Welcome to The Bay Florist. We don’t just arrange your flowers; we grow them. Tucked into the hillside of Oriental Bay, our garden is a thriving ecosystem where we cultivate premium, fragile blooms—like our favourite dahlias—in perfect harmony with nature. Enjoy honest, seasonal flowers, harvested straight from the soil to your table.
Flowers from Oriental Bay
We don't just arrange your flowers; we grow them. Every stem that leaves our micro flower farm started as a seed or seedling planted with care. By growing locally on a small scale, we can offer unique, heirloom varieties you won't find in a standard flower shop, all while working entirely in harmony with the Wellington climate. No imported blooms, no harsh chemicals, and zero 'flower miles'—just incredibly fresh, seasonal flowers harvested straight from the garden to your table.
From Seed to Vase, Right Here in Wellington
What we offer
7-8 focal flowers · Our signature arrangement
This is our most popular bouquet — balanced, vibrant, and designed in our natural Bay Florist style. The Rotunda includes 7–8 carefully chosen speciality flowers (in summer, dahlias, gladiolus and hydrangeas; in spring, ranunculus, tulips and many more), paired with whatever is blooming beautifully in the garden that week: larkspur, statice, scabiosa, cosmos, strawflower, amaranthus and other seasonal accents.
Soft, textural, and always a little different depending on the week’s colour palette. Ideal for the home, for gifting, or as a treat for yourself.
9–10 focal flowers · Large, lush, and full of presence
Our biggest and boldest bouquet — designed to feel abundant, textured and full of movement. The O’ Bay Bouquet features 9–10 of our speciality flowers (in summer, dahlias, gladiolus and hydrangeas; in spring, ranunculus, tulips and many more), supported by seasonal garden flowers and soft foliage gathered fresh from our micro flower farm in Oriental Bay.
Think rich textures, layered colours, and a slightly wild, natural feel.
Perfect for gifting, events, dinner tables or anywhere you’d like the flowers to make the room feel alive.
