Workshops are back in season!

Hey flower friends!

We are so happy to announce our first flight of workshops for the season. To learn more about them or to book a spot please email workshops@coriandergirl.com.

We cannot wait to meet you!

Holiday Centrepiece: December 20th 2:00pm ($150 per person) SOLD OUT

Learn the basics of creating a lush, long lasting evergreen and floral arrangement in a vase. We will touch base on all key design elements including colour, line, shape and that garden inspired Coriander flare. All materials and floral shears are included along with spiked apple cider and light snacks to toast off the last week of the holiday season.

Gift Series

Our gift series are designed to be taken as a three part series where you will explore some key areas of floral design including indoor gardens, designing in a vase and hand tied bouquets. They make a wonderful gift for your sweetheart who wants to explore a creative path or for a mother who has always had a knack for floral design.

Gift Series Pt.1: Spring Planting: January 9th 2:00pm ($100 per person) SOLD OUT

We know winter finally in full swing, and we also know it is time for you to get out of the house and bring home some hope for spring. We will be teaching you how to make spring planters which can later be repurposed as a window box. Gorgeous long wooden planters, spring bulbs, potting material and snacks will be provided.

Gift Series Pt.2: Designing in a Vase: January 16th 2:00pm ($150 per person) SOLD OUT

Learn how to design a centrepiece in a beautiful footed glass vase. We will walk you through every step from taping to greening to blooming. The workshop will include all materials, a pair of floral sheers and some tasty treats.

Gift Series Pt.3: Hand Tied Bouquets: January 24th 2:00pm ($100 per person) SOLD OUT

Learn how to make a hand tied bouquet with a garden inspired Coriander flare. We will be teaching how to achieve a loose, flowing hand tied bouquet and how to build your bicep muscles (just kidding about the last part). All material, floral shears, light snacks and tea will be provided.

The Picton location in full bloom

It's an exciting time for Coriander Girl as we've expanded to the beauteous Prince Edward County.
We are so thrilled to be a part of this lovely community. Picton has proven to be a perfect place to call home. Everyone has been wildly supportive and shown us such love over the last couple of months since our recent opening just before Mother's Day.
If you haven't yet been by for a visit, please come in and introduce yourself. I can't wait to meet you!
The shop girls in Toronto are holding fort and producing extraordinary beauty both in the 1604 Queen St. location and in the wedding studio.
I am one blessed girl to have such an incredible team.
It's 11pm and I'm blogging from my iPhone and of course it won't upload my pictures for some nutty reason! But I promise pictures of the renovations are soon to follow.
Thank you to everyone for sending us so much love!
Listed on the sidebar is our contact information for all three locations. We look forward to hearing from you! 

And we love you right back,
Alison xo

Coriander Prince Edward County Grand Opening!

Hello Dear Friends!

I am writing you on behalf of Alison (because she is knee deep in paint and prepping for this exciting event) to tell you that as of May 3rd our third location is opening in Picton! We couldn't be more excited to bring a little Coriander flare to The County. We invite anyone and everyone who is able to make it to celebrate this new milestone with us.
Cannot wait to see you and share the love.

New Workshop Dates!

Hello City Dwellers (GTA included),
We are so pleased to announce our last four workshops until next winter. Wedding season is knocking at our door so we figured we better squeeze a few more in before our workshop space is turned into a wedding abyss.

Garden Style Hand Tied Bouquets: April 4th, 2:00pm-4:00pm, SOLD OUT $100 Per person

Learn how to make a hand tied bouquet with a garden inspired Coriander flare. We will be teaching how to achieve a loose, flowing hand tied bouquet and how to build your bicep muscles (just kidding about the last part). All material, floral shears, light snacks and tea will be provided. 

Centrepiece 101: April 18th, 2:00pm-4:00pm SOLD OUT $150 Per person

Learn how to design a centrepiece in a beautiful footed glass vase. We will walk you through every step from taping to greening to blooming. The workshop will include all materials, a pair of floral sheers and some tasty treats.

Because our "Single Ladies" Valentine's Day workshop was such a hoot we decided to do it all over again. This workshop is all about having a fun easy going night out with your girlfriends. We will talk about design basics, but mostly, we will just have fun. You will be able to take home a large mason jar arrangement. Materials and floral shears will be provided but this is a B.Y.O.B event and we will all chip in to bring snacks. Trust me, this is not a workshop you will want to miss. 

To sign up, email workshops@coriandergirl.com or call 416-551-9166. Please note that all workshops will take place at our wedding studio which is located at 77 Florence St. Unit 204.
I cannot wait to meet you!

The Wedding Co. Market & Workshop

This past Sunday we were so lucky to be a part of The Wedding CO.'s Wedding Market. 

The Wedding Co. is run by the most kind people and we were surrounded by so much beauty and warm hearted folks. 

Niv Shimshon spent his day walking around the market to take the most beautiful photos of everyone's hard work including our Wild About Flowers workshop. He made me look awesome as I blabbed away about my favourite topic; bridal bouquets, and for this I am so grateful. 

I am so proud to say that we are a part of this amazing community. Toronto is lucky to have such talented folk and we are so lucky to have such cool brides. 

Stay tuned for our upcoming photo shoot that will soon be released on The Wedding Co.'s blog.

Warmth On A Winter Day

As I sit here looking out the window (to where we can usually see the sun setting over the city) all I can see is a a grey abyss. I thought I should take this moment and warm up your day just like this lovely winter wedding warmed our hearts. Niveen and Rob were so lovely to work with and gave us a lot of creative freedom to let us show them what we can do. Olive Photography gracefully sent us these photos so we can share the warmth with you.
