Fleurs de Villes returns to The Leaf with a NEW exhibition inspired by the natural wonders of the world!
Experience the global premiere of Fleurs de Villes WONDER. Brought to life by Winnipeg's talented floral artists, one-of-a-kind botanical creations will capture the power and beauty of the natural world in spectacular couture floral artistry.
WONDER will feature exquisite floral mannequins inspired by iconic natural landmarks, diverse ecosystems, rare botanical treasures, and awe-inspiring natural phenomena. The exhibition will include installations inspired by the lavender fields of Provence (France), Great Barrier Reef (Australia), Amazon rainforest (South America), monarch butterfly migration (Mexico), and more.
Please purchase tickets in advance to reserve your visit!
Hand Tied Bouquets:
Cut flowers should be delivered within an hour and kept away from heat or temperatures below 1 Celsius degree during transport as much as possible. Add the enclosed food packet to your vase and fill with room temperature water. Snip at least 1/2 cm off soft stems with sharp scissors (most flowers) or off woody stems with a serrated knife (roses + greens). Anything that seems too tough to snip with scissors is probably woody, but any cut/break really is better than none! Remove any leaves that would sit below the waterline. Place away from hot or cold drafts and out of direct sunlight. For the longest vase life, change the water and give the flowers another snip every 2 to 4 days. Remove wilted flowers as needed to encourage new blooms. If you’re thinking this is getting complicated, it simplifies to: snip, water, repeat!
Vase and Container Arrangements:
Once you get your flowers home, top the container up with water. Check on the water level of your arrangement every 2-3 days and keep filling the base of the vase or container as needed. Place away from hot or cold drafts and out of direct sunlight. Remove any wilted flowers as needed to encourage new blooms.
