Whether it’s a birthday, anniversary or ‘just because’ flowers make the best gift. But choosing the right florist can be tricky.
Whether you’re looking for a fresh bouquet or a dried creation, these Auckland florists are sure to delight. From sorbet tones to a range of giftware, they’re bound to have something special for you or your loved ones.
Blush Flowers
If you’re planning to wow your S/O with a big, romantic bouquet this Valentine’s Day, make sure to order from one of Auckland’s best florists. They specialise in unique floral compositions and even offer a range of bespoke bouquet options for weddings and other special events.
Kelly Karam’s modern, fresh designs and savvy branding have made her a go-to bloom wrangler for Auckland fashion retailers and a favourite amongst the Instagram set. Her gorgeous boutique in Parnell is a delight to visit, with a curated selection of gifts that make the perfect complement to her bespoke floral creations.
True inner-city Jafas will adore Ponsonby’s Nina for Flowers, which boasts a dreamy selection of flower arrangements with an emphasis on colour and height. This floral studio also offers a flower subscription service, delivering a market-fresh bouquet straight to your door.
Istoria
Whether you’re in the market for a big romantic gesture or a little something to brighten up your home, Istoria is a great spot for floral delivery in Auckland. This Jervois Road gem is the place to go for silky ribbons, dreamy tulle and oh-so-pretty posies. You can choose a one-off bouquet or sign up to their regular flower subscription for a fresh-from-the-garden delivery to your loved one’s door.
True inner-city Jafas will love the sorbet tones, light and soft schemes and oh-so-romantic palettes at this Ponsonby florist. If you’re going all out, opt for their ‘designer’s choice’ option, where you simply choose the colour palette before they do the rest. Or, for even more of a splurge, treat yourself to their curated giftware selection.
The Flower Delivery Company
If you’re after a fresh, romantic bouquet, look no further than this 100% New Zealand owned florist and gift store. You can order online or pop into their Parnell boutique (which is generously open from 7.30-8pm during the week) to browse a curated selection of bloom bags, boxes and bouquets. Choose from classic picks like the ‘Love Actually’ bouquet of 12 fiery roses, or opt for their ‘Florist’s Choice’ to be surprised with a heavenly mix of ‘Beautiful’, ‘Sumptuous’ or ‘Extravagant’ sized arrangements.
They also have dried floral creations if you’re after something that lasts a little longer. Perfect for wedding gifts, birthdays and anniversaries, or even just to add a touch of beauty and fragrance to your home.
The Botanist
Half cafe, half florist this city centre pop-up has got a unique point of difference. Located in an old underground car park – its internal pillars still bear scrawled warnings that cameras operate here – the place makes a virtue of what could be a claustrophobic bunker by cladding its interior with pale wood and bright colours.
The team specialise in contemporary floral arrangements that strike a fine balance between art and bouquet. Choose from a range of seasonal posies, bunches and bouquets that will suit birthdays, anniversaries, thank you gifts or just general home and office decoration. Alternatively, they offer a ‘home flower bundle’ subscription that will keep your workspace looking fresh and inviting. You can also find a wide selection of candles, decor and vases to add a little whimsy to your bouquet.
Wandering Willow
Unless you’ve been hiding under a flora-free rock for your entire Auckland life, chances are you have come across the Jervois Road gem that is La Femme Fleur. Their ‘designer’s choice’ bouquet (or regular subscription) is a riot of colours and textures that look like they’ve dropped straight out of an Old Masters still life.
If you’re after a more rustic, on-trend bohemian floral arrangement, Yuki from Wandering Willow creates dreamy creative dried floral pieces and wreaths that have made this florist one of the top rated Auckland flower delivery services. Their on-trend botanical creations are the perfect way to add a splash of colour or texture to a room. You can even send them as a gift for that special someone.
