Vidabela is a home-run Auckland business that makes dried and preserved flower gifts, and it is based in Glenfield on the North Shore. Its specialty is dried flowers rather than fresh, so the arrangements last far longer than a fresh bunch. Most of the dried and preserved flowers come from local suppliers, and some of the more colourful varieties are imported from Japan and mixed with local dried flowers for a more natural look.
The gifts are sent anywhere in New Zealand. Customers can choose a ready-made arrangement, or use the build-your-own gift box section to pick a dried arrangement with New Zealand-made add-ons, such as pampering treats. Arrangements come in modern vessels, from domes and glazed ceramic vases to glassware, and the business also makes custom wall art. One repeat customer says the same-day or next-day delivery has been reliable.
For weddings, Vidabela makes custom dried and preserved flower designs and hires out artificial flowers. It has recently added lawn games to its hire range, so these can be collected for use at the same wedding as the flowers. The head floral stylist has more than 25 years of industry experience.
