Flori Flowers — Local services in Maungakiekie-Tāmaki

Rio and Floyd from Flori were a delight to handle our wedding from beginning to end. We first met them at the Castaways open day and from the start we had ongoing communication with them.

We organised a meeting at their workshop so that they could better understand our concept and what we wanted. They had a list of deliverables which we could choose from. They also had a look at the inspo pictures we had and discussed with us what flowers might work during when our wedding was and they also gave us an estimation of how much different flowers would cost at that time. With other florists we never got as much detail as we did with Flori. After our meeting we knew that Flori was the right florist for our wedding. With other florists we felt that they really wanted to impart what they thought we wanted instead of what we actually wanted. I don't know how many times we told florists in our brief that we DIDN'T want white flowers and how many came back with white flowers in their presentation to us.

Ivan and I moved to Germany shortly after the meeting but contact with them stayed consistent. Usually they responded within the week. With any changes we made they were responsive and understood our changes. This is probably the most important thing that any couple needs leading up to their big day!

When we came back to NZ for a visit we organised a meeting with them at the venue grounds to discuss what our vision was for our wedding. We found it super amazing that they accommodated our meeting and were able to meet with us to discuss what we wanted. I highly doubt that many other florists would come out to the venues months ahead just to discuss the aesthetics of the wedding!

We asked them for the wedding bouquets, button holes, corsages, ceremony flowers, centerpieces and our tea ceremony flowers. The result was so much better than what we had expected! On the day of the wedding Rio and Floyd provided colourful flowers for our ceremony that everyone loved and looked amazing! Their flower arrangements really made our ceremony stand out from others and Ivan and I were super happy. They even stayed during and after the ceremony to move the flowers to our reception area so that they would be used as an accent for the bridal table. Floyd and Rio even congratulated me on my wedding after my ceremony which I thought was really sweet.

My bouquet was exactly what I wanted, lilies and orchids in a tear drop formation. My bridesmaid's bouquet was also perfect, something completely different from mine.

Our tea ceremony flowers were also just amazing!!! We asked them to create something more traditional using mainly reds and yellows to go with the traditional colours used in China for luck. They did an outstanding job with red and yellow flowers and spray painted gold ferns for accents. We use their gold plinths to display our flowers and it just elevated the whole look of our tea ceremony. They even proved us with the use of the giant double happiness sign which really made the tea ceremony area stand out.

For our reception we asked for something more simple. Blue/purple flowers in a vase with string lights and filled with water to give a floating effect. They easily delivered on this and our centerpieces looked amazing and exactly what we wanted.

Flori's approach is different from other florists. They start every wedding with a new page and listen to what their client's needs are and meet them. I think too many other florists go with what is popular at the time and try to meet their clients in the middle. This is not what you will get with Flori.

Thank you, Rio, Floyd and your team, for making our wedding so beautiful and memorable!!!! They are definitely the best team for any occasion and we felt so lucky that they were a part of our wedding. Flori really does know how to make your special day stand out.

We had the pleasure of meeting the Flori team at the Markovina open day & both their flowers and service was amazing! We opted to use Flori for our bridal party flowers, buttonholes & corsages as we were using artificial for our ceremony decor. Flori were able to colour match our artificial flowers perfectly!! Floyd delivered the flowers the morning of our wedding, so that our flowers were fresh. They were able to drop off to us at our air bnb in Kumeu as well as deliver to my husband at our place. The communication with Flori has always been 10/10 with updated quotes, direct replies in regards to any enquiries as well as sending through images to us of the what our bridal flowers would potentially look like. If you are looking at getting married or flowers for an event, we would highly recommend you use Flori! I might also add that their pricing is very reasonable and worked great with our budget! Thank you again Rio, Floyd & Flori team - you made our day even...

Hello from Toronto, Ontario CANADA! I used R&R Flowers to deliver a bouquet and some chocolate to my cousin who was celebrating a birthday and had just given birth a few days prior. Best customer service ever!! All the way from Canada, I was able to message via chat what I was hoping to achieve in sending the most perfect bouquet to my cousin within my budget. They were so responsive during the chat, about everything, cost, bouquet, delivery area - as I was not familiar with terms "City" and "Region" etc. Also communicated with me via email after I left the chat, to ensure confirm details. So awesome! Bouquet and chocolate were delivered in a timely manner and my cousin was so surprised! She sent me a photo and truly it was a stunning bouquet! So happy! Thank you so so so much! Also I will note that the penmanship on the note is the best I've seen in a while :) I'd totally give hugs to...
