Effortless Design, While Treading Lightly

Peaks & Petals crafts stunning floral installations for special events, sourced directly from local farms and Canadian growers. We believe in impactful beauty while reducing environmental waste.

Hi, I'm Alexa — Floral Designer, Educator, and Mountain Lover.

My journey into floral design began when I was planning my own wedding right here in the Bow Valley. Searching high and low for a designer committed to eco-friendly practices, I realized that if I wanted a sustainable, nature-led floral experience, I’d have to build it myself.

Today, my design philosophy remains simple: let Mother Nature lead. I specialize in organic, garden-style, and highly textural arrangements that honor stems in their natural, untamed movement.

When I’m not in the studio, you’ll find me teaching high school physics, chasing my toddler, out on a bike ride, or soaking in the alpine air. That background in science brings a unique layer of hyper-organization and structural precision to my floral work. Having worked across nearly every venue in the Bow Valley, I understand the complex logistics and mechanics of mountain events inside and out.

My goal is to make your planning experience feel effortless, relaxed, and fully cared for, knowing every single detail has been thoughtfully engineered for a seamless celebration.

Our Journey

From Tradition to Transformation

We began with a simple question: can breathtaking event florals exist without harming the planet? The answer led us away from conventional methods, embracing a radical commitment to sustainability. We shed floral foam and single-use plastics, seeking a better way.

This transformation wasn't just about eco-consciousness; it was about elevating design. By working directly with nature's rhythms and local growers, we discovered a vibrant palette and a structural integrity that traditional floristry couldn't match.

We began with a single question: Can breathtaking event florals exist without harming the planet?

Our answer led us away from conventional methods and into a radical commitment to sustainability. We abandoned floral foam and single-use plastics in pursuit of a better way—discovering along the way that eco-consciousness doesn't limit design; it elevates it. By working directly with local growers and nature’s natural rhythms, we unlocked a vibrant palette and a level of structural integrity that traditional floristry simply couldn't match.

Our Eco-Conscious Commitments

  • Local & Canadian Sourced We prioritize seasonal blooms grown right here in Alberta and across Canada. By supporting regional flower farms and local co-ops, we skip international air freight and bring you fresher, longer-lasting stems that reflect the true season of the Canadian Rockies.

  • 100% Foam-Free Mechanics Traditional floral foam is a non-biodegradable, microplastic-polluting toxin. We create every installation, arch, and arrangement using re-usable structural mechanics, floral wire, and natural vessel support—never chemical foam.

  • Closed-Loop Waste & Composting Every stem from our studio conditioning and post-wedding teardown goes straight to local composting facilities. We can also bundle client flowers into reusable wraps for guests to take home, keeping organic material out of landfills.

  • Human-Centered & AI-Free Proposals We design every proposal and stem recipe by hand. No AI-generated imagery or auto-generated estimates that promise impossible blooms. You get accurate, custom pricing, real design recipes, and honest mountain logistics tailored specifically to your venue.

Every stem, carefully selected

Our commitment starts at the source. We partner with local farms whenever possible, ensuring every stem is cut fresh, often just a day or two before your event. This direct relationship guarantees unparalleled vibrancy and supports our community.

Chicken Wire & Pin Frogs

Water Tubes & Vessels

Compost & Reuse

Instead of toxic foam, we build structural armatures from reusable chicken wire and secure blooms with pin frogs. This allows for natural stem placement and water access.

Delicate stems receive individual water tubes, ensuring freshness. Our extensive rental catalog offers diverse vessels, eliminating single-use plastic reliance.

Post-event, all organic matter is composted, and vessels are cleaned and reused. We aim for a truly circular system, leaving only memories behind.
