Where Shadows Meet Petals

Look, I'll be honest with you – I never planned on becoming Vancouver's go-to person for moody, dramatic florals. Started out doing the usual weddings with white roses and baby's breath back in 2018, ya know? But something felt... off. Too safe, too predictable.

One evening I was closing up shop and noticed these almost-black dahlias sitting in the corner – they'd been there for days 'cause nobody wanted 'em. Everyone's looking for bright and cheerful, right? But these dark beauties had this incredible depth, this mystery that spoke to me. I paired them with deep burgundy ranunculus and some moody eucalyptus, and boom – everything changed.

Turns out there's a whole crowd of people out there who don't want the typical Instagram-perfect pastel vibes. They want bold. They want drama. They want florals that make a statement and leave people remembering their event for years.

So here we are in 2025, and Onyx Flare Odyssey has become this wild journey into unexplored botanical territory. We're pushing boundaries, mixing textures you wouldn't normally see together, and creating installations that honestly blow my mind sometimes. Every arrangement tells a story – usually a pretty intense one.
