Great Florist in Toronto!

They understood our vision and executed it perfectly! They were very accommodating to work within our budget and always seemed genuinely excited about our wedding when we were planning the day and when they arrived on the day of.

Stunning!!!

Amber and the team were fantastic and they captured our aesthetic and color scheme just how we wanted. They were super flexible in terms of changes/customizations to meet our budget and we truly appreciated that. The sheer beauty of all the floral arrangements, bouquets, and flower arch, were beyond what we expected. The overall design and attention to detail added a little something extra to an already magical day.

Sincerely, Stefan and Caitlin

Stunning flowers by lovely people!

Cool Green & Shady have been our local florist for years (they even did my prom flowers over a decade ago!), so it was an easy decision to work with them for our wedding in September 2022. Amber and her team were an absolute pleasure throughout the planning process and provided great guidance from start to finish. I had daydreamed about my wedding flowers for months (years!) and what they created was more beautiful and customized than I could have imagined. From the ceremony, to the centrepieces, to my bouquet, and all the thoughtful details woven throughout — the flowers truly elevated our day into something magical. If you’re looking for bespoke floral design with a talented, fun and helpful team, CG&S are your people!

Dream come true!

My husband and I got married on July 15th, 2022 at Elora Mill. Amber from CG & S was our consultant. It was the most amazing experience from start to finish. From the first consultation to the execution of my vision, Amber really went above and beyond to ensure I was a happy bride. The morning of the wedding, a few of the Elora Mill staff members approached me to let me know how stunning the reception room looked and that they have never seen anything like it. When I walked into the room, I couldn’t have been happier! The vision in my head was perfectly executed! I cannot thank Amber enough for her hard work.

Beyond expectations!

Amber and her team were absolutely amazing!! She was able to provide us a quote during our initial call and was able to guide us through the process, recommending what would be in season and help with allergies. The flowers were stunning and her team delivered and set them up the day of. I would highly recommend her to anyone in Toronto!

Excellent service, beautiful arrangements

We worked with Amber at CG&S and she was great! We didn't have a clear vision of what we wanted and Amber was able to walk us through the choices, offered suggestions, and helped us stay within budget. I would highly recommend this florist!

Oh my goodness.... AMAZING

Amber and her team are so talented!! I had a micro wedding however decided to “go big” with the floral design and Amber exceeded my expectations! The flowers were so stunning & unique! We are still raving about them. I requested a “waterfall”, very long bouquet which I absolutely adored. Amber really listens to you and what you want but also adds a touch of magic! Will highly recommend Cool, Green & Shady to friends and family! Thank you Amber!!
