Bold floral design in Toronto

for colour enthusiasts✨

I’m Rachel Kelly: florist, artist, ex-coworking queen, occasional motorcycle enthusiast, and the hands (and heart) behind it all.

Make Lemonade is a floral design studio based in Toronto bringing flowers to life with bold colour, inviting designs, and just the right amount of rule-breaking energy.

I specialize in eye-catching floral design for brand activations, corporate events, editorial shoots, weddings, and creative workshops. Whether it’s bringing a product launch to life or adding soul to a ceremony, I’m ready to to climb up ladders for tropical installations, or prep the flower confetti to mark the occasion.

Brace yourself, this is the paragraph where I brag. I’ve had the privilege of designing floral work for brands like: Netflix, Marc Jacobs, Volvo, Activia, Bridgerton, Balenciaga, Prada…and I even flew to Palm Springs to design a keynote stage piece. Occasionally, I show my skills on national TV too. I know, I know, what is my life?! I still pinch myself!

And I’ve created installations for intimate weddings, community events, creative studios, and national campaigns — always with the same level of care and creative energy.

Whether it's a branded pop-up, a team offsite, or a moody tablescape for two, I bring fresh ideas and floral storytelling that leaves a lasting impression.

From  Building Community to Floral Artistry

Back in 2017, I opened Make Lemonade as coworking space for creative women who wanted to get sh*t done without the usual corporate nonsense. Over the years, it became a joyful hub for hundreds of entrepreneurs, artists, and dreamers. And then... well, you know. The world shifted. So did I.

With a fine arts degree in my back pocket, and a need to create, I enrolled in Floristry School expand my skills. After that, I was completely hooked on flowers.

Today, Make Lemonade has blossomed into a floral design studio crafting immersive floral experiences for some of the world’s most recognizable brands — and heartfelt personal milestones.

If you're looking for a Toronto florist who blends artistry and strategy into every petal, you’re in the right place.💖
