Shangrila Flower Farm

Some couples want flowers at their wedding. Others want to be married inside the flowers themselves.

Shangrila Maple Ridge is a private 10-acre flower garden on Rolley Road in Maple Ridge, British Columbia, where dahlias, hydrangeas and phlox set the colour for the day.

The garden grows more than 100 dahlia varieties, around 30 hydrangea varieties and 15 varieties of phlox, along with many other flowers and five varieties of grapes. Feature gardens, a pond, trees and wide green land give the property plenty of room to wander.

It is an outdoor venue with a great deal of space for wedding ceremonies, receptions and other special events, so vows and celebration can happen in the same setting.

The venue accommodates anywhere from around 20 to 150 guests, which suits everything from a small garden wedding to a fuller celebration with family and friends.

Packages are customizable, and the team offers wedding planning, design and suggestions. Services include full setup and cleanup of the venue's equipment, a wedding arch, rectangular tables, white resin garden folding chairs, a clothed cake table with cake knife, personalized printed menus for choice entrées and light wedding design.

Outdoor activities are also available to keep guests entertained, giving the day an easy, garden-party rhythm between the ceremony and the evening.

For couples who picture exchanging vows among rows of blooms with everything set up and cleared away for them, Shangrila Maple Ridge offers a flower-filled outdoor celebration in Maple Ridge.
