Last reviewed: August 12, 2026. Riverwood Gardens is an Ottawa wedding florist based in Osgoode, Ontario. Its current official website presents wedding design and floral artistry alongside a choice between A La Carte wedding flowers and a fuller, consultation-led service.

The studio is appointment only rather than a walk-in retail shop. Couples can use the published contact route to ask about a wedding, while those considering the A La Carte collection can review the online selection and its ordering requirements. This profile reflects information published on Riverwood Gardens’ own website at the review date.

Services and specialization

Riverwood Gardens publishes two distinct wedding routes. The A La Carte option is designed for couples selecting individual floral items and providing a colour palette. Orders can be placed online, and the business says this option can be customized to the selected combination. The published service is intended for events such as city-hall weddings, cocktail celebrations and backyard receptions, although couples should choose it based on the actual scope they need rather than event type alone.

Its full-service option includes an initial consultation by video or phone, a design proposal, delivery and day-of setup. Riverwood Gardens identifies Amber as lead designer for this work and says full-service projects may include rentals such as vases, candles and arches. The official site also describes wedding work that ranges from bouquets to ceremony arches, but a specific design, item list and rental availability must be confirmed directly for each booking.

Service area and who it may suit

The studio is at 5647 Dalmeny Road in Osgoode. Its pricing page identifies the location as roughly 30 minutes south of downtown Ottawa and says A La Carte pickup is available there. Riverwood Gardens states that A La Carte delivery spans the Ottawa area, while its FAQ describes wedding-floral service across Ottawa and the surrounding Ottawa Valley.

The A La Carte route may suit couples who are comfortable collecting or receiving prepared pieces and arranging them at the venue themselves: the business expressly says its designers do not attend on site for that option. Full service may better fit couples who want a consultation, design proposal and on-site setup. Neither statement confirms service to every community in the region, so delivery distance and any travel-related charges should be checked before booking.

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

A documented strength is the clear separation between the two service models. Couples can compare a self-managed A La Carte order with a full-service plan that includes consultation, proposal, delivery and setup. The business also publishes that it can work with colour preferences and inspiration images, while noting that flower availability changes with the season.

The practical limitation is that specific flower types cannot be guaranteed. Riverwood Gardens says it will consider favourites and exclusions, but seasonal availability governs what can be supplied. A La Carte orders require at least 10 days’ notice, are limited in weekly volume, and do not include setup. The official site does not publish a complete catalogue of every wedding item, delivery zone, rental condition or event date it can accept, so those details need confirmation.

Pricing

Current pricing is explicitly published as starting budgets. Riverwood Gardens lists A La Carte weddings from $350 and full-service weddings from $3,000. These are starting points, not an all-inclusive quote for a particular wedding. The full-service offering is described as individually tailored, so the final scope can vary with the design, items, rentals, delivery and setup needs.

The business says the listed A La Carte vase price includes the vase cost and that returning it within seven days after an event results in a 5% refund. Couples should request a written quote covering their selected items, taxes, delivery, rentals, setup, payment schedule and any applicable fees before paying a deposit.

Contact and booking

Riverwood Gardens publishes 613 869-5477 and office@riverwoodgardens.ca as its contact details. Its website also provides a contact route, and the FAQ says studio visits are by appointment. For a full-service wedding, the business advises prospective clients to get in touch to schedule a consultation; it states that both in-person and virtual consultations are available.

For A La Carte weddings, the official site directs clients to place orders online and says payment confirms the order. For full-service work, Riverwood Gardens says a deposit is required to secure the date, with the balance due closer to the wedding. The site’s wording should not be taken as a confirmation of current availability; ask the business to confirm the date, response time and payment terms in writing.

What couples should confirm

Start by confirming which service route matches the wedding: A La Carte prepared flowers or full-service design and setup. Ask whether the wedding date is available, whether the venue falls within the delivery area, what delivery and setup involve, and whether rental items are available for the required date. If requesting A La Carte flowers, confirm who will unpack and place each piece at the venue.

Share a realistic item list, colour direction, inspiration images and any flowers to avoid. Because the business cannot promise particular blooms, ask how seasonal substitutions will be handled. Before committing, request the final written scope, total price, taxes, delivery or travel charges, rental terms, payment schedule, cancellation or change terms, and the deadline for additions or adjustments.
