Celebrating the Joy of Flowers with Local Florist Best Blooms

Last week Best Blooms hosted lots of locals from Rosebank Road courtesy of the Rosebank Business Association. It was such a FUN night. Check out what we were all up to!

Local Businesses come to Best Blooms to "Play with Flowers"

We had a fantastic time! Best Blooms Florist Auckland hosted managers, staff & team members from local businesses for a joing hosting with the Rosebank Business Association in our floral studio last week.

A fun and flowery evening event, offering a unique chance for local Rosebank networking, and for guests to get a chance to make their own flower arrangement - with the Winner scooping the grand prize of coming back to Best Blooms on a Friday afternoon to have a private session with Donna our Senior Florist, choose their own fresh flowers, and make their own bouquet.

Make a Floral Arrangement in 10 minutes - Ready...Set...Go!

The evening focused on sharing knowledge, and providing insight into our industry's operations. With a large group of over 60 people, we split the group into two, and our Senior Florist Donna provided a demonstration on creating a small flower posy in a ceramic vase. Then everyone was invited to make their own, helped by Jo and our brilliant team of florist’s, setting them up and guiding them to create a floral arrangement.
To add to the challenge, and keep the timing on track, we set everyone the task that it had to be made in 10 minutes. The courier is coming! A lot of laughs and fun was had, sharing the joy with making flowers.
Then of course they got to take home their own arrangement, and enjoy looking at their own creation.
A special shout out to all those who chose to wear Floral - especially you guys! It added another fun layer to the evening!🌸

Telling the Best Blooms Story

Meanwhile Philip Selwyn - Co-Owner led a separate group, discussing the story and history of Best Blooms. From our early beginnings as Ma and Pa with a baby upstairs, to the many relocations we have made along the way, and the many painting jobs that Phil has personally invested in the business. he then explained more about how we buy flowers, the early morning flower auctions and what's involved before we even see the flowers at our store.

The event was a resounding success, with enthusiastic feedback received via email the next day. The attendees loved it! 🌼 Well done to our team - we were both so very proud of you all and how you made all our guests feel warm and welcome. Thank you.
