I’m Chelsea, and I’m so glad you’re here!
Owner, floral Designer, Gardener, Mama, Simplicity seeker
My favourite childhood memories are summers spent on my Grandparent's farm in Central Alberta. My Grandma's flower garden, a wondrous place of inspiration and colour that I could spend days in! Her love of gardening and all things antique sparked my own passion for flowers and her sweet vintage style inspires me to this day!
Years later, I found myself back in the country not far from their farm, studying Commercial Floristry. In 2005 I graduated with distinction from Olds College. I spent the following years working in flower shops around Calgary. My husband Josh and I married in August 2012. For months I poured over Pinterest, and all the wedding blogs of the time. And then, in the wee hours of the night and morning before our big day, I created the floral designs of my dreams. By the way, that's us in the photo above!
Creating my own wedding florals kindled my interest in wedding design & I fell in love with the planning process and all the fine details! Fern & Frond opened for business in September 2014. Today, I operate Fern & Frond from my home studio in the mountains near Kamloops, BC.
Fern and Frond is rooted in nature and creativity. I love telling your story through flowers and making the wedding floral design process enjoyable from start to finish! Here's what some of my recent clients have said about working with me.
"Thank you for helping us celebrate, and thank you for the beautiful florals you created and bringing the vision I had for the day to life. I'm so happy we were brought together, and happy to say my florist became my friend."
"THANK YOU for being so unbelievably talented and making our special day everything we could have dreamed of! It was such a pleasure to work with you and I can't wait to send you the floral photos."
"Thank you so much for the beautiful flowers and for helping with their boutonnieres! You really went above and beyond to make your day absolutely perfect. It was such a pleasure to meet & work with you!
