“There are a lot of decisions that go into a wedding day – some easy, while others are quite challenging. The decision to book Leah to arrange our florals for our wedding day was one of the easiest and best decisions we made.
She took an abstract vision we had in mind, and created arrangements that completely exceeded our expectations! She incorporated flowers and plants we never would have imagined, and it came together beautifully.
We can't express into words how much thought and kindness Leah puts into her work. She's one of a kind, and a true delight to work with. Thank you, Leah!

“Leah’s ability to weave together some pretty varied elements we wanted (mangoes! oysters! marigolds!) was truly impressive. she made everything flow really cohesively.
each and every detail was thoughtful and intentional – and naturally so. Leah’s floral creations added absolute magic to our celebration of love and community.
we’re forever grateful for her incomparable talents!”
—Meag & Alex
" I’ve always loved Leah’s bouquets and style, so when I saw she was offering garden consultations I knew her talents and way of understanding the natural world would help me transform the garden beds at our new home.
As a busy mom of 3, I love gardening but do not have the time or expertise to navigate this project. Leah listened carefully and created a plan full of textures, native species, and seamlessly incorporated the existing elements. She provided an easy to follow guide with different options and descriptions for what each plant needed for fall and spring care.
She was so thoughtful to incorporate aspects of the gardens just for the kids. Her support has transformed the space into a place of wonder and awe for the whole family."
—Zsofia & Ross
"We have admired Homebody Floral’s work for many years and were so happy to have her for our wedding day.
Leah was so kind and patient during the planning process. We left a lot of creative freedom up to her as we trusted she would be able to give us beautiful arrangements and she did! My bridal bouquet was stunning as well as all the other arrangements. She really captured the essence of the day. We received so many compliments and people asking who did our florals.
Leah was timely, professional, and we highly recommend her! "
—Kayla & Josh
"What truly captivated us was Leah’s meticulous attention to detail and her evident passion for her craft.
Her ability to blend romantic and whimsical elements was nothing short of enchanting. The incorporation of florals and dark fruit, beautifully contrasted with antique silver vessels, created a captivating aesthetic that left a lasting impression for our guests.”
—Sheila & Stephen
" It was so lovely to collaborate with Leah and use local flowers
She really caputred the seasonal and natural look we wanted. My husband and I are gardeners as well so it was really fun to chat all things floral and it was truly a joy to work with her and see our floral vison come to life! She was so accomodating and helpful on the day of the wedding - she even wrapped my grandmother's hankerchief around my bouquet, which was a nice sentimental touch.
We will be forever grateful for her talent and kindness.”
—Kathleen & Ryan
“I found Leah via Instagram, through a mutual friend. I immediately fell in love with her style, the way she used local flowers, and how she arranges soft and effortless bouquets. What sealed the deal for me was the use of mushrooms within flower arrangements.
With the whole non-traditional wedding theme we were going for (and truly my obsession with mushrooms in general), I thought her style really reflected what I had in mind.
Before chatting with Leah, met with 4 florists who wanted exact photos of arrangements for inspiration, colour palettes, and specific flowers we wanted them to use. We left those calls feeling so overwhelmed. With Leah, it was super easy, I described a general idea of the vibe I was shooting for, and she really delivered beyond anything we could have ever envisioned. I got a lot of compliments day-off, and I dream of the day I can have another one of her beautiful arrangements in my home.”
—Mariane & Stephane
“It was particularly important to us that each element of our special day was chosen intentionally and thoughtfully, and created with immense love. Leah and her florals fit this requirement perfectly.
Each step of the way, Leah was open and responsive to all of our thoughts and inspirations. At the same time, she was wonderfully willing to share her own ideas, allowing us to bring to life the most beautiful moody, Autumnal, fig-filled shared vision possible. The care with which Leah chose each of our stunning, and locally grown (!), blooms, was astonishing. The flowers flourished all through the night, and lasted for weeks after. Similarly, the arrangements, bouquets, and boutonnieres were talked about all night, and for many months beyond!
We could not have asked for a better vendor experience. If you are looking for a whimsical, creative, wild, heartfelt, entirely inspiring floral experience, that is fondly remembered long after your event, you MUST work with Leah and Homebody Floral co. Leah’s eye for design, taste for texture, and sense of spacing makes her florals feel like art pieces in themselves. Not to mention - her lovely, flexible, and fun personality, made the entire process as smooth as freshly churned butter, and as sweet as pie!”
— Chris & Mackenzie
“We went with Leah to do our wedding florals, and we are so incredibly happy with how they turned out.
We had so much fun working with Leah and would recommend her work to anyone. The flowers were nothing short of perfection and she went above and beyond what we had even imagined. The bridal bouquet was perfectly crafted and the boutonnière even included some lovely Irish touches! We will forever and always be back for all of our floral needs!”
— Matthew & Mackenzie
“We had a wonderful experience with Homebody Floral. Leah designed a custom solution to make our wedding backdrop look fantastic and we really appreciated that extra effort. We received a lot of compliments on the flowers and couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. Leah’s passion for her work shines through from start to finish.
— Chris & Natalia
“I got SO many compliments on the flowers and especially my flower crown. It totally surpassed my expectations - I had plans to only wear it for the ceremony, but it was so cute that I didn't take it off all night!”
I loved how the flowers were all different and wild but still so cohesive. I feel like Leah took all the ideas I had in my head and made them totally come to life!
— Ellie & Cyle
“Working with Leah for our wedding was a dream. We followed her craft for years, so when we got engaged, we knew immediately that we wanted her to be our florist.”
When we first contacted Leah, she was bright and excited, which set us on the right path. Communication with Leah was clear, easy, and thoughtful. We gave her our inspiration and themes, fully trusting that she would bring our vision to life. It was enthralling that we didn’t have to give specific requests about varietals because it meant that our wedding day creations were a true surprise.
On the big day, we were thrilled and delighted with the installation, bouquets, and smaller arrangements Leah created. They all felt true to us, our vision, the season, and our local environment. We love that Leah takes inspiration and materials from her surroundings, which brings authenticity and connection to her creations. Now, whenever we look at our wedding photos, we will reflect on this special connection and these beautiful florals.

“Leah, you made my sister's organic and natural wildflower wedding dream come to life.”
Your eye for detail and delicate touch was exactly what we were hoping for. You listened to my thoughts and yet you are a great reminder that when you let an artist do her work without tight limitation, you get the most magical results. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for being a part of this special day with our family.
— Michelle
“I instantly knew Leah was going to make all of my floral dreams come true! Our vision was a night of casual elegance with romantic elements woven throughout the space.”
Leah took our vision and designed a floral plan that incorporated a looser, more natural style with muted tones and trailing foliage that complimented our garden wedding perfectly. The gazebo was framed with oversize arrangements that were later repurposed to the reception. The hanging installation was the statement piece of the reception, which took cues from the environment and brought a light-pillowy feel to the space. Leah was an absolute dream to work with! She is down to earth, humble, and her unique aesthetic made the day better than I could have imagined.
— Liana and David
“Leah’s intuition is unparalleled.”
Communicating ideas with her feels easy and natural. Her aesthetic sense is top tier - but it is the ease at which she understands what you have in mind and the quality of communication that makes each project I work with her feel special and unique. It is rare to find in a collaborator, and it is one of a hundred reasons why I jump at the opportunity to work with Leah every time.
— Gary Franks Ottawa Legend
“With so many decisions to make for our wedding, choosing Leah for her knowledge and creativity of florals was one of the best. She listened and encouraged my vision for our day and offered many helpful suggestions.”
My floral crown, bouquets, and boutonnieres were incredibly beautiful. Leah went above and beyond with our out of town ceremony in Wakefield. She competently handled the set up as well as the return to the reception of our floral hoops, bouquets, and other decors. I would wholeheartedly recommend Leah to everyone who is looking for florals to enhance their celebration.
— Carly and Neil
“Leah was an absolute dream to work with!
In every conversation, you could tell she's not only incredibly knowledgeable but also super passionate about everything flowers. She took our vision and ran with it, delivering a farmers market + wildflower dreamscape that was a perfect backdrop for our big day. We recommend Leah to anyone and everyone!”.
— Katie and Jason
“Leah is absolutely incredible at what she does - she is truly a flower genius.”
It's actually pretty amazing that after only a few short conversations she was able to take fragments of ideas I had and turn them into a beautiful and wonderful vision. The flowers she put together were everything I wanted and more, they had the perfect whimsical wildflower look and yet you just knew everything about the arrangements were intentional. You could just tell she put a lot of thought and care into every choice. I also loved that she was able to source everything locally and seemed to be connected to so many other amazing women who work with and grow beautiful flowers - so it's not just her you're supporting but a wonderful community of amazing businesses. To top it all off, Leah is fun to work with and so kind, I couldn't possibly recommend her enough.
— Andra and Liam
“Leah surpassed all of our expectations as our wedding florist.”
All I told her was my colour palette and the style I was going for, and she absolutely nailed it. My wedding bouquet was more beautiful than anything I could’ve imagined. I received SO many compliments on the flowers that night. You cannot go wrong with Leah as your florist, she is fantastic at what she does.
— Kendra and J
“Leah was such an incredible vendor to work with for our wedding, she was so responsive and organized it made coordinating with her such a breeze which was one less thing to stress about as I knew we were in such good hands.
I sent her some Pinterest board photos of a colour scheme and what I had in mind, and what was delivered on the day of our wedding was so incredibly stunning and exceeded all of our expectations. I kept the hair fasteners and boutonniere as dried floral sentiments. I can't recommend Leah enough to make your wedding floral dreams come true!”
