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.

Could not have been happier!

Amber and Team did the most amazing job at our wedding! I immediately got warm positive vibes the first time I met for a consultation.
They helped bring my vision to life and I am so grateful to have met them.
I found their pricing to be fair and on par with the quality of service received.
I will definitely be using them for all future events!

Thank you so much CG&S ❤️

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!

Stunning flowers & decor!

Cool Green & Shady (Amber & her team) did the flowers, candles, centerpieces at my wedding in Toronto last weekend at The Liberty Grand.

The venue wasn't my top choice, I was a bit apprehensive about it. After explaining my Pinterest vision to Amber just once, she executed the most beautiful ceremony & reception I could have ever dreamed of!

People were raving about the flowers, they were so happy to take some home. Both areas were decorated in flowers and absolutely breathtaking, I didn't have to worry about a thing. She really listened to my wants/needs to transform the reception venue! I can't wait to use Cool Green & Shady again!
