From HUMBLING BEGINNINGS rooted my passion for FLORAL DESIGN and FLOWER GROWING.

Your flower BFF

Meet JENNIFER

Founder, Lead Designer + Mom-Boss

It took several years and some clear signs from the universe for me to pursue my love of floral design and take the plunge into full-time small business ownership. In 2015, while on maternity leave with my first born I had a bit more time to  "play with flowers".  To ignite a passion repressed for years I made weekly trips to a local greenhouse to buy cut flowers, I watched endless tutorials on YouTube, and I filled my small condo's 20 square foot balcony with a raised flower bed and potted plants. 

That year on a whim I agreed to design flowers for a friend's wedding…and it was MAGICAL! Empowered by the success and the support of my family and friends, I took the leap to register the business, enrol in formal accredited training and start my floral design journey!

In 2020 the "Pandemic Pivot" and its supply-chain issues brought my eyes back to my love of flower growing, so I ripped up my lawn and started a backyard micro-flower farm. It's taking some serious effort, and money, but every season my plot gets bigger and nurtures more varieties for my designs from seed (or bulb, tuber, rhizome) to harvest.

Now entering into my tenth year of business, with countless arrangements, weddings, workshops and farmers market appearances as my foundation, The Paisley Rose is my full time passion.  With endless dreams for the future, I can't wait to share my love of flowers with you!

Our Philosophy

We believe flowers are more than just decor—they’re experiences. Our passion is crafting meaningful, beautifully curated arrangements while prioritizing local, sustainable products.

We proudly support women-owned businesses, female entrepreneurship, and micro flower farming, while advocating for positive mental health care.

Oh, and we do it all with a healthy dose of humour, a few well-placed expletives, and a whole lot of unapologetic feminism. Because beauty should be bold, and so should the people creating it.

Homegrown and RESPONSIBLY Sourced Products

As feminists and advocates for environmental consciousness, we commit to using local and/or responsibly grown varieties in all of our designs.  In the summer months many varieties are harvested from our micro flower farm here in Mississauga. No harmful chemicals are used in the production of these homegrown blooms, and rainwater harvesting is practiced for responsible irrigation.   

In the off-season, and to supplement those larger orders, we primarily order Ontario grown product, or international product from flower farms proven to uphold the highest standards for environmental consciousness and human rights. 

​Every effort is made to avoid using bleached, painted and unnaturally preserved botanicals in our designs.
