Raised in the woods

Before flowers were her job, they were her playground. Angelica Arbic grew up on Vancouver Island and spent much of her childhood in the wilderness, foraging and learning about native plants and mushrooms, her shop's website says.

Then came a long run in hospitality. She opened restaurants, trained sales teams and managed corporate events and weddings. She earned her floral design certification at the University of the Fraser Valley in 2020 and 2021.

A women-led shop in Aldergrove

The Aldergrove Star called Styled by Wild a women-led floral shop when it profiled local gift makers in December 2025. Arbic told the paper her mission had stayed the same since the beginning: “To uplift, inspire, and create a beautiful world.”

She brings in fresh flowers every week from an Aldergrove floral distributor. “All the flowers are properly processed and designed,” she said. Customers often tell her the arrangements last up to two weeks longer, the Star reported.

Whoville trees and wreath nights

Last holiday season her specials included Whoville trees made in thrifted mugs. Wreaths and festive centrepieces were on the list as well. She also runs workshops, so watch the website for dates.

The shop gives back where it can. Arbic told the Star she sources candles from other local businesses and reuses materials to keep the store's footprint down.

Weddings, sympathy and same-day bouquets

Weddings are a big part of the work, which makes sense given her events background. So are sympathy flowers and everyday bouquets, with hand-tied options starting at $64.99 on the site.

In 2026 the Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce named Styled by Wild a finalist for Small Business of the Year. Call 604-816-7085 or order on the website.
