Why seasonal guidance matters (and how Pickadilly’s makes it easy)
Brides in Kelowna and the Okanagan often ask how to choose flowers that fit the season, venue, and weather—without stressing about wilting or supply gaps. With Pickadilly’s premium Real Touch faux florals, you get the beauty of seasonal blooms any month of the year, stable pricing, and designs that photograph beautifully from first look to last dance.
Pickadilly’s offers full-service wedding flower styling and rentals, from bridal bouquets and meadows to arches, ceremony pillars, centrepieces, and statement installs. We design, deliver, set up, and strike—so you can just enjoy your day.
What are Real Touch flowers?
Real Touch refers to ultra-premium faux florals crafted with advanced materials (like PU/latex and silk blends) and realistic veining, petal edges, and color gradients. They look and feel like fresh blooms, hold their shape in heat or cold, and photograph as convincingly real. Benefits for Okanagan weddings:
Heat-proof: No wilting in summer heat or freezing in winter.
All-season availability: Get “spring” peonies in October or “winter” anemones in July.
Sustainable & budget-smart: Reuse across ceremony and reception; fewer last-minute substitutions.
Allergy-friendly & venue-friendly: No pollen mess, no fragrance sensitivities.

How to choose your palette
Start with venue + dress code. Modern winery? Consider white orchids + structured shapes. Garden or lakeside? Go garden-style with peonies/ranunculus.
Pick 1–2 hero blooms you love (e.g., peony, orchid) and we’ll build the supporting cast.
Lock a temperature: cool (whites/greens), neutral (champagne/nude), or warm (terracotta/merlot).
Plan repurposing: ceremony meadows → head table; pillars → photo area; arch florals → sweetheart backdrop.
