The History of Shalimar Flower Shop
Shalimar Designs was first established in 1987, providing artificial silk plants, trees and flowers, through the 10 franchise locations across Southern Ontario and Quebec.

This allowed the public to have the beauty of Mother Nature in their homes, without the maintenance that was usually associated with it.

Why Flowers are the Perfect Holiday Gift
Finding the perfect gift for that special someone in your life always proves challenging.

Let’s get to those reasons.
To make a home more festive - Sometimes, people may not feel quite in the holiday spirit at home, especially in times of COVID-19, where we’re all stuck at home for most of the time. Bringing them a festive arrangement can brighten their holidays
For that picky someone - Some people are just impossible to buy gifts for. They either don’t know what they want or say they don’t care. As we said earlier, flowers can be perfect for these people. Do some research regarding the associated meanings of different flowers and their colours and you know have a thoughtful gift to give!
For the host or hostess - Holidays can be quite stressful for people who like to host family gatherings. They have to deal with the planning, cooking, cleaning and so much more. Brining a housewarming gift of flowers (and maybe a bottle of wine) can win over a hosts heart and act as a thoughtful gesture for all the effort they’ve put into the night.
As you can see, there are multiple instances and purposes to give flowers during the holiday season. To enhance a home, for a picky person or for a host. Give your loved ones the gift of flowers this holiday season with Shalimar Flower Shop.
