The short answer
For graduation, send a bright, hand-tied bouquet that's easy to carry and photographs well: First Light from $50 for a quick congratulations, or Softest Hour from $70 for someone close.
Golden Hour Blooms Co., a wildflower florist in Markham, delivers graduation flowers across Markham and Whitby. June dates fill fast, so order early.
What makes a good graduation bouquet
- Easy to carry. Hand-tied bouquets are light and hold well through photos and hugs.
- Photographs well. Bright, cheerful colours, or the school's colours if you'd like.
- Personal. Their favourite colour or flower beats a generic arrangement every time.
In June, Ontario peonies may still be in season, and summer stems like cosmos and snapdragons are starting. See what's blooming in June.
Deliver at home, not the ceremony
Ceremonies are crowded and hard to deliver to. Our tip: schedule the flowers for home the morning of, so they have them for photos before they leave, or the day after for a proud, quiet moment.
"Owners were super responsive to my order. Celebrating graduation was made extra special by beautifully hand-tied bouquets." Angela P.
What to write on the card
- "You did the hard thing. We're so proud of you."
- "Four years of early mornings, and look at you now."
- Keep it short and specific. We'll write it by hand.
Order early for June
Graduation season is busy, and every bouquet is made to order. Book 1 to 2 weeks ahead for June dates.
