Mostly Roses

Since he was a little boy, all Claudio Siciliano wanted to do was be the one who made all the gorgeous decorations he saw at weddings. The owner of Nature’s Roses Bouquet, Woodbridge’s premier floral shop, describes his boyhood dream of wanting “to be in the wedding and flower décor business.” With a strong artistic drive, he says from a very early age he just knew that it was “decorations of the home” that were his purpose in life. “I always said, ‘Oh, I’d like to do this for a living one day,’” he recalls. And so, he took the necessary steps to make his dream come true.

Claudio started off his floral business in downtown Toronto, but moved shop to Woodbridge because of the higher concentration of weddings. The suburb has many Italians and weddings, both of which made him feel like he had finally come home. And since he made the move to Woodbridge, Claudio’s been living his childhood dream exactly how he imagined: designing stunning floral creations for every occasion.
