At this time of the year our shop is blooming with beautiful, locally grown flowers.

No longer famous for just our vines, the Okanagan is quietly becoming a hot spot for flower farmers and right now 80% of the flowers we are using at FleuRich are homegrown here in BC.

As one of the first flowers to arrive in early spring, these hardy perennials symbolize renewal and hope and are a popular flower when it comes to representing springtime.

Daffodils come from the narcissus family, of which there are many different types. The most treasured varieties surprisingly aren’t yellow, we love the faded peach and creamy display of Narcissus Delnashaugh and Narcissus Actaea with its pure white petals and vivid yellow and red centre. Both make great cut flowers...in fact we love all the happy sunshine hues Daffodils bring into our homes.

We’re delighted to introduce you to our latest addition, The Gift Basket Collection! Four carefully curated Gift Baskets to mark any occasion or season of your life, let’s dive right in and take look at what’s inside each one.

Ooh la la la, its February and that can mean only one thing – Valentines Day!

Not that we need any excuse to send or buy flowers, yet at this time of year it feels extra special. Think outside of the box, send flowers to your grandma to show them how much you love them, the new parents so wrapped up in feeding and nightly waking a bunch of blooms becomes more than a gesture of love! Whatever it maybe, we've pulled together our favorite floral gift ideas to sprinkle your nearest and dearest with love.

A fresh take on winter whites, this week we’re learning all about how to create a stunning yet simple Winter Arrangement for our homes, with Laurence Rich, Head of Design at FleuRich.

In the anticipation for Spring and the natural clean crispness we crave during the late winter months, we asked Laurence to talk us through the perfect arrangement to bring light into our homes. Here’s how she created the stunner above…

New Year, New Wreath!

In the spirit of being intentional with our designs, repurposing is going to be a big word for us at FleuRich this year, and we’re starting with refreshing our Winter Wreaths.

Bringing people together through the love for floral therapy is our passion and the recent Winter Wreath Workshops we hosted at our neighbors, Barn Owl Brewing, brought everything to life!

The live workshops took place in the heritage barn at Barn Owl Brewing, in the newly converted mezzanine level, the perfect place for community connections and of course drinking locally brewed beer and wine.

As the nights grow longer and the daylight starts depleting our bodies naturally want to hunker down and get cozy within our homes. One of our favorite ways to embrace the season is to create an evening ritual and ours starts with lighting a candle.

Candlelight gives us light within the darkness of life, representing a bright future and we'll take that positive thinking in bundles come winter time! But do you know how to care for your candle? There's more to simply lighting the flame and blowing it out before you go to bed at night.

Keep on reading for our top 3 tips on how to care for your candles this winter…

When we were going to launch our first dried floral collection we knew it had to be 3 things;

Made and grown locally from flower farms following sustainably practices on their land.

Naturally dried and preserved. No chemicals or heavy processing here.

As close to our fresh floral designs as possible.

A long time ago we had vision of holding a workshop at a flower farm...let's just say dreams come true and blossom into inspiring experiences!

A couple of weeks ago we held a floral workshop with attendees from The Jilly Academy; The Academy at the Farm, along with installing all the stunning event floral décor using the Eleven Acres Farm harvest.

There's something about Fall; the sun-faded hues, a bountiful floral harvest, cozy evenings as the days become shorter.

A time for balance and grounding, homemaking and gatherings, we've curated our Fall Collection around these values, with a harvest full of floral and lifestyle offerings, just in time to celebrate Thanksgiving here in Canada, with your nearest and dearest.

This time last year things we're changing at FleuRich, in a big way! Laurence and the team were about to open the doors to our first ever store front, here in the beautiful Kelowna, in the after-mist of a global pandemic, in uncertain times, with no idea what the next year ahead had in store for us.

We've shed tears; many of joy, some of frustrations, and largely pain because of the rose thorns!

Celebrating the late blooms of the Zinnia and Cosmos, these annual blooms are in abundance right now as we see Fall on the horizon and a bountiful floral harvest filling the store and our hearts - It’s our favorite time in the floral calendar!

We are trilled to let you in on a little secret that happened back in Spring this year, when Laurence received an exciting email asking for her to be part of a feature in Chatelaine Magazine- Inside The Growing, Gorgeous, Female-Led Slow Flowers Revolution.

Oh hello beautiful! Meet the most beautiful bloom on the planet. Ok, you'll hear us say that about many flowers but there are so many that steal our hearts!

This month we relish in the most fascinating bloom that casts it's spell upon us every season, the dahlia.

Team FleuRich are proud allies and members of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community and what better way was there to show our love during Pride Month this June than with flowers?

We designed a limited edition Pride Bouquet, bursting with bright and colorful blooms, with a percentage of sales that directly supported a local charity close to our hearts, Etcetera here in Kelowna, BC.

Last week we were delighted to hand over a donation of $455.48 directly to the team.

We're coming into the last week of locally grown Peonies here in BC and wanted to take a moment to celebrate these late springtime beauties.

One of our teams absolute favorites, these stunning blooms are the only frills to be seen with this season and nothing beats the variety of pink toned hues.

Here at FleuRich we think blooms and beer are a pretty amazing combination. Both grown from the earth and harvested for pure enjoyment, there's no better way to celebrate the fatherly figure in your life this Fathers Day.

And if your looking for gifting inspiration read on, we'll convince you blooms, and of course beer are on the gifting wish list for everyone.
