Welcome to forage & BLOOM
Forage & BLOOM was born from a great desire to create beautiful floral designs with a small footprint. Unique flowers, that are fresh, seasonal, and local are our jam! We deliver flowers that warm the heart, with love and care. They value the unique in the everyday and have a style that is considered artfully undone.
Amanda’s creations are thoughtfully considered, showcasing the wild and the pretty that nature brings us. She sees herself as the vessel, called to create and reflect the beauty that surrounds us, and is nurtured in the plants and flowers she grows and forages for her work.
Forage & BLOOM is a small, female-owned and operated business; a floral designer & wedding florist in Vancouver, providing services throughout Greater Vancouver.
Flowers are freshly picked from the cutting garden, and grown purposefully without pesticides supporting the pollinators and environment in the best ways possible. Each bouquet, & arrangement is lovingly created, designed to emote the feeling of the sender or client.
The surprise and delight flowers bring, by their mere nature of transience is where the true magic lies. Each design carries its unique fingerprint, capturing the viewer’s gaze, and luring us with a menagerie of scents, colours and shapes.

"We had a wonderful experience with Forage and Bloom and would highly recommend her for all of your floral needs. We wanted to work with Amanda after seeing her amazing flower arrangements at a previous wedding. The experience was great from start to finish. We love how she works with locally sourced flowers and her creative input to the design resulted in stunning arrangements, bouquets and boutonnières. She also was very conscious of working within our budget and we appreciate that. We also have continued to used Forage and Bloom for special occasion arrangements and they never disappoint. "

"I had such a specific interest when it came to the florals for our wedding. Whimsical, wild and natural and Amanda gave us just that. She was a dream to work with, so knowledgeable so we didn't have to be very specific which allowed her to just do her thing! Amanda made every one of our requests come true. From our arbour arrangements to our table arrangements and bouquets - mine was a magnificent cascading bouquet that I never wanted to let go -everything was perfect and it made our day that much more special."

"Amanda was so wonderful to work with. She is thoughtful, responsive, and INCREDIBLY talented. Her flowers were absolutely perfect for my wedding. She made me a stunning winter bouquet and 3 others for my bridesmaids, along with a delicate and elegant boutonnière for my mom. I would absolutely recommend Forage & Bloom to anyone looking for gorgeous and artfully assembled flowers for a special occasion.”

"Forage and Bloom is a rare company that offers a combination of services including; exquisite custom bouquets, excellent customer service, event styling, & workshops! I cannot express how grateful I am to have come across Amanda who helped me organize a special workshop for my team at work. We wanted to embark on a team bonding activity and floral arrangement came to mind and as a fun challenge, after doing some research I came across Forage & Bloom and was able to reach out to Amanda who helped me organize the entire event!"
