A Napier florist on Bridge Street, Ahuriri, with same-day delivery across Hawke's Bay for orders placed before 1pm, and gift lines of candles, hand care and chocolate. The Village Florist is at shop 5, 87 Bridge Street. The website says fresh flowers are delivered daily to Napier, Ahuriri, Taradale, Hastings, Havelock North and surrounding areas, with same-day delivery for orders placed before 1pm. Bouquets are seasonal blooms presented in a water-filled box, in a vase with a signature bag, or in a gift bag. The gift range includes ECOYA candles, including the Metro, the Madison and a mini Madison, and fragrant hand creams, hand and body wash, and mini diffusers. Chocolate bars are also stocked, including one that won a gold medal at the 2022 Inspire+ NZ Artisan Awards, according to the website.
Reviewers mention short-notice orders, last-minute gifts and wedding flowers most often. One says a bright and bold arrangement was exactly what they asked for, and that a call the next day to check on the order was handled quickly. Another ordered flowers for a grandmother from Australia, and added a vase. A third says a birthday box was delivered late because of a cyclone, and that they love the florist's work, including a bouquet for their mum's 90th birthday.
