Fast & Simple online ordering!

We eloped to Lake Louise in January 2024. Booking everything ahead of time from Toronto was a bit stressful but not the flowers.
Small Flower's website is perfect for anyone eloping who just needs a great bouquet & boutonniere for their special day. I ordered off of the a la cart menu and simply listed out the colours I prefer and the styles I like and Elli did the rest. Was smooth, simple and the result was perfect. Highly recommended!

Beautiful flowers

Ellie is so sweet and it is evident that she takes a lot of pride in what she does. During our meeting we went over my inspo pictures as I had a vision of what I wanted my florals to look like. I am still blown away with what she created, she delivered something even better than I could imagine.

Absolutly Perfect!

We are so incredibly pleased with the bouquets, boutonnieres, and corsages made for our wedding by Small Flower! Elli captured my vision perfectly, communication was always prompt, everything was ready as expected for the designated pick up time, and every piece was top notch quality. I would recommend Small Flower to anyone that needs beautiful florals!

Professional and Attentive

If you are having a small wedding it can be difficult to find a vendor willing to book you as a client, many have minimums of 4000 or more. Our budget was just under 1500 and included delivery from Calgary morning of the wedding, installation of large outdoor garland, boutionneries, bridal bouquet and maid of honor bouquets. Worth every penny and then some. The garland really made the evening gazebo setting come to life and the bouquets were breathtaking. Given it was January the real flowers were left for indoor use only, and many pictures were not captured except for that of the outdoor hardy garland. Would have purchased more if I had been able to take it back over the border to the states afterwards! Elli also remembered what florals and scents to avoid for both of us as well while sticking to our color scheme and keeping them more moody vs traditional in January when availability of flowers may be quite limited. I only wished I had a larger flower budget for the indoor setting

Stunning & Unique Wedding Arrangements!

Elli took on the task of creating our wedding flowers, including boutonnières, bridal bouquets, and centrepieces that could be attached to our ceremony arch. Elli was efficient, knowledgeable, and professional during our consult and provided various options to fit our budget. She was able to understand my wedding vision and the pieces she supplied were genuine works of art! Elli used a combination of flowers that created a unique and whimsical look to our entire day - exactly what we were hoping for! Additionally, Elli was extraordinarily accommodating and flexible to our time constraints, willing to come into her studio on her day off in order to allow a family member to collect the arrangements. We cannot recommend highly enough!

Wonderful experience with Smallflower Floral Studio

I found Small Flower Studio on instagram and immediately was drawn to all the arrangements. I messaged Elli and received a fast response. I told Elli what kind of bouquet I wanted and envisioned. Elli is extremely talented, patient and you can tell she loves what she does! I could not be happier with the bouquet arrangement Elli created for us (including matching boutonnieres) and will definitely recommend anyone who is looking for a stunning floral arrangement

Look no further! Amazing florist! Calgay/ Canmore

Elli was an absolute dream to work with leading up to my wedding. She had the most brilliant ideas for my wedding and was able to create the most elegant, breath taking reception and ceremony. Elli was extremely professional and went above and beyond from the actual creation and design of the floral arrangements through to delivery and setup. She was there every step of the way. If you are looking for a talented florist in Calgary or Canmore to help take away the stress of the day, Small Flower studio is cost efficient and amazing quality!

Gorgeous flowers, professional proprietor

We chose Small Flower to do our wedding arrangements, and the flowers were absolutely stunning. I couldn't be happier with my experience with the team leading up to and on the day. Elli is easy to communicate with, and she and her team are very professional. I wanted to use my family's antique pots and vases for the arrangements, and Elli was creative and accommodating in my request. She understood my vision; her execution of it was better than I could have imagined. Can't recommend Small Flower enough!

Excellent service and beautiful flowers!

Elli communicates efficiently and professionally, making the whole process very straightforward and seamless. I absolutely love her style, and she created beautiful florals for me without me having to tell her exactly what flowers I wanted, or give a lot information - this was very helpful as wedding planning is busy and stressful. I would highly recommend Elli if you like that whimsical look and you want someone who doesn't need to be micromanaged, but can be trusted to create beautiful florals.

Lead Designer

Hi, I'm Elli!

I'm a florist based out of Calgary, Alberta Canada in the heart of the Canadian Rockies, and Treaty Seven Territory. I have been in the floral industry for over 35 years owning Small Flower {floral studio}, formerly known as Anne Paterson's Flowers.

I take an artful approach to floral artistry, combining the most luxurious blooms with locally foraged natural elements provides a visually stunning experience.

The foundation of my creative process is anchored by the relationships in my life that allowed me to blossom and grow. As a child, I was surrounded by the innate and ephemeral beauty of flowers passed on to me through my grandmothers. i recall memories shared with them as they nurtured their garden blooms. Garden roses, peonies, dahlias, sweet peas and foxgloves to name a few of the classic beauties. This love translated into an understanding of the powerful language of flowers and how they teach us to grow and connect through our shared experiences. Nature is in constant motion and change offering us the opportunity to see the beauty in its imperfections and fragility.

With the belief that every Small Flower contains within itself its own unique magic, I offer an open and full heart to your floral experience.
