Enjoy the process, ditch the stress.
Our design team will perfectly curate your event and tailor it to your style and budget. By providing you with an in-depth design guide and a custom layout, 3D renderings and a detailed list of what you'll need to execute the design, you can either take it and run or have our team execute everything for you; you're choice!
Our team of in-house florists create everything from bouquets and centrepieces to full-scale installations. We're known for loose, romantic arrangements featuring lush greenery, local flowers, unique textures and amazing colour theory. We actively practice sustainability and have even started growing our own flowers.
Event Design
Florals
Pinterest giving you anxiety?
Don't have a green thumb?
We can make pretty much anything. Invitations, welcome signs, directional signs, guest book signs, card box signs, signature cocktail and bar menu signs, seating charts, escort cards, menus, place cards, vinyl applications... you name it, we'll print it. We work on the designs with you show you proofs, send it to print and get it perfectly organized before your event.
Stationery
Not a graphic designer?
We try really hard to find really unique rentals that we can't find anywhere else in the region (and if we can't find it, we build it). We carry everything from linens, centrepieces, candles, glassware, cutlery, display walls, statement furniture, and more. All our items are available for pick up, delivery, full set up and even full tear down. Just tell us what you need!
Rentals & Decor
Can't source cool stuff?
Let's "blow" some minds! Our high-impact balloon designs combine a wide selection of colour palettes and unique balloon shapes and sizes to take your event to the next level. You can get anything from a small garland for pick up or order a full installation of any scale.
Balloon Styling
Want to make your party "Pop"?
Sometimes, all you need is to have one conversation with an expert to help get you on the right path. Maybe you want to bounce designs off us or you're stuck with your floor plan and need help. Maybe you need suggestions for venues to visit or vendors to book. Maybe you've already done the planning but need help figuring out the timeline. You can pick our brains on any topic you like.
Consulting
NEED JUST A LITTLE GUIDANCE?
We are exacting, bold, imaginative, open, and thorough. We work hard, our standards are very high, and we pride ourselves on our dependability. We love what we do, and you'll feel it every step of the way.

BOOK THEM!! I got married this past July and booking my florals with Brittany was one of the best decisions we made throughout our entire wedding process. I would give Brittany and her team TEN STARS if I could!! From day one, Brittany made this entire process so easy and stress free. If you need any more proof as to how talented this lady is, our wedding was published on Junebug Weddings this month. She is a great florist and an overall amazing person!! I will be recommending Brittany and her team to everyone I know!
- Bryanne & Andrew
5 stars aren't enough to describe how much of a pleasure it was to work with Brittany and her team to plan and execute our wedding. Brittany was flexible, open, and guided us through the daunting process of planning a wedding. She handled decor and florals for us (and coordination), and she KNOCKED IT OUT OF THE PARK!!!! I would not have been as calm and in the moment, if it wasn't for her. I am so thankful to her and her team for making our dream wedding come true.
- Camille & Nick
I HIGHLY recommend Frid Events for anyone with a busy schedule, or if you are just not really sure how to plan a big wedding and need a hand. She is incredible - extremely kind and has your best interest in mind and will make sure your special day runs smoothly. Brittany and her team did planning, design and florals for the entire wedding and SERIOUSLY knocked it out of the park.
- Lex & Ahmed
We actually got married on the day of the tornado and experienced flooding and a total power loss at our venue, but Brittany helped keep everything moving along seamlessly. She managed to get us a back-up generator so we were able to power the DJ for the rest of the night and keep the party going! We are very grateful to her and would recommend her to anyone!
- Madeline & Alexander
They planning from across the country easy as possible... meaning her team took care of everything. Our day was perfect. Her team was restless. The flexibility in her services is amazing. If you need florals, you will have the best florals. If you need help with design, she will envision and realize your perfect day even if you are clueless like me. Could not praise her and her team enough.
-Jessica & Mylan
Brittany and her team were true pleasures to work with from the beginning of the planning process to the end of our wedding day. I'm happy to be married, but will honestly miss being in contact with her on a regular basis for the past 1+ year. I had thought planning would be a huge chore, but I always looked forward to our meetings and calls.
- Danica & Mike
I can't tell you how happy I am that Brittany was suggested to me by a colleague. We used Frid Events for the florals and the set-up of our tables and Brittany truly made my vision become a reality. It was PERFECT! They were stunning! Brittany has a laid back "get it done" approach that puts her clientele at ease, which is what everyone needs! She has impeccable style and knowledge and was a pleasure to work with!
- Tanya & Tom
With only a month to go before our big day and trying to make arrangements from Sweden, a one-stop-shop for venue, decor and food seemed more feasible for us, but I really wanted the dream, Pinterest-worthy wedding that I saw reflected in Frid's portfolio and Brittany made it happen, all the while being flexible, personable, and professional. I cannot recommend her services enough!
- Charisse & Anil
The moment I met Brittany I knew I wanted her and her team running the show. I had a feeling she would transform my ideas and add her unique touches to them. That's exactly what she did. Along with her creativity, the planning process was simple and smooth. We were completely stress free the entire process. It rained on our entire wedding day and Brittany made us feel like it was a bright and sunny day at the beach. Priceless.
-Stephanie & Kurt
Working with Frid Events was a dream and the best decision we made during the entire wedding process. They did our planning, stationery, flowers and day of coordination and our wedding was seamless because of it. The flowers were insane and the beautiful ceremony arch was our dream come to real life. Do your future self a favour and book them now and your wedding will be beautiful, coordinated, stress free and be everything you could ever want.
- Rachelle & Scott
My husband and I would like to say a heart felt thank you to Brittany and her team for the breathtaking floral arrangements. She felt like a friend right away, and it was easy to trust that she was going to do an amazing job. They understood completely the wedding style and the current trends - and made bouquets and arrangements that were more amazing than I could have imagined.
-Brittani & Scott
BRITTANY IS YOUR GIRL! She definitely went the extra mile for us! She made sure that both my venues were ready and made sure that everything went without a hitch. It really shows that Brittany loves her clients because she took the time to get to know myself and my husband and paid attention to the type of day we wanted to have. Family and friends still tell me, months later, how well it all went.
- Dominique & Malek
Brittany from Frid Events was the most amazing florist we could have wanted for our wedding! I was so impressed with the bouquets, boutonnieres & altar arrangements that she made. Everyone tells me how beautiful our flowers were at our wedding and it is all thanks to Frid Events. Brittany was awesome to work with and really understood what I was envisioning.
- Julie & Chris
Not only did Brittany help us stay on track during the planning process with regular check ins, she was always available and responsive whenever we had questions. With very little direction, she took our flowers and decor and styled the room more beautifully than we could have imagined. They went above and beyond to make sure that we had absolutely nothing to worry about on the day of our wedding and I cannot recommend them enough.
- Laura & Han
Brittany and her team are AMAZING! If you have a dream for your wedding they can make it happen. They make the planning process seamless and so stress free, our wedding would not have turned out as amazing as it did if it was not for Frid Events. Thank you again for all your help and your amazing floral designs, everything turned out more beautiful then I could have ever imagined!
- Carly & Shane, Australia
I've had the amazing pleasure of photographing a wedding that was beautiful designed by the one and only Brittany Frid. Probably one of my most favourite wedding designs ever. Everything felt fresh and beautiful and there was immense attention to detail, which made everything flow and visually make sense. From the floral arrangements, to the menus, place cards and linens, everything was well planned out and visually soooo beautiful. Highly recommend Brittany Frid and her team of awesome people!
