Best of the Bunch Florist sits in New Zealand Rugby House at 100 Molesworth Street in Thorndon, Wellington, with a 4.8 rating from 284 Google reviews — customers mention friendly service, same-day pickups and Christmas deliveries, with online ordering flagged often. A good florist works with the seasons, steering you toward what is genuinely fresh that week rather than what merely looks presentable, and will build to a budget or suggest hardier stems when your first choice sells out. Around peak dates such as Valentine's Day and Christmas, ordering ahead makes a real difference, though most florists keep capacity for same-day requests. It also pays to ask how the flowers have been conditioned — properly cut, rested stems can add days to a bouquet's life. For Thorndon offices and homes alike, this Molesworth Street shop is a handy stop for bouquets, with gift baskets, fruit baskets and balloons among the extras customers mention most.
