Hi! I’m Anita Liao

I’m the founder and lead floral designer of Florals by Anita specializing in elegant and whimsical floral designs for weddings, corporate events and editorial pieces located in Edmonton, Alberta.

I was inspired to start my floral business after offering to do closest friends’ wedding florals on top of maid of honour duties in 2018. Did I have any experience with flowers prior to this? A normal person would usually only offer if they did, but queue me; abnormal, quirky and gutsy gal with two feet in and ready to serve labours of love!

A NICU/Pediatric RN by trade, I was looking to complement my systematic, absolute and science based career with a hobby that embraced the abstract, inspired creativity and allowed me to exercise that part of my brain. I had always been crafty and resourceful with a keen eye for design and putting elements together that don’t feel like they should work, but do. The other thing is, babies and flowers aren’t so different. They both need to be handled with delicate care; they are both temperamental; and yet, the goal is to nurture them so they can bloom into the most beautiful version of themselves.

Since I started my business, I have learned and gained so much experience in the world of floristry and I am humbled to be able to continue mastering my floral art. I’ve been fortunate to design and execute countless weddings, host various floral workshops and be published by different wedding magazines. I am entirely grateful to my family, friends, clients, and fellow wedding industry colleagues for believing in me, supporting my business and finding beauty in what I create.

Thank you for being a part of my journey and it would be an honour for me to be a part of yours!

All my love,

Anita
