If spending thousands of dollars on flowers for your reception just isn’t in the cards, or seems down right nutty to you, head over to Toronto’s Coriander Girl for a more natural approach. Offering down home flower arrangements with an earthy sense, the selections at Coriander lend a more robust feel to any setting.

While you’re there, take a look at the reception-worthy pieces including the capricious white vases from Oregon-based Pigeon Toe. Fit for any outdoor reception, you can drop in a candle to create a flattering glow or use them as a vase for a centre piece your guests will be fighting to take home.

Also offering both vintage and locally made crafts like tea, candles and lotions, Coriander Girl is inspired by all things fresh and beautiful – and who can argue with that?
