So, trying to sweep that special someone off their feet? Here’s where to find the best florists in Wellington.
Flowers Manuela
Te Aro, Wellington
In case you’re not already in the know, Flowers Manuela is a Wellington fave. The shop is bursting with locally grown flowers in every colour you can imagine, ready and waiting to be assembled into your perfect bouquet by a member of the expert team. Their bespoke designs are inspired by nature, always highlighting the organic beauty of the flowers themselves. If you’re in a rush but don’t want to skimp on the romance, there are gorgeous pre-made bouquets on display out front, too.
Yvette Edwards
Te Aro, Wellington
Walking into the Yvette Edwards' studio is like setting foot in fairyland. An array of the most beautiful blooms greets you at the door, framed by polished hardwood floors, exposed brick, and tall windows. Whether you’re after a few simple stems or an all-out romantic bouquet, Yvette Edwards provides with a touch of magic. The studio also boasts every sort of houseplant you can imagine, in case your sweetheart is more into leaves than petals.
Twig & Arrow
Te Aro, Wellington
The best thing about Wellington’s Twig & Arrow? All of the eco-friendly packaging! Each bouquet of devastatingly gorgeous flowers is wrapped in paper instead of plastic, and biodegradable cups of wet moss are used in lieu of the usual artificial floral foam. If the magic worked by the shop’s talented florists has you feeling inspired, grab a friend and head along to one of Twig & Arrow’s many hands-on floral workshops.

Wellington Central
Do yourself a favour and wander into The Wild Flower Boutique in the CBD.
