Our Inspiration
Inspired by the protea—a symbol of strength, transformation, and enduring beauty—Protea Floral Studio was founded in Ottawa to tell stories through flowers.
Each stem is chosen with intention, each arrangement crafted with emotion and movement, creating botanical art for those with bold hearts.
Rooted in the wild elegance of proteas and tropical blooms, our signature style embraces unapologetic textures, sculptural contrasts, and unforgettable as the blooms themselves.
Meet the Founder
I’m María, the heart and hands behind Protea Floral Studio.
This space is both my craft and my story—a journey of blooming boldly in new soil. Rooted in my Mexican heritage, shaped by art, and inspired by vibrant colors and untamed textures, I create designs that embody beauty, simplicity, and transformation.
Each arrangement is an extension of that vision—floral art made with intention.
As an immigrant woman and survivor of abuse, this studio is also part of my healing.
That’s why a portion of our work supports Immigrant Women Services Ottawa, helping women and children rebuild their lives and rise into new beginnings.
