One Poppy Wedding Flowers is a wedding florist and stylist based in Kaukapakapa, north of Auckland, that works with local and seasonal blooms. It offers bouquets, ceremony flowers, full table styling and event florals, and it also runs workshops and recommends other wedding suppliers. The business uses a no-floral-foam policy, and it composts its waste. The founder, who came to New Zealand from the United Kingdom, worked in retail and wholesale floristry before starting the business. The business works across Auckland and further afield, on a wedding-by-wedding basis.
Couples say the arrangements are stunning and the flowers are sustainably sourced. One couple who knew little about flowers says the founder was very helpful with suggestions, and put together gorgeous bouquets and table arrangements. Another says they were drawn to the work's beauty and were pleased that it was also better for the environment. To start, couples check their wedding date and send details through the website's enquiry page, and then receive a personalised proposal. The business can be called on 022 207 6221. For a couple who want wedding flowers that are local and kind to the environment, the business is a good choice.
