Hello! My name is Kassidy,
owner & florist behind River Florals!
From a young age I have always loved arranging flowers. While laid off from my main job in 2020 for the pandemic, I picked up a part time job arranging silk florals. In Spring 2021 I decided to learn more about flowers enrolled in a design course offered by the Toronto Flower School.
After completing my course, I was recalled from lay offs and moved to Calgary, Alberta. Once I settled into the mountain lifestyle, I decided to start my own business and River Florals was born in early 2022!
I am an Anishinaabe from Ontario, and use a lot of my Ojibwe knowledge of plant medicine to incorporate into my arrangements. I have also studied traditional symbolism from the Latin names and other cultures. All of these teachings are used to design flowers that are meaningful to the individual.
