Real clouds reflected in the shop window alongside our flower clouds.

The Christmas wreaths have gone and now it's time for something a little more summery.

It's so good to be back - and what a crazy day it was!! The most amazing thing is that all these flowers have been locally grown (as in Taupo) so they're as fresh as can be. No plastic flower sleeves or unnecessary packaging either - the flowers have just been cut, put in a bucket and dropped off to the shop.

Thanks to
Gabrielle's Garden and The Peony Paddock

Pre Christmas bridal bouquet with yellow fennel and cute star-like astrantia. After a lovely well-deserved break we'll be back at it again from Monday. Then with two weddings coming up next Saturday, I guess wedding season is well and truly here.

We'll be open tomorrow (Christmas eve) but we've only got a limited selection of flowers left. You'll need to contact us directly or come in-store if you're needing a last minute bouquet but we're only open until 1pm so don't leave it too late.

Every season there's a flower that sneaks up on me and I find myself taking a liking to it, in spite of my initial dislike. Sunflowers have never been one of my favorites and yet suddenly I find myself using them in so many bouquets. I particularly love this yellow/ baby pink combo.

We'll be open tomorrow (Sat) if you're needing a flower fix.

Almost the last of the pink kings for the year and then after Christmas our Fresh2Dry bouquets will swap over to being more hydrangea based. So exciting to have the daisies and the strawflowers back again though!!

Pretty birthday flowers šŸ’ 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.

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 šŸ“ž to order.

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 šŸ™ŒšŸ™ŒšŸš²

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.

Our Story

When Iā€™m working with flowers, I feel at home. Itā€™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 Taupoā€™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 grandmotherā€™s garden or recognise something theyā€™ve seen growing by the roadside but never really paid attention to before.

Our bouquets and arrangements are created using seasonally available flora that weā€™ve either picked ourselves or sourced from NZ growers. Because weā€™re trying to be the change we want to see we donā€™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 weā€™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 itā€™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 youā€™re wanting - be it armfuls of foliage for the marquee, a stunning ceremony backdrop or a gorgeous, flowing bridal bouquet weā€™ll put our heart and soul into it.
