About Calyx Floral Design
Calyx Floral Design is an internationally published floral design team based in Red Deer, Alberta. Owner and principal designer Travis Mills began her career as a 14-year-old student working part-time in a flower shop and it bloomed from there! She went on to get her degree in botany, but her true passion was design.
The name Calyx Floral Design is inspired by her background in botany. Calyx is a botanical term for the protective layer around the petals of a flower.
From working at Thomas Hobbs Florist in Vancouver to opening her own floral studio in 2007; Travis has continually surprised people around her with amazing creativity, style and attention to detail. Never afraid to push boundaries or break floral rules, her desire is to create the most astonishing flowers for her clients and delivering beyond their expectations.
Calyx Floral Design has evolved into a full floral studio with a team of creative designers specializing in weddings and events. A range of services are offered, from custom floral design, build-a-bouquet packages, floral workshops, seasonal designs, outdoor décor and special arrangements perfect for a loved one.
Travis and her team are passionate about what they do, from lavish over-the-top tablescapes to adorable floral crowns and jawdropping bouquets. The work of Calyx Floral Design has been published in Junebug Weddings, Style Me Pretty, Blush Magazine, Weddingbells Magazine, Rustic Wedding Chic, Rocky Mountain Bride and more!

Wanna know a secret? 🤫 Although I am a floral designer and certified plant enthusiast (okay, borderline obsessed, let's be real 😂) I don't...⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
have many indoor plants 🤷🏻♀️ Most people think the interior of my 🏠 would match my boutique space: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
〰️overflowing with jungle-like vibes and filled with cascading greenery🌿 but I find that most indoor plants need a lot of attention!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And since I've got a whole lotta’ flower friends to nurture in-store 🌸🌱🌿...⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I really gravitate to houseplants that are low maintenance. Like this darling POTHOS beauty🌱⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👉A few more of my personal favs include: snake plants and monstera. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do you have a fav type of houseplant?! I'd love to know in the comments below 👇👇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Micro-weddings are officially the coolest thing happening this summer 💍 Are you planning a "minimony" and want it to be spectacular!?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We can help 🙌 More is not always necessarily 'more' and a micro-wedding is the perfect way to really focus on the details and the things that matter.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Oh Haaaaaay (yeah, I went there😉🐴) Here are 3 common flower mistakes your florist (that's ME!!) wants you to know:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And this one's a saver 👆👆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
❌Don't hold your wedding bouquet too high! Make sure your arms are relaxed and elbows slightly bent. Hold it gently angled towards your guests so they can see every lovely detail of your beautiful bouquet.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
❌Choosing florals without first choosing your venue (this one goes for other events, too!) A lot of your major design elements will be dictated by your venue's color, style, linens, seating etc. You'll want every piece to align nicely, flowers included.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
❌Being stuck on flower colours. You might have a set palette, but not know about all the cool, rare blooms that happen during the season of your wedding. Being flexible with your floral choices will help you get the best flowers possible for your big day.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✔️What else do you want to know about wedding day flowers? Maybe you want to book a consultation to find out which blooms are best for you?!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
〰️My private consultation room will be back open and ready for brides in two weeks!🤍⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Visit my website and fill out the pre-consultation form to get started. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Happy Friday, babes ✨⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Never met an archway I didn't like...especially this one. Chance & Crystal's wedding was a fairy-tale and a 'must share'. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
(Planning your wedding? Don't forget to save this one for later 😁👆)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Looking for a way to add some extra 'pop' to your space? 🌿The plants I got in this week are AMAZING!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Come say "hi" 👋 and pick my brain on which houseplant is best for you! I love talking plants and am over-the-moon to have the boutique doors OPEN once more to chat in person.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Holy smokes, I've missed you guys!!!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And we're doing everything possible to keep you safe during your boutique visit 😘⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Open today 11 am- 7 pm if you need to get out of the house and get your plant fix!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
