Corporate and office
Corporate flowers for Toronto and York Region offices
We make corporate flowers for offices, clinics, showrooms and company events across Toronto and York Region: a reception piece that changes every week, centrepieces for the holiday party, or a list of client gifts going out in December. Tell us about the space and we'll suggest what will last in it.

What we make
Flowers for corporate and office
- 01
Lobby and reception arrangements
Larger arrangements for reception desks, lobbies and waiting rooms, sized to the counter and the ceiling. Before we suggest flowers we'll ask about the light, the heating vents and how close people stand, because all three decide how long a piece lasts.
- 02
Weekly office flowers
Fresh arrangements every week, every two weeks or once a month for the front desk, the boardroom or the staff kitchen. Contact us to pause or skip a delivery over the holidays or during an office move.
- 03
Corporate event flowers
Centrepieces, stage flowers, registration table pieces and bar arrangements for launches, galas, conferences and holiday parties. Tell us the venue and the timing, and we'll plan the delivery with you or your event planner.
- 04
Client and employee gifting
Thank-you bouquets for clients, flowers for a staff birthday or a new baby, and sympathy flowers sent on behalf of the company. Send us the names, addresses and card messages, and we'll work through the list with you.
- 05
Seasonal and holiday pieces
Tulips in spring, sunflowers in summer, chrysanthemums in the fall, then red roses and hypericum berries in December. Ask about holiday arrangements when you set up your regular schedule, so the office changes with the season.
Office flowers that suit the space
A reception desk at a dental clinic in Markham and a two-storey lobby in a downtown Toronto tower need very different flowers. Before we suggest anything, these are the things we want to know.
- Where it sits. A counter people lean on needs something compact that won't get knocked. A lobby seen from the front door can go taller and wider.
- The light and the air. Afternoon sun through glass and warm air from a heating vent both shorten a vase's life quickly. A metre to the left can make a real difference.
- Scent. Oriental lilies are lovely in a big lobby and too much in a small waiting room, or anywhere people eat lunch.
- Who looks after it. If nobody will top up the water, we lean on flowers that cope, like anthurium, alstroemeria, chrysanthemums and carnations.
Photos of the spot, taken at the time of day people see it, help us more than measurements do. A compact vase like Mauve Pedestal fits a reception counter without crowding the sign-in sheet. Something tall and bold like Island Flame reads from across a lobby.
How weekly office flowers work
Most offices settle into one of three rhythms. Weekly suits a reception or lobby piece that should look fresh every day the doors are open. Every two weeks works for boardrooms and kitchens, where a few tired stems near the end won't bother anyone. Once a month suits a small office that wants flowers without having to think about them.
Petal Post, our flower subscription, comes in three sizes: Postcard, a small seasonal posy for a desk or a reception counter; Letter, our full seasonal design; and Parcel, a statement arrangement for lobbies and boardrooms. Each delivery is made from that day's flowers, so the office sees something different each time rather than the same vase on repeat. That's half the point. People stop noticing flowers that never change.
If you have more than one location, or you'd like a larger lobby piece than the subscription sizes, use the enquiry form and we'll quote a schedule for your business. You can contact us to pause or skip a delivery when the office closes for the holidays or a long weekend, so nobody comes back in January to a vase of brown water.
Corporate event flowers: what to send us first
For a launch, a gala, a conference or the holiday party, a few details let us give you a useful answer instead of a vague one:
- The date, the venue and the room. A photo of the room is ideal.
- The guest count, how many tables, and whether they're round or long.
- Brand colours, or colours to stay away from.
- What else will be on the tables: candles, signage, laptops, food.
- When the venue accepts deliveries, and who will be there to receive them.
A few things we think about on your behalf. Centrepieces at a dinner with speeches should be low enough to see the stage over, or tall and slim enough to see under. A registration desk needs something that stays out of the way of name tags and a laptop. On a bar, we'd skip lilies, since their pollen marks glasses and white shirts alike.
Many companies start planning December holiday parties in the early fall, when venues and suppliers fill up. If your event is sooner than that, enquire anyway and we'll tell you honestly what's realistic for your date.
Hotel and restaurant flowers, from the lobby to the table
Hotels, restaurants, salons and clinics tend to use flowers in two places: one large piece where guests walk in, and small vases on tables or counters. The large piece sets the tone. The small ones are what people actually sit next to, so they deserve as much thought.
For a dining room, keep table flowers low and close to scentless so they don't compete with the food, and skip anything that drops pollen or petals onto a plate. Roses, spray roses, carnations and lisianthus all behave well on a table. An entrance arrangement can be as dramatic as you like, as long as it isn't in the path of coats, strollers or servers carrying trays.
Two questions to settle before you set a schedule. Which days is the space busiest? A restaurant closed on Mondays probably wants fresh flowers on Tuesday or Wednesday, not Friday afternoon when the week is nearly over. And will someone on staff refresh the water? If the honest answer is no, tell us, and we'll pick longer-lasting flowers instead of ones that need daily care.
Corporate flower gifts for clients and staff
Flowers are an easy gift to send on behalf of a company. There's no size to guess and nothing to assemble, and they arrive at the person's door or desk.
For a list of gifts, send us a spreadsheet with names, delivery addresses, the message for each card and the date you'd like each one to arrive. We'll work through it with you. Your message is tucked in with the flowers, and prices are never included with a delivery. Each address gets its own delivery window: anytime, morning or afternoon.
A few small things make a company gift feel less like a company gift:
- Sign the card from people, not just the logo. "From everyone at the Vaughan office" reads warmer than a company name on its own.
- For a staff member's loss, keep the colours quiet and send to the home rather than the office.
- For a client in Toronto, budget for a higher delivery fee, since it's our longest drive.
For a single gift that needs to go out today, our same-day delivery works for most postal codes when you order by 1 pm.
Setting a budget for office flowers
We quote each business individually, so there's no price list on this page. What we can do is explain where the money goes, which makes it easier to decide what you want.
Size versus frequency. One large lobby arrangement every two weeks and a smaller one every week can cost about the same over a month. The weekly piece always looks fresh; the larger one makes more of an impression on its first few days. For a client-facing reception, we'd usually pick fresh over big.
One statement or several small pieces. A single arrangement at the entrance is often more effective than five small vases spread around the office, which tend to get lost among monitors and coffee cups.
Seasonal flowers go further. Flowers in season usually cost less and last longer than the same flowers out of season. We explain why in our post on why seasonal flowers last longer and cost less. If you're flexible on the exact flowers and just give us colours, your budget stretches further.
Tell us roughly what you'd like to spend per month when you enquire, and we'll show you what it buys.
Ideas
Flowers that hold up in an office
Offices are warm, dry and busy. These are the flowers we reach for when a piece has to keep looking good between deliveries.
- 1
Anthurium
Waxy, glossy and slow to fade. It reads clearly from across a room, which is why you see it in so many lobbies.
- 2
Alstroemeria
Several blooms on each stem, with buds that keep opening over the following days. The vase often looks fuller midweek than on the day it arrived.
- 3
Chrysanthemums
They cope with dry office air better than most flowers, and they come in more shapes than people expect, from small daisy mums to big round blooms.
- 4
Carnations
Underrated and sturdy. They come in a wide range of colours, so they're handy when a piece needs to sit close to a brand palette.
- 5
Roses
The safe choice for a client-facing room. Keep them away from heat vents and direct sun and they hold their heads well.
- 6
Hypericum berries
Berries rather than flowers, so there are no petals to drop. They add texture in the fall and look right next to red roses in December.

Questions
What people ask about corporate and office
Do you deliver office flowers every week?
Yes. You can choose weekly, every two weeks or once a month, and contact us to pause or skip a delivery when the office is closed. Our subscriptions cover desk and lobby sizes, and for several locations or larger pieces we quote a schedule for your business.
How much do corporate flowers cost?
We quote each business individually, because a single reception vase and a weekly lobby piece for a busy building are very different jobs. Tell us the spaces, how often you'd like flowers and roughly what you'd like to spend, and we'll show you what that covers. Subscription prices are listed on our subscriptions page.
Is there a minimum order for businesses?
We quote each business on its own, and a small office with one reception arrangement is just as welcome as a large building. There's no minimum order. Delivery starts at $12 and is priced by driving distance.
Can you do flowers for a corporate event in Toronto?
Yes. We deliver across Toronto and York Region seven days a week. Tell us the venue, the date and when deliveries are allowed in, and we'll plan the timing with you or your event planner. If you need anything beyond delivery at the venue, mention it when you enquire and we'll talk it through.
Can you send flowers to a list of clients or staff?
Yes. Send us the names, addresses, card messages and dates, and we'll work through the list with you. Each message is tucked in with the flowers, and prices are never included. For a single gift, order by 1 pm for same-day delivery to most postal codes.
Can the flowers match our brand colours?
Usually, within reason. Send us the colours, or a photo of your logo, and we'll suggest flowers that come close. Some shades, like a true blue, are rare in fresh flowers, so we may suggest a neighbouring colour or a white and green piece that sits comfortably next to your branding.
Do you need to see the office before quoting?
Photos usually cover it. Send a few of the spot, taken at the time of day people see it, plus rough measurements of the counter or table. The light, the size of the space and how busy it gets shape what we'd suggest more than anything else.
Tell us about your day
We quote every event on its own. Share what you know so far, even if it is just a date and a colour, and we will take it from there.
