'Love In Bloom follows Amelia Hart (Susie Abromeit), a successful Chicago florist with a seemingly perfect life, including a boyfriend who is definitely about to propose. When her soon-to-be-married little sister (Melina Vidler – 800 Words, Kidnapped) and fiancé become marooned at a mountain retreat days before their wedding, Amelia and the best man, Grayson Tanner (Julian Haig – Riverdale, Retrograde), are tasked with stepping in to save the wedding.

'Despite getting off on the wrong foot, Amelia and Grayson prove to be a dynamic team. With the help of the townspeople, Amelia and Grayson prepare for the wedding to be held in the town’s beautiful Hummingbird Gardens. As they get closer to the big day, Amelia realises her life back in the city isn’t as perfect as she once thought, and she begins to see more colour and life in the small town and its people than in her favourite bustling city of Chicago. The longer she spends in Primrose River, and with Grayson, the more she questions where she really belongs.'
