"Excellent"
"Thank you Best Blooms all the way from Perth. Once again you came through with the most beautiful and freshest flower arrangement. My sister was so happy to receive her wonderful bouquet! 💐"
"I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for the beautiful arrangement and exceptional service you provided when I ordered flowers for my friend Sharon, who sadly lost her husband this morning. The flowers are perfect, and your warmth, compassion, and efficiency made a very emotional moment a little more bearable. I’m truly grateful for the care you showed. I say this with even more appreciation because, in December, I had a very different experience with another florist here in Christchurch. After losing a close friend, I ordered flowers for his family, only to be told two days later—and only after I followed up—that the range I had selected was unavailable. The response I received was not only unhelpful but also shockingly rude and devoid of any empathy, which added unnecessary distress during an already painful time. So thank you — not just for the flowers, but for reminding me what genuine care and thoughtful service look like. It made a real difference. "
"Thank you for a 1st class gift and service. My sister was very very pleased with it. Will be using you again. "
"My daughter in law was thrilled with the beautiful roses that she received. They were beautifully arranged and let her know we were thinking of her in such a lovely way. Thank you "
When wanting to support your loved ones during a bereavement, it can be hard to know what are the right flowers to send. At Best Blooms Auckland, our florists recomend sending a water-filled vox bouquet. This takes away the pressure from the family for having to take care of the flowers, as your bouquet is arranged and displayed in a portable no-fuss wrapped vase/box. It is the most popular floral option in New Zealand to send to the home of the bereaved. A vox bouquet, is long-lasting and entirely convenient for them to receive.
We would also suggest sending floral arrangements for a bereavement gift. These are more compact styled flowers, arranged in Oasis (water filled florist sponge), and our florists make them in a keepsake tin trough for them to re-use afterwards. A floral arrangement is easy to take care of, they just need to be watered daily. We have soft and subtle box arrangements of flowers, pretty garden arrangements, and sympathy baskets.
In terms of the colour to choose for your bouquet, it is entirely appropriate to send either symbolic, traditional white flowers, or gentle, soft pastels as a sign of your grief. Some customers like to send a more cheerful, bright colour flower bouquet in memory of happy times, and to celebrate the life of the deceased. The family will appreciate your thoughts and care and being surrounded by love.
To share your condolences, sometimes you want to send something instead of flowers. Plants are a lovely alternative, Thinking of You Peace Lily Plant Gift Box, is a popular option for a bereavement gift. Alternative to flowers a sharing food gift box, or gift basket can be sent to the grieving family to send your loving thoughts in their time of sorrow.
You are welcome to call our florists, to discuss how we can help with the floral arrangements on 09 838 9058, or please order securely online.
