Vendor Spotlight Time 4 Flowers! ~ London Ontario Wedding Florist

Vendor Spotlight: Time 4 Flowers

London Ontario Wedding Florist

Today on the blog I am sharing another vendor spotlight and this time it is one of my favourite florists and people, Rosemary owner of Time 4 Flowers! To be completely honest I don’t quite remember exactly when I met Rosemary for the first time but I can draw it back to a styled session we did together back in May of last year! Since then we have done weddings together, have another styled session in about a week and a half together and also hangout at networking meeting and bridal shows together!

She is the sweetest, and today I am so excited to be sharing all about her and her business!

So lets begin!

1) First, tell me a little about yourself!

How do I describe myself? Well… a few words come to mind. I believe that I am a positive, enthusiastic, creative and happy person, who just loves life. I love to make people happy. I am an open book really. I tell you how it is, without the intention to hurt someones feelings of course.

2) Tell me a little about your business, how you got started? How many years you have been in business?

My business came around in 2013 while I was doing the Floral Design program at Fanshawe College. Before I started the program, I wanted to be a wedding planner, however just fell in love with the flowers and being creative that I decided to do (wedding) arrangements. As you can see, my passion is with weddings, however I can and do any floral arrangement. Time 4 Flowers was officially registered on June 7, 2013, however I started a few months before in March of 2013.

3) What made you want to start your own business in the wedding industry?

I am your typical romantic wedding type of girl. I was that girl who would carry pictures of wedding dresses in my wallet. When I started dating Rodger, I would cut out wedding dresses and put a picture of my head on it to see if he would like that type of dress on me. I seriously have had a passion for wedding since I was little.

4) Favourite part of your job?

I like pretty much all of it, however the cherry on the cake is when I deliver the flowers and the Bride is speechless when she sees her flowers.

5) What is your favourite wedding trend in your industry for the 2017/2018 year?

My favourite trend? I know this will sound horrible, however I don’t pay much attention to trends. I know greenery is the trend this year and I love working with all the different types of greenery, however there are so many other amazing flowers out there that I really don’t prefer one over the other. My heart does jump a little when a Bride asks for a cascading bouquet, I love making those.

6) If you could share one huge piece of advice to brides planning their wedding from your job what would it be?

Don’t skimp on flowers. I get the “Flowers will just die” comment all the time, however couples forget that flowers will be in every picture. They do make a statement and they do dress up your tables. Centerpiece’s don’t have to be elaborate and honestly, your flowers last longer than your food and drinks. Another piece of advice, book vendors who get your vision, who are as excited about your wedding as you are and who don’t manipulate you to book them.

7) Share one of your favourite moments or stories from a wedding day or client!

Only 1??? I give 100% to each and every couple, so to just choose 1 story or moment is a tough one. My favourite moments (not picking just one) my very first wedding. I was almost crying when I delivered the flowers as I was all of the sudden scared she wouldn’t like the bouquets. My Bride, who when I delivered the flowers started crying as they were better then she expected (and cried again when I delivered her daughter’s flowers the following year for her wedding). My first same sex wedding last year. I am still in touch with them and I absolutely adore this couple!! I honestly can go on and on as each and every Bride is so special to me. I don’t think they understand how grateful and thankful I am to them.

8) What do you do when you aren’t working? Hobbies?

My hobbies…uhm…. Surprisingly to many, I am very lazy and love to spend my days watching reality shows when I am not working. I also love love love camping and spending time in the forest and beaches.

9) Anything else you would like to add?

Thank you Michelle for inviting me to do this for you. I could have never imagined how much Time 4 Flowers has grown in the last 3 years. It is absolutely my dream come true and I can’t think of doing anything else but this. Of course I would love to touch on our “Smiles 4 Seniors” project. We offer our couples the opportunity to donate their flowers to this project. We make small arrangements of the wedding flowers and hand them out to seniors in local senior homes.
