Props Floral Design was founded in 1997 on Granville Street in downtown Halifax by sisters Susan MacIntosh and Dawn MacFadden. The duo established the shop after outgrowing their floral business at the Halifax Farmers' Market. Susan and Dawn's niece, Ashley MacNeill, began working at the shop in 2003 and quickly became a key member of the design team. Props created buzz throughout the city with their creative floral design and unique workshops, such as Chic Night at the Halifax Club. They've been profiled by local and national event and design publications. In 2013, the shop relocated to the beautiful Hydrostone Market. An integral part of the Props team for over 20 years now, Ashley has taken over the shop as owner and head designer. When asked about Ashley, her aunt Susan expressed that she is “naturally talented with a great eye for detail and design.” While her time in the floral industry has lent to her mastery, she possesses that rare "magic eye" that brings any floral vision to life. Whether creating a vibrant centerpiece for a dinner table or designing florals for a large-scale wedding, Ashley infuses knowledge, care, and creativity into every project. In 2023, she traveled to Holland, where she earned a floral arranging certification from the renowned Boerma Institute. When she's not working at the shop, Ashley can be found spending time with her two charming sons.
