Tulips Renowned for their large, showy, cup-shaped petals and the wide array of vibrant colours they are available in, tulips are the quintessential symbol of spring. Hyacinths With their distinctive room-filling scent and stunning spikes filled with clusters of highly pigmented flowers, hyacinths remain a traditional favourite spring flower.

For centuries, flowers have used as a non-verbal way to express emotion and communicate. Court Florist’s Victoria Street florist Christchurch team create flower arrangements for a myriad of reasons that cover all aspects of life and living: from cradle to grave, for the highs and lows and ‘just because’ flowers. Sending flowers is a kind gesture, and while you don’t need a specific reason to, there are many situations that warrant sending a beautiful bouquet. Here are the 7 most popular reasons why people send flowers with Court Florist in Christchurch NZ: 1. Celebrations, achievements and milestones With thanks to the symbolism of flowers, they play a central role in celebrations and milestones. From a flower delivery of ruby red roses for a 40 th wedding anniversary, the birth of a new baby, through to extravagant wedding flowers, every occasion can be marked with special flowers. 2. Expressions of love and affection Valentine’s Day is synonymous with sending flowers to a loved one. However, Court Florist is delighted to report that romantic flower deliveries are a year-round gesture for loved up Christchurch residents, and often without occasion. Sending flowers is an incredibly romantic gesture to express love and affection and show someone they are on your mind. 3. Support and sympathy flowers Used across many faiths, flowers honour the deceased , but they are also a thoughtful way to offer condolences to a grieving family or show support to someone going through a tough time. A flower delivery is a powerful yet sensitive way to demonstrate you are there without being intrusive. 4. Thank you and appreciation Gratitude is a wonderful trait, and flowers are a beautiful way to thank someone for their kindness, help or generosity. When someone recognises that you have gone above and beyond expectations, the result is pure joy. 5. Apologies and reconciliation Some of the hardest words to say are ‘I’m sorry’. Beautiful flowers can be a sincere way to make amends and apologise to someone you have wronged. Sending flowers can be the first step to smoothing over misunderstandings and show a willingness to reconcile. 6. Seasonal greetings Dare the C-word be mentioned at this time of year? Christmas wreaths and flower arrangement deliveries bring the season’s cheer to your doorstep and are the ideal gift if you are unable to join family and friends over the holiday season. 7.

If you are looking for some winter cheer, nothing brightens the mood or home like a beautiful bouquet of fresh seasonal flowers . Whether you've received a stunning arrangement as a gift or treated yourself to a flower arrangement, placing your flower delivery strategically in your home maximises its impact and longevity. Placing a flower delivery in your home during winter requires a bit of thought and care, but the effort is well worth it. Here are some tips on how and where to place your flower delivery to create a cosy and vibrant sanctuary. Where should you put flowers in the home? The short answer is anywhere! The joy of flowers is they can be put in any room. There are certainly no hard and fast rules, but each room in your home serves a different purpose, so any flowers displayed can be used to elevate the room's ambiance. Living room: This is where family and friends gather and the classic location for flowers to create a strong focal point. From our Victoria Street location, Christchurch's Court Florist delivers flowers to make a bold statement. Don't be afraid of colour; from the Bright and Vibrant Bouquet to the Jewel Tones Bouquet, the glorious colours and fragrance are simply divine and deserve a central location such as a coffee table or mantelpiece for maximum visual impact. If you have a fireplace, always move the flowers so they are not too close to the heat to avoid them wilting prematurely. Dining room: A floral centrepiece on the dining table transforms a mealtime into a special occasion. Choose low arrangements to avoid obstructing the view across the table, or if you have a sideboard, they make an excellent secondary spot for a taller arrangement. If you are having a formal dinner party, choose structured contemporary flowers; for a relaxed gathering, a more whimsical display with seasonal flowers and greenery looks delightful. Kitchen: Kitchens are the heart of the home and the hub of household activity. A posy of flowers or bouquet on the benchtop or windowsill adds charm without taking up valuable workspace. Just make sure the flowers are away from direct heat sources and not in direct sunlight. Bedroom: Placing flowers on the bedside table or dresser adds a touch of romance and tranquillity to the bedroom, and a wonderful display to wake up to. Opt for subtle or lightly scented flowers to create a calming atmosphere conducive to relaxation and sleep. Where not to place your flowers Winter poses unique challenges with reduced natural light and indoor heating. Direct sunlight can be too harsh, even in winter, causing flowers to wilt; fresh flower arrangements like to receive gentle, filtered light. Similarly, avoid placing them near heating vents, fireplaces, or in drafts from doors and windows that are frequently opened. Sudden temperature changes can be detrimental to their lifespan. How to care for your flower delivery Proper care is crucial to extend the life of your flowers during winter. Keep the water fresh and clean by removing wilting flowers or foliage and check the water level daily, topping it up as needed – this helps to prevent bacteria build-up. Every few days, trim the stems at a 45-degree angle to increase the surface area for water uptake and to ensure optimal water absorption. Flowers bring life, colour, and joy to any space, a welcome contrast to the winter landscape.

Sometimes mums do things purely with love, and other times it’s done with love but behind a veil of exhaustion and ‘if I have to tell you one more time’ frustration. They should be showered with gifts every day of the week for keeping the show on the road. However, Mother’s Day 2024 falls on Sunday 12th May in New Zealand, a special day to show appreciation for all she does. Mums are typically rather good at doing things for other people and putting themselves at the bottom of the list, which makes it a struggle to find the perfect gift for Mother’s Day. It’s not through lack of wanting to, rather it’s a challenge to find a tangible way to express the level of gratitude for the woman who does so much.  So, if you have one of these hard-to-buy-for mums and are met with a ‘don’t worry about getting me anything’, Court Florist are here to inspire and help you find a Mother’s Day gift she will love. Fresh flower delivery for Christchurch mums Few things brighten a home and lift the spirits quite like a beautiful bouquet of fresh flowers . Imagine the joy when she receives a stunning arrangement of blooms, meticulously curated by one of the best florist's in Christchurch, New Zealand. With same-day flower delivery available, Court Florist makes it easy to surprise her with a burst of colour and fragrance hand delivered to her doorstep. Terrarium For the mum with a green thumb or a penchant for unique decor, a terrarium is a fabulous choice . These miniature gardens make a striking addition to a house plant display bringing a touch of nature indoors. Terrariums, or bottle gardens, are long lasting, mess-free and easy to care for, and are both calming and therapeutic. A really lovely gift for busy mums.
