:: big announcement - la coquette has a little seed growing ::

We have a little seed of our very own growing.....I am due to have a baby in late November 2009. As a result, I have decided to take a maternity leave from my regular job and my beloved floral work.

I am sorry to say that I will not be taking any clients in the coming year, but I look forward to returning to working with brides soon :)

La Coquette Pricing - 2009

As a Bride, I was always confused by the floral costs when I researched florists. For my clients I decided to be more transparent about the process.

I will source beautiful blooms from my wonderful wholesaler in Victoria, BC, and then arrange them for you in my home. My flat rate arranging fee reflects the average wedding. You can accessorize the plan by adding on any additional arrangements that you will require.

If you are looking to keep your floral costs down, I would love to help you choose flowers that will allow you to have the flowers of your dreams at a price you can afford. Just contact me at fleurscoquettes {at} gmail {dot} com.

Hawaiian At-Home Reception Flowers

It is always a joy to design flowers for close friends, and when our friends B & N got married in Hawaii, we could not wait to celebrate with them back home! I created these tropical arrangements to reflect the beautiful area where they shared a small, intimate ceremony. It was so much fun to work with tropicals. Congratulations to the lovely couple!
