Nineteen Melrose Flower Studio is now Melrose Flower Lab, a wedding and event floral-design business. Its official website says that Tanya Sitalo became owner of the rebranded business in summer 2024, following Marilyn Ruyter’s long-running studio. For couples searching for an Innisfil wedding florist, this page preserves the former name while directing enquiries to the confirmed current website.

The business focuses on flowers for weddings and events rather than a general retail-flower-shop model. Melrose Flower Lab describes a consultation-led process in which the team learns about a couple’s vision, then prepares an estimate and, once confirmed, a visual proposal. Last reviewed: August 9, 2026.

Current identity and background

The official Melrose Flower Lab website directly connects this listing to the current business. It says Marilyn Ruyter and her sister began their floral journey in 1999, that Marilyn later developed Nineteen Melrose Flower Studio for wedding and party work, and that Tanya Sitalo became owner when the business was rebranded in 2024.

That documented continuity supports updating this existing company page rather than treating the names as unrelated businesses. The current public-facing name is Melrose Flower Lab; Nineteen Melrose Flower Studio remains useful as the former name that couples may see in older venue lists, photographs, or planning notes.

Services and specialization

Wedding floral design is a confirmed core service. The official site also lists flowers for baby showers, bridal showers, birthdays, mitzvahs, workshops, corporate events and seasonal holidays, but wedding planning is the most relevant service for this directory listing.

For weddings, the published process begins with an in-depth online consultation. The site says the discussion explores the couple’s vision and can lead to an estimate that allocates budget between flowers and décor items. After confirmation, the team prepares a mood board that may incorporate colour palette, flower selections, vase styles and other shared ideas. This is evidence of a custom design-planning process; it is not evidence that any particular flower, rental, installation, delivery or set-up service is included in every booking.

Service area and who it may suit

The official materials establish an Ontario wedding-and-event floral business, but they do not publish a clear current delivery radius or a list of cities served. Its current official-site contact information also appears inconsistent across recent official-page captures: supplied first-party evidence shows an Innisfil address, while indexed official pages show a Barrie address. For that reason, no location is published in the address field above.

This business may suit couples who want to begin remotely with a detailed consultation and develop a coordinated floral concept before receiving an estimate. Couples planning outside the immediate area should ask whether their venue is within the current service area, whether travel is available, and whether site-specific logistics can be accommodated.

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

A confirmed feature is the continuity of experience behind the rebrand: the official history traces the work from Flowers & Sense in 1999, through Nineteen Melrose Flower Studio, to Melrose Flower Lab under Tanya Sitalo. Another documented feature is the structured wedding workflow: consultation, estimate, and a visual proposal informed by the couple’s palette, flower choices and styling ideas.

The practical limitation is that current address and phone details are not consistent across the official-site material available for review. The official site supplies a booking route, but couples should verify the correct location, phone number, availability, delivery radius, staffing and day-of logistics directly before making plans. No claims about reviews, awards, package inclusions, availability or preferred venues are made here because those points are not established by the confirmed official sources.

Pricing

Current pricing is not explicitly published. The official wedding page says an estimate is prepared after the initial consultation and after the team has discussed the design direction and budget allocation for flowers and décor items.

Request a written estimate that identifies the scope of florals and décor, the number and type of arrangements, any delivery or on-site work, applicable taxes, payment schedule, change deadlines and cancellation terms. These are items to confirm, not published inclusions or charges.

Contact and booking

Use the consultation or contact form at the official Melrose Flower Lab website to start an enquiry. The wedding page describes the first meeting as an online consultation, and the contact page says the business aims to respond within 24 hours when it cannot answer immediately.

Because the official materials available for this review contain conflicting contact details, this profile intentionally does not repeat an address or phone number. Refer to the current official contact page when enquiring and confirm the preferred contact method, consultation timing and the correct studio or meeting location.

What couples should confirm

Before booking, share the wedding date, venue location, guest count or room plan, desired floral priorities, colour direction and reference images. Ask whether the date is available and whether the team can provide the specific scope you need.

Also confirm the current business name for contracts and invoices, the exact address and contact number, the service area, the final estimate, responsibilities for delivery or installation, rental terms if relevant, and the schedule for approvals and final design changes. This is especially important during a documented business transition and rebrand.
