Our clients’ testimonials and their chosen wedding venues in Canmore and Banff.
‘Ralph was an absolute dream to work with as our wedding florist! From the very beginning, he listened to our ideas and brought them to life in a way that far exceeded our expectations. Every detail — from the bouquets to the ceremony arrangements to the reception décor — was breathtaking. When we walked into the reception space, we were in awe of how beautiful it all looked.
Ralph was so easy to communicate with throughout the planning process, offering guidance and creative suggestions while making sure everything reflected our style perfectly. On the wedding day, he executed everything flawlessly and created such a warm, romantic atmosphere that our guests are still talking about.
We are so grateful for Ralph’s incredible talent and professionalism. If you are looking for a florist who truly cares, has an amazing eye for detail, and will make your wedding day unforgettable, Ralph is the one!’

‘Working with Ralph was my absolute favorite part of wedding planning!! I dreamed of having a custom arch made but didn’t know if I could afford it with everything else that I needed. Ralph took my budget and Pinterest board and came up with a full florals plan including bridal and bridesmaids’ bouquets, boutonnieres, corsages, aisle pieces, centerpieces, and a custom free-standing arch all within my budget!! I also loved the process of deciding which flowers would be used for each piece and the online portal he uses made it super easy to keep all the categories of florals clear and organized. He was extremely patient and kind with me going through all the edits.
This was the one part of wedding planning I did by myself and felt like I got to do 100% for me (my husband is terribly colorblind) and the only part that was 100% stress-free with Ralph providing delivery and set-up of both the ceremony and reception. My biggest regret is that I never got the chance to meet Ralph in person on the day and thank him profusely for making my wedding even more beautiful than I dreamed. The aisle pieces especially were the main element to the decor of both our ceremony and reception and they still bring me such joy looking at them in photos. Just look at these photos and run don’t walk to book Blue Lakes Floral Design!! I promise you’ll be blown away!‘

‘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!‘

‘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.‘

‘Our wedding flowers were BEAUTIFUL. It was exactly as I hoped for.
He was able to produce enchanting arrangements for our wedding at Chateau Lake Louise that I will never forget! He is a professional and at the best price for the Bow Valley. Also the moms were thrilled Ralph was able to secure extra tall gladiolas and peonies – as they would typically be out of season. Thank you Ralph!!‘

‘We were thrilled with our spectacular florals for our wedding at Canmore Ranch & Cornerstone Theatre! Ralph was a pleasure to work with, quick to communicate and very helpful with any changes. I gave Ralph my vision board with my colour pallet and he exceeded my expectations! We are incredibly happy with everything, and can’t thank Ralph enough for contributing his eye for beauty to help make our perfect day pop with colour. I highly recommend Blue Lakes Floral Design if you are looking for beautiful and affordable florals.!!‘

‘I didn’t get a chance to meet and discuss floral designs before the wedding. I sent Ralph a picture of what I wanted and let him go to work! I didn’t see the flowers until the wedding day. I trusted him and the results were amazing! The flowers were beautiful! More beautiful than I ever imagined!! He’s a pro!‘

‘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!‘
