Loves whimsical, organically arranged seasonal flowers & unique botany and understands working with locally grown blooms means we create bridal floristry with the divine selection nature provides in the season she’s chosen to say I Do!
I write poetry with flowers.
As the daughter of a florist and granddaughter of a lifelong gardener, my inclination to grow and make art with flowers was inevitable.
I was raised in small-town Ontario in an Italian Canadian home, where creating beautiful things is as ordinary as a dish of fresh pasta for Sunday dinner.
After a decade of work in the wedding industry as an event designer, cake artist and occasional florist, I’ve found love working with seasonal blooms in collaboration with Mother Nature.
I’m obsessed with my husband TJ, our daughter Luna, our spaniel & precious black cat, and our mission to live our most beautiful, inspired lives together in our dream home on Pender Island.
Our flowers are grown in Evermore’s own and neighbouring gardens, nurtured from seed to blossom with the utmost attention and care.
Her arrangements are so magical and completely unique to anything I’ve ever seen. She made the day look and feel so special. Above and beyond her immense talent and creativity, Mercedes is kind, warm, friendly, and open to all your ideas. Her team arrived early and worked tirelessly for hours building all her creations. Our guests were blown away and were very excited to take flowers home with them after the wedding.
Thank you Mercedes for everything you and your team did for us!

I had been having a tough time finding a Pender Island florist to do my destination wedding when she saw my plea for help and reached out. She is amazingly talented and I completely trusted her to execute my vision. A zoom meeting and a shared Pinterest board later, she created something so beautiful for our event. All the flowers were picked from local growers and turned out so magical all put together.
Thank you so much for letting your creative mind run free. She is THE Pender Island floral designer you need to hire. Thank you so much for everything.

Flower arrangement far exceeded my expectations!!! I was looking for a unique, beautiful, very special looking arrangement and I received that and more. I also received such personal attention, made me feel as though i were her only customer. I cannot say enough how beautiful the flowers were and the exceptional service I received. Looking forward to doing business with Evermore again.
