Janie doesn’t hesitate when asked to describe her business as a flower, though choosing just one is nearly impossible because of how much she genuinely loves flowers. Her passionate monologue shows that she sees Flowers by Janie as a ranunculus, a garden rose, or a peony that as it blooms, reveals layers of petals and can double their original size into something generous and unforgettable. It’s a living metaphor that parallels her 25-year journey as a florist and 15-year journey as an entrepreneur, one defined by patience, refinement, and a commitment to timeless floral designs.

Janie’s floral path began in high school in Brooks, Alberta where she grew up. A work placement sparked her realization that being a wedding florist was her destiny. From there, she pursued a Bachelor of Management degree at the University of Lethbridge, formal floral training at Olds College, and advanced floral design studies in London, England and the U.S., continuously improving her abilities. Her dedication is felt in every design that’s both luscious and flower-forward. Every bloom is chosen with purpose by Janie.

What many couples may not realize is that wedding florals are a different discipline than most assume. Janie explains that beyond the artistry of wedding florals is an intricate balance of sourcing, timing, storage, logistics, installation, and teardown. This entire process is carefully thought out to ensure every stem is at its best stage on your wedding day. Janie’s level of care truly adds to the transformational experience that her floral designs provide.
