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!

3️⃣ EASY ways to create a MINIMALIST wedding that will make Pinterest jealous...⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1️⃣ Keep your colours neutral + tonal. White is classic because it compliments everything, without distracting.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2️⃣Simplify your ceremony. Choose one main focal point (like this gorgeous metal arch) and make it POP.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3️⃣Set the mood with soft layers. Light pinks, whites with subtle hits of greenery are all you need to create romance in a room.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

The one thing I was NOT asked at my first floral job interview🤭🌸...⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
"Hey, Travis: how are you with heights?!"⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The good news is, I'm totally cool with them! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And that's a dang good thing, 'cause I've been on my fair share of ladders since diving into botany at the tender age of 14.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And I'll let you in, on one more truth...⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I secretly LOVE the installation process before a wedding or styled shoot. Everything's quiet, I'm focused and in my happy place, doing what I enjoy most: making things pretty with petals 🌸⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So if you're planning a wedding and hate heights, you know who to call 😉 thanks to my bestie @lindsaynickelphotography for capturing this BTS shot at @thetinroofeventcenter 🙌 ...
