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

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.

Beautiful bouquets

Ambar was so kind and very helpful in a such a short time. I'm so grateful with her art that made it a beautiful bouquet the way I wanted.
I highly recommend any bride who is looking for a beautiful bouquet and the flower decorations.

Professional & friendly, beautiful flowers

Amber and her team made this part of my wedding planning a real pleasure. After just a couple of short discussions regarding the look I was after, my bouquet and floral arrangements showed up at our venue looking stunning and smelling heavenly. Their prices are also quite reasonable.

Cool Green and Shady we love you!

I honestly cannot say enough about Amber and the CGS team. They came highly recommended to me by two friends and I can absolutely see why. Flowers were an important part of the day for me and Amber listened to everything I said and created flowers so perfect it was as if she had read my mind. We received countless compliments on our flowers and continue to over a month later. Everything was beautiful, they worked with us on our budget, were incredibly responsive and on time with delivery and pickup. I just wish there was a way to keep my bouquet alive forever because it was so beautiful. I keep looking Thank you Amber and everyone at CGS who made our day a success! I will be recommending you to everyone!

Thrilled with my wedding flowers!

I still can't get over how beautiful the flowers for my wedding were! I didn't have strong opinions about particular flowers, just my colour scheme. Amber was more than willing to work with my budget to execute the vision I had for my wedding day. When I arrived, I could NOT believe how beautiful the venue looked! Amber knew exactly what we needed to complete our decor and the setup/deliver was totally seamless. All my emails were responded to promptly, and you can tell Amber is very organized. Paperwork was clear, and pricing was straightforward. I would absolutely recommend Cool, Green and Shady as a wedding florist!
