Bloomex and FlowerNite do the Ottawa Signatures Show!

Last weekend, the Ottawa Signatures Show celebrated their 35th anniversary at the Shaw Centre and Bloomex was there to join in the fun! Our beautiful Poinsettias decorated the venue with festive spirit and our FlowerNite team did live demos all week long. We were delighted to be invited to such an amazing event, surrounded by hundreds of Canada’s most talented artisans.

Our expert hosts were there leading workshops, helping guests make their very own flower arrangements that they later got to take home and share with their families. This is what FlowerNite is all about! Getting together with friends, having a night out and learning something new. FlowerNite events are held at restaurants and bars throughout Ottawa and the surrounding area and you can even book a private event for a special occasion. Book your event online at flowernite.ca.

Bloomex supports Bobsleigh CANADA Skeleton as they speed towards gold!

In 1877, the Swiss decided to attach a steering mechanism to a toboggan, giving birth to the first ever bobsleigh. Skeleton got its start in 1892 when Englishman, Mr. Child, surprised his friends with a new sled made mostly from metal and shot down the hill face first. Canada has been competing in this adrenaline pumping sport at the world level since the first Olympic Winter Games in 1924. Athletes plummet down a 1300m track made of ice at 150 km/h, navigating at least 15 curves and every millisecond counts. This is not a sport for the faint of heart!

Canada will be competing at the BMW IBSF World Cup 2018 Games in Whistler, November 24-25 at the Whistler Sliding Centre.

As Official Floral Partner to Bobsleigh CANADA Skeleton (BCS), Bloomex will be providing all florals for the BMW IBSF World Cup 2018 Games being hosted in Whistler, BC on November 24-25. 2017. The provision will include podium bouquets for race winners to be given during the medal ceremonies, as well as floral arrangements for the VIP areas at the venue

On November 1, Canada announced their teams for the BMW IBSF World Cup 2018 Games, kicking off in Lake Placid on November 4-5, 2017. The team will then go on to compete in the 2018 Olympic Winter Games in PyeongChang. Kaillie Humphries is returning to defend her gold medal title, piloting the women’s bobsleigh. Her teammates, 16 in the World Bobsleigh Team and  six in the World Cup Skeleton Team, have helped contribute to four Olympic medals, five World Championship medals and 18 World Cup podium appearances throughout their careers.

To help support these Canadian athletes, Bloomex will donate 15 per cent of every sale to BCS when customers use promo code BCS15 at checkout.

Bloomex joins Canada on the podium at Skate Canada International

The Skate Canada International was held in Regina, Saskatchewan this past weekend and Canada’s stars shone bright as they skated their way to gold. As the official florist of Skate Canada, Bloomex provided all the flowers for the event including podium bouquets, centrepieces, gift baskets and medalist bouquets.

It was a hugely successful weekend for our athletes as Canada won triple gold! Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir won for ice dancing, Kaetlyn Osmond took the women’s title and Meagan Duhamel and Eric Radford won pairs. Somehow, between all the screaming fans and flashing lights, they still had time to stop and smell the flowers!

The medalist bouquets were made of stunning red Roses and snow white Fuji Mums, reflecting Skate Canada’s official colours and providing added tribute to our country.

Not only did Virtue and Moir win gold for their spectacular ice skating routine, they broke the world record (set by themselves in a previous competition) with a score of 199.86 - amazing!

Bloomex was also happy to provide extra large teddy bears for a fun Pass the Bear contest during the event. Some of the local school children who attended also received Bloomex teddy bears as part of their visit. Bloomex provided gift baskets for hard working volunteers and VIP guests, as well as flowers to brighten locker rooms, the arena, and other key areas of this International event. As always, it was a pleasure to be part of the exciting Skate Canada hosting! Our team had so much fun creating all the bouquets and arrangements.

Warm congratulations to all our amazing Canadian athletes.

Go Canada Go!

Bloomex cheered on the runners at this year’s Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon

We had such an amazing time at the Scotiabank Toronto WaterfrontMarathon this year! Over 23,000 people participated in the 5K, half and full marathon and thousands more came out to support them.

It was a great day for Canadian athletes as Leslie Sexton and Trevor Hofbauer became the Canadian marathon champions, while Emily Setlack and Tristan Woodfine both won their half-marathon races.

Bloomex was in Nathan Phillips Square handing out teddy bears and carnations for donations to the Canadian Cancer Society (CRS) in support of breast cancer awareness month. We had so much fun meeting everyone and we raised over $680 for breast cancer research!

As the Official Florist to Canada Running Series, Bloomex also provided beautiful centrepieces for the official press conference, floral arrangements for the VIP tent and other areas of the race site, bouquets for the race winners, as well as gift baskets for VIPs and CRS supporters both in Toronto and across Canada.

Thank you to everyone who came out to support the race and breast cancer awareness month and good luck to everyone training for next years race!
