There isn’t a person in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland who doesn’t love getting a surprise flower delivery and at Urban List, we think it should be a more common occurrence. There simply isn’t an occasion that doesn’t call for a beautiful bunch of flowers. Saying thanks to a mate, telling your lover they’re the bee's knees or celebrating your bestie’s new promotion. Whatever you need, a bunch of blooms will have you covered.
A mere click, call or visit away, there are plentiful options to send a posie to suit all occasions, aesthetics and budgets to a special someone (yourself included). Some of them even take that to the next level, offering same-day delivery which is a real lifesaver for unfortunate forgotten special occasions. Here are our top picks of the bunch for the best floral deliveries and florists across Auckland.
Isadia

One of the newest florists on our list, Isadia burst onto the scene in 2021 and their bouquets have been turning heads ever since with their recognisable style that blends an emphasis on colour and height.
Having recently opened their first bricks-and-mortar store in an ivy-covered heritage building in Mount Eden, you can now walk in and select fresh flowers from a vibrant array on offer every week, or pick up a bespoke creation in Isadia’s iconic naturalistic aesthetic.
Upstairs, founders Isabel Johnston and Lydia Reusser will further cultivate both their sense of creativity and community by hosting workshops and events. Besides flowers for any occasion, if wedding bells are on the horizon, Isadia's natural and romantic compositions are well worth a look.
La Femme Fleur

Unless you’ve been perched under a flora-free rock your whole Auckland life, chances are you’ve seen (and swooned over) La Femme Fleur's nifty little flower truck while it’s parked up in Cox’s Bay.
Chic, simple and a touch rustic, the bouquets here are a nod to the charming arrangements found in Parisian corner florists. Options are aplenty when it comes to La Femme Fleur’s flower delivery: simply choose a colour scheme before opting for a one-off bouquet, a regular subscription or a ‘home flower bundle’ selection for you to style as you please.
Better yet, they even have the option for same-day delivery for those early birds who get their orders in before noon.
Wandering Willow
86 Hendon Avenue, Mount Albert, Auckland & Online
Forget the diamonds, dried flowers are forever. Just ask designer Yuki Pogoni of Wandering Willow, whose dried flower creations are among the best flower deliveries in Auckland.
The inspiration for such bouquets stemmed from a dried wall piece in the workroom she once created wedding dresses in—so you best believe that her creations are truly whimsical, romantic and rustic works of art.
The dried florals come in all shapes and sizes, with contemporary options like sleek glass tumblers, sculptural vase arrangements and wreaths that’ll tempt you to stray away from a classic bouquet.
Best of all, these dried creations allow for easy travel around the country, so are one of the best options for flower delivery in Auckland and beyond.

They're all about contemporary, and ultra-lush arrangements that strike a balance between art and bouquets. These green-fingered folk have decked some of Auckland’s best venues, weddings and events, so it’s safe to say that they’re one of the best florists that also deliver in Auckland.
Rose Tinted Flowers
Online
With a literal English rose at the helm, it’s rather fitting that Rose Tinted Flowers is a firm favourite among lovers of all things pretty and posie-related.
Owner Rosie Holt’s upbringing in the rose and wildflower-filled English countryside (and as the daughter of a florist) has—quite literally—bloomed into a knack for creating rustic, romantic and downright dreamy bouquets.
Have a bespoke bouquet delivered to your doorstep, add in a bottle of Moët & Chandon to sweeten the deal, or keep the abundance of flowers coming with a weekly or monthly flower subscription.
