We have the most incredible range of fresh flowers in stock at the moment and nearly all from local (as in Taupo) growers!!

We'll be open until the 24th and then we'll close for a we'll deserved break and reopen on Mon 06 Jan 2025.

13/12/2024

Pretty birthday flowers 💐 We'll be closed tomorrow (Sat) because it's going to be fairly impossible to get anywhere with all the road closures for the half Ironman race. Good luck to everyone competing, it's going to be hot out there!!

It feels like every week there's a different accent flower, especially as the season's changing again. Last week it was these beautiful green Bells of Ireland. I was hoping we'd have a few left over to dry but they looked so good in the bouquets we ended up using them all.

10/12/2024

Matricaria daisy bunches in-store now. Grown locally by they're super cute and they even dry beautfully. The perfect thing to put in a vase or to gift a friend. Just $25ea

Poppies and peonies are a pretty gorgeous combination and both so fleeting in their seasonality, which makes them all the more special.

If you're just wanting a little fresh posy to say thank you we've got some cute $19 options available. (Pick up only, or we can deliver for orders over $50). Come and see us, text or 📞 to order.

29/11/2024

While we will be open tomorrow (Sat) if you're wanting a delivery it may be a good idea to search 'Lake Taupo Cycle Challenge road closures' first just to check that we can actually deliver your flowers. It mainly affects Lake Terrace and Poihipi Road but there are a lot of people, bikes and cars in town this weekend so getting anywhere will take a bit of patience. Good luck to everyone who is taking part this weekend 🙌🙌🚲

Peonies and garden roses make November weddings a breeze!! This one was for Linda.

Looking like a wildflower meadow... A collection of the season's best locally grown flowers featuring delphinium, lupin, campanula, corncockle, ammobium and more.

21/11/2024

I'm loving this colour combo!! It's one of our 'bright' bouquets. When buying a bouquet from us, we'll ask if you prefer muted, warm, or bright colours. It's so we can be more sustainable in our approach, and means that instead of having to stock a certain amount of flowers in every colour for the 'pink bouquet' or the 'white bouquet' we can take what our growers give us and adapt the bouquet to suit. It's less wastage for growers and more flexibility for us as florists.

Two different looks for a Friday night and then a Saturday night dinner for Isagenix at Hilton Lake Taupo. Whites for the Friday and then a colourful, spring look for the Saturday. The cute vases/ jugs made by Quirky Pottery.

The little white blossoms are mock orange which was such a treat to use. They smell so beautiful but are only around for such a short time that I've hardly ever had the opportunity to work with them. It's one of those things I've found can be a bit fickle as a cut flower but when you only need it to last a night, not a week, then it's perfect.

18/11/2024

We have these cute little heart decorations available in store if you're needing a little thank you or Secret Santa gift that someone might actually want! The ceramic hearts have been handmade next door at and we've created the little posies out of sustainably grown local flowers, dried naturally (with no bleached imports). $19ea, 3 for $49 or decorate your wall with a branch and 5 hearts for $99.

A couple of lovely photos from Thursday night's 'Meet the Growers' event, courtesy of

The first photo is of me with my amazing,team, Krystle and Tamara who made everything in the shop look so good. And the second is of the growers who provide us with so many beautiful bits and pieces to give our work that 'from the garden, just picked' look.

15/11/2024

Thanks so much to everyone who came to our Open Evening and met our wonderful growers. It was lovely to see some familiar faces and put some faces to names.

To anyone that couldn't make it, feel free to pop by anytime to see us on Oruanui Street, next to Quirky Pottery!

We're busy taking Christmas orders so let us know if you're after a gift or wreath, we have some examples in our new window display.

13/11/2024

Come and view our selection of Christmas wreaths at our Meet the Growers evening tomorrow (Thursday) from 4.30pm - 6.30pm. We've completely redone the shop window to display these so even if you don't have time to call in it's worth a drive past.

It's a dream come true having a shop window to decorate, I remember driving past a florist in Kingsland, Ak when I was in my 20s and being so inspired by their displays. I thought when I have my own shop I want to be that kind of florist!

Wreath orders are being taken now, we'll have two sizes $99 (photos 3 & 4) and $160 in natural colours like the ones pictured, or if you have any special requests let me know. We make them from dried flowers, rather than fresh so they can take the heat at this time of year and also because we don't use floral foam (bad for the environment). All NZ grown flora, dried naturally and tied with twine, so completely compostable. I'll list them on the website in the next couple of days.

12/11/2024

One of the questions we get asked most often is where do we get our flowers... because obviously Taupo has no local flower market. So we thought why not get all our local growers together and have a Meet the Growers (and suppliers) evening. Come along to our shop this Thursday from 4.30pm to 6.30pm and have all your flower growing questions answered. We'll have drinks, nibbles and even a few spot prizes. Can't wait to see you there!!

07/11/2024

We're having a few problems with our phone today and seem unable to pick up calls. If have called, please try sending us an email until we resolve things! Thank you!

04/11/2024

Monday's aren't so bad when you get to go to work and play with beautiful blooms like these... Which do I like more... the bearded iris, the lily, the poppies, the geum or the leucospermum??? It's like choosing favourite children!

We've got a 'Meet the Growers' evening coming up on Thurs 14 Nov 4.30pm- 6.30pm so come along and enjoy some nibbles and meet the people who grow so much of this gorgeousness we get to use.

Our Story

When I’m working with flowers, I feel at home. It’s my art and my passion not just a business. I set up X.O.X floral because I wanted a way to work with flowers that was reflective of my style, my belief in the way floristry should be and because I wanted a business that worked with my family. Late 2019 we finally outgrew my garage based studio and moved into our new premises at 10 Miro St in Taupo’s industrial area, giving us more room to create the beautiful flower commissions people having been asking for.

The lockdown period during COVID-19 gave us time to reflect, and made me realise that more than ever my business was needed. Always the abiding principle behind what we do has been to nurture connections between people, their environments and each other. I want people to look at my flowers and feel something, feel a connection with their grandmother’s garden or recognise something they’ve seen growing by the roadside but never really paid attention to before.

Our bouquets and arrangements are created using seasonally available flora that we’ve either picked ourselves or sourced from NZ growers. Because we’re trying to be the change we want to see we don’t use imported flowers or floral foam. Afterall Taupo has a cold, harsh climate not a tropical one! Our bouquets are lovingly wrapped in brown paper, with recycled fabric used as ribbons and if you want your bouquet delivered in water we’ll put it in a glass jar. Our wreaths are also made from scratch and tied with twine using a mix of fresh and dried flora.

We love doing weddings and it’s a privilege for us to create the florals that will be in your photos and memories forever. Because we absolutely love what we do and we do it well you can trust us that whatever florals you’re wanting - be it armfuls of foliage for the marquee, a stunning ceremony backdrop or a gorgeous, flowing bridal bouquet we’ll put our heart and soul into it.
