Riverwood Gardens
Over 15 years of wedding floral design combining garden-grown and foraged blooms with international artistry and attention to texture.
About
Riverwood Gardens is a family-run florist based on a heritage farmstead in the Ottawa Valley, owned and led by Amber Tiede. With over 15 years of dedicated expertise and mentorship under florists like Jane Packer, alongside experience working in Denmark and England, Amber brings a distinctive approach to wedding florals. The studio sources flowers from their own two acres of meticulously tended gardens as well as beyond, incorporating foraged elements and naturally raised blooms.
The team creates everything from bridal bouquets and ceremony arches to centerpieces and installations. Clients praise their ability to take a vision and execute it with creativity and precision. Whether you're after full-service design with on-site setup or an a la carte selection for self-arrangement, Riverwood adapts to your needs and budget. The business serves the Ottawa area and broader region, with a studio 30 minutes south of downtown Ottawa in Osgoode.
