Beautiful Work!

Wow!! I was so impressed by the artistry displaced by Ralph and Blue Lakes Floral Design. He took my vision and made it come to life. Ralph was so easy to communicate with and made our florals more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. When I saw our bouquets and other florals I was so happy with the style, quality and overall appearance, they were so amazing! Ralph & Blue Lake Floral Design were so fantastic and had very reasonable pricing as well. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for any floral needs. I am so glad I had my bouquet preserved so I can continue to enjoy how wonderful it is!

Stunning Florals and Amazing Service!

Blue Lakes Floral Design blew us away with their breathtaking arrangements for our October 1st wedding at Silvertip Resort! Ralph created exactly what we were envisioning and was so great to work with. We hired him only six weeks away from our wedding date and he put together the most beautiful bouquets and floral displays. Even with not much notice, he was able to make adjustments to our order by adding additional greenery when we added a guest table. He was very accommodating and agreed to drop off the wedding party flowers, boutonnieres, and corsages in the morning, as well as set up the other flowers at the venue. Communication with him was superb and his pricing very reasonable, especially given the exceptional quality of the flowers and the creative care and artistry that he put into every piece. We would recommend him to anyone looking for amazing service, and fantastic floral arrangements!

Beautiful Florals and Great Service

I absolutely loved my wedding florals. Not only were they better then I had even imagined, but Ralph was so wonderful to work with. His process was great: he had an online portal where he listed each floral arrangement alongside an inspo image from my pinterest board + a description for each arrangement based on our conversations + a price. This process was very transparent and I felt very heard/listened to. He was always prompt to respond to my questions and was great when I made a few changes over the year of planning. Very good value price as well.

Beautiful florals

We hired Ralph as our floral vendor for our Canmore wedding. It was important to us that all of our vendors were local and it was a bonus that blue lakes was affordable and the quality was excellent.
He created a beautiful bridal arrangement for me and was very easy to communicate with. He was flexible when I changed the colours and size of the bouquet.
Highly recommend to anyone!

Dream flowers!

I absolutely loved my bouquet as well as the floral arrangements at our wedding. Ralph did an amazing job as it was in between Fall and Winter. I did not want my flowers to have a christmas vibe. I loved the colours and they were absolutely gorgeous! I definitely recommend Ralph for any bride to be looking for beautiful floral arrangements.

Great experience, beautiful flowers!

Ralph was easy to work with and delivered amazing flower arrangements for our wedding! He put together bouquets based on my vision and ideas and really captured the look I was going for, without me having to over-explain. He was also flexible with making some adjustments and when we had to postpone our wedding once due to the pandemic. Highly recommend!
