At Oleander, we believe flowers are at their most meaningful when they feel personal. Whether it’s recreating a favourite bloom from a wedding bouquet, sourcing a flower with sentimental significance, or designing something entirely unique for an anniversary or milestone celebration, we love helping bring our customers’ floral ideas to life.
One thing many people may not realize is that we are often able to accommodate special floral requests and custom sourcing. If there is a specific flower, colour palette, or style you have in mind, our team will always do their best to source it for you. Because many specialty blooms are seasonal or imported, advance notice is essential, particularly for rare varieties or larger custom orders.
It’s also important to keep in mind that special requests can affect pricing. Bringing in flowers outside of our regular seasonal inventory or sourcing specific varieties for one arrangement may involve additional costs depending on availability and market pricing at the time. We are always transparent about this and work closely with our customers to find the best balance between vision, seasonality, and budget.
One of the advantages of working with experienced floral designers like us is that we can often suggest creative alternatives or ways to incorporate a specific flower more strategically within a design. Sometimes using a few focal stems alongside complementary seasonal blooms can create the same overall feeling while remaining more budget-conscious. Our goal is never simply to recreate an image, but instead to create something personal, beautiful, and achievable within your comfort level.
Trusting your florist can also often lead to the best results. After more than two decades of designing flowers in Toronto, our team understands what is looking at its best each season, which flowers offer the strongest value, and how to create arrangements that feel elevated, lush, and personal.
If you have a special request or an upcoming occasion you’d like to plan for, we encourage you to reach out early. Visit Oleander, call the shop, or stop by in person to speak with our team about custom floral designs and special orders.
