Wedding Flowers Christchurch
Bespoke Floral Design for Timeless, Thoughtful Celebrations
At Downies Flowers, we create wedding flowers that feel personal, refined, and beautifully considered.
Based in Christchurch, our team works closely with couples across Canterbury to design bespoke floral arrangements that reflect your story, your style, and the atmosphere you want to create — from intimate ceremonies to large-scale celebrations, every detail is thoughtfully planned to feel effortless, meaningful, and completely your own.
Thoughtfully Designed Wedding Flowers, Made for You
No two weddings are the same, and we believe your flowers shouldn’t be either.
Our approach to wedding florals is collaborative and design-led. We take the time to understand your vision, colour palette, venue, and priorities, creating floral designs that feel cohesive and intentional from start to finish.
Whether you’re drawn to modern minimalism, soft romantic tones, or abundant garden-style florals, we tailor each element to suit your day — never relying on fixed packages or one-size-fits-all designs.
Bridal Bouquets & Personal Flowers
Designed to complement your dress, style, and setting
Your bridal bouquet is one of the most personal floral pieces of the day. It should feel balanced, considered, and unmistakably you.
We design bridal bouquets that work harmoniously with your gown, wedding aesthetic, and the season — selecting flowers for their beauty, movement, and texture.
In addition to bridal bouquets, we also create:
Bridesmaid bouquets
Buttonholes and corsages
Flower crowns and wearable florals
Each piece is handcrafted to feel cohesive, elegant, and thoughtfully connected.
Ceremony Flowers & Venue Styling
Creating atmosphere from the moment your guests arrive
Flowers play a powerful role in setting the tone of your wedding.
From the ceremony to the reception, we design floral elements that enhance your venue and guide guests through the space.
Our ceremony and venue styling services may include:
Altar and arbour arrangements
Aisle flowers and ground installations
Entrance and welcome arrangements
Table centrepieces and floral accents
We consider scale, placement, and flow — ensuring each arrangement feels intentional and visually balanced within the space.
Floral Installations & Feature Pieces
Statement florals with impact and refinement
For couples looking to make a visual statement, we offer bespoke floral installations designed specifically for your venue and layout.
These feature pieces are ideal for creating focal points and memorable moments throughout your celebration.
Installations may include:
Hanging florals
Feature backdrops
Staircase or architectural installations
Custom statement arrangements
All installations are designed with both aesthetics and practicality in mind, ensuring they photograph beautifully and sit naturally within the space.
