, I went full time into focusing on florals, instead of planning, (which I was doing for the previous 7 years). I have spent a lot of time self teaching and practicing floral skills, investing in education, and even grow a small cutting garden  to incorporate into summer + fall  designs (as well as picking up from local flower growers!) Making daily bouquets and arrangements at the flower shop that I opened 3 years ago now (wow time flies!) also keeps these skills up to date and fresh! Since opening, my flower shop has won multiple awards, including Best Flower Shop Hamilton 3 years in a row (2020-2023) by Top Choice Awards.

Getting additional certifications along the way and attending workshops, tutorials and online classes where possible - I love to stay up to date within the industry, current with trends, and updating opportunities & knowledge whenever I can; while always staying true to my unique style. In my last position before going full time with the business (Kortright Centre), I was able to supervise, setup, execute, and work directly with hundreds of wedding and corporate clients. I have an advanced diploma in Fashion Business Management & post-graduate with honours in Event Management & Design. 

On my free time, I love to spend time in nature, get my hands dirty in the garden, adventure with my husband and our two puppers, travel, and tend to my vast plant collection.
