At Elderflower Florist, we’re here to redefine your wedding flower experience.
Specialising exclusively in weddings, we craft contemporary, romantic floral designs that reflect your unique love story. Whether you’re planning an intimate elopement or a large-scale celebration, we work closely with you to bring your vision to life - translating your mood, style, and story into beautiful, expressive arrangements that feel deeply personal.
Our style is a modern blend of wild, whimsical textures paired with timeless elegance. No two arrangements are ever the same. Every bloom is chosen with purpose—to capture the essence of your day and create unforgettable floral moments that are both artful and emotive.
Thoughtfully Designed Floral Pieces.
We believe flowers are more than something pretty on the table. They are a sensory experience: the scent that fills the room, the texture in your hands, the way petals move in the breeze, and the colours that linger in your memory.
Every design is created with care and intention—crafted to not only elevate your space but to evoke emotion and meaning. We love what we do. From the first consultation to the final delivery, our process is collaborative and heartfelt. We’ll chat about what you love, the feeling you want your day to have, and how we can use florals to tell that story beautifully.
Locally Grown Blooms, Lovingly Sourced.
We are proud to use 100% New Zealand-grown flowers. Supporting local growers—both small-scale producers and established flower farms—is central to our philosophy. It allows us to work with the freshest, most seasonal blooms while also reducing our environmental footprint.
Sourcing locally helps us strengthen our communities, celebrate New Zealand’s natural beauty, and embrace the rhythm of the seasons. Sustainability at the core, Our approach is grounded in respect for the planet. We avoid single-use floral products and opt for reusable, compostable, or biodegradable alternatives wherever possible.
Sustainability is woven through everything we do—from our mechanics to our packaging—because we believe beauty should never come at the cost of the environment.
