Our StoryAstilbe
Astilbe is also a beautiful story about friendship. The co-owners Marie-�ve and Melanie met in the autumn of 2010 as colleagues and lead designers at a renowned florist in Westmount. There were so many fun years of collaborating on many large scale projects and international events.
After many long hours of creation, stories-told, dancing, and non-stop contagious laughter, a strong bond was formed. They quickly developed a love and shared vision for the world of floristry. In 2015 they began to dream up a project that reflected their values and philosophy, and so Astilbe was born.
Florist + Co-OwnerMelanie
Crazy about the great outdoors, Melanie discovered her love of nature at a young age. Since 2002, she has worked in garden centers, alongside landscapers, and then florists, with whom she found her passion and inspiration. When she isn't climbing or hiking a mountain, she is dancing to Motown and arranging exquisite flowers. Melanie loves to work with anything that grows in her garden, succulent plants, rocks, ranunculus and a touch of glitter!

Florist + Co-OwnerMarie-�ve
Curious and creative, it was by chance that Marie-�ve discovered her passion for flowers. With her studies at l'�cole des m�tiers d'Horticulture de Montr�al, and her experience working for various florists in Montreal, she developed her own technique and style. Marie likes to create hand-tied bouquets while listening to pop music and making beautiful bows with velvet ribbons . She adores ferns, monochromatic color palettes, parrot tulips and the smell of fresh mimosa.
