Traditional funeral flowers include lilies, roses, chrysanthemums, carnations, and gladioli. White and ivory arrangements convey peace and respect, while soft pink, lavender, and yellow tones celebrate the life that was lived. At Goleto Florist we hand-arrange standing sprays, casket sprays, sympathy baskets, and wreaths in all of these styles.

Funeral flowers are typically sent to the funeral home or the service itself — large, formal arrangements designed to be seen during the ceremony. Sympathy flowers are sent to the family's home, work, or hospital — smaller, more personal arrangements meant to provide ongoing comfort in the days and weeks following the loss.

We recommend booking your wedding florist 6 to 9 months in advance, particularly for peak season (May to October). For smaller weddings or last-minute orders, Goleto Florist can often accommodate weddings booked 4 to 6 weeks out.

Bridal bouquets, bridesmaid bouquets, boutonnieres, mother and grandmother corsages, ceremony arrangements (altar pieces, aisle markers, arch florals), reception centrepieces, head-table installations, and cake florals — all matched to your colour palette and season.

Wedding floral budgets typically range from $1,500 to $10,000+, depending on the size of the wedding party, the style of arrangements, and the venue setup. A modest wedding generally falls in the $2,000–$3,500 range. Luxury installations can run $7,000–$15,000.

Some flowers — peonies, sweet peas, garden roses — are highly seasonal. If your first-choice variety is unavailable, we propose a comparable substitute matching your colour and style. We never substitute without your knowledge.

Yes. Goleto Florist handles full delivery and on-site setup across Richmond Hill, Vaughan, Markham, Thornhill, Aurora, Maple, North York, Toronto, and the GTA — including arches and hanging florals.

White and ivory arrangements remain the most traditional and respectful choice. Soft pastels — lavender, blush, cream — also signal warmth. Brighter celebration-of-life arrangements (yellows, peaches, corals) are increasingly popular when the deceased's personality was joyful.

Both are appropriate. Sending to the family's home gives them an arrangement to enjoy during the difficult weeks following a loss. Sending to the funeral home is a more public tribute. Many people send both. Goleto Florist delivers same-day to both.

Sympathy bouquets at Goleto Florist start at $89 for smaller arrangements, $130–$200 for mid-size sympathy baskets, and $230–$450 for larger sympathy designs.
