Our Story
Inspired by the beauty of true LOVE
My name is Damara and I’m the owner and creative force behind Damara Garland Floral Design—or better known as Garlands & Florals. I’m passionate about all things floral and inspired by the beauty of true LOVE!
I’m blessed to live and create in the beautiful coastal community of Rose Bay, Nova Scotia, Canada where I live near the beaches and spend my days foraging local flora for my designs.
I first fell in love with flowers as a small child in my parent’s garden. Always inspired by the natural beauty around me, I continued to grow my passion until it fully bloomed into my dream business in 2020.
Throughout my creative journey, I had some help along the way—in 2014 I was hired at a small local flower shop, where my professional journey in flowers began. Although I only spent a few years at that particular shop, I learned so much there and happily refer to those years as my floral undergrad! After taking a short break during the covid pandemic, I was asked by one of my fellow florist friends to take on a wedding while she was away visiting family. I said ‘yes’ without a second thought and the rest is history!
Designed with Care
Let’s turn your dreams into a reality
One of my favourite things about floral design is creating a special story for each couple. Everything from the colour palette, to the flowers themselves, to utilizing special additions like flora from the couple’s property or precious family heirlooms.
When you work with us you’ll get a free consultation to talk through your design ideas, colour palette, and flower choices. From there, we'll work with you to develop your ideas and incorporate your individual style and personality, to turn your dreams into a reality.
As no two couples or celebrations are alike, we prefer to design our florals à la carte where you can pick and choose what suits you! Choose individual floral products such as bouquets, boutonnières, table arrangements and venue flowers to complete your custom vision.
