Easter: sending flowers in Christchurch to celebrate

19 March 2024

Easter means ‘a feast of fresh flowers’, and as the best florist in Christchurch, New Zealand, Fleur’s creative team adore this interpretation. It’s a time of celebration and a wonderful reason to get together with family and friends. At the heart of every celebration, flowers always play a significant role, and Easter is no different. Whether you are hosting, being a guest, or sending apologies for being unable to attend, an Easter flower bouquet, is always welcome.


Why are flowers given at Easter?

For those who celebrate its Christian roots, flowers at Easter time are particularly poignant. They represent new life, symbolising the new life given to Jesus when he resurrected on Easter Sunday, and it is the end of Lent, a period of fasting and penitence. However, the long weekend and opportunity to gather with loved ones enables people of all religions and belief systems to enjoy Easter.


The best flowers to send for Easter

Flowers are symbolic, and there are both secular and non-secular meanings associated with different types of flowers:


Beautiful and elegant lilies

Lilies represent purity, new beginnings and rebirth which makes them a popular choice for a flower delivery in Christchurch when people have welcomed a new baby or moved to a new home. From a religious perspective, the lily traditionally represents the resurrection of Jesus.

Colourful tulips

In seventeenth century Holland, tulip bulbs were more expensive than gold. Choose from single, double, ruffled, fringed, or lily-shaped in a glorious wealth of colours. From the sparkling bright and vibrant through to the gentle pastel colours, there is a tulip perfect for any interior design scheme.


Tulips are found in many church displays, with each colour having their own symbolism:


·        White tulips signify forgiveness.

·        Purple tulips represent royalty.

·        Red tulips symbolise passion.

·        Yellow tulips represent hope.


Exquisite Iris

Iris is the name in Greek mythology of the Goddess of the Rainbow and are available in a range of stunning colours. For Easter flowers, blue irises symbolise faith and hope, purple royalty and wisdom, and delicate white purity.

Bright and joyful sunflowers

Easter flower decorating ideas

As an award-winning florist in Merivale, Christchurch, our creative team is a little biased, but every celebration deserves floral attention. And what better way is there to raise the stakes than using flowers to elevate your décor? It’s easy to order flowers online for Christchurch, and they are incredibly versatile for a host of locations.

A floral centrepiece for your Easter table: a centrepiece of stunning seasonal flowers adds a delightful finishing touch to the table. Choose colourful posies rather than a high structured flower arrangement for the table so guests can see over rather than through!


Easter tablescaping: rather than a central flower arrangement, tablescaping is using flowers and foliage dramatically across the entire surface of the tabletop. It’s creative, maximalist and utterly divine.


A vase of stunning flowers: a bouquet of flowers immediately brightens the home, and you immediately reap their benefits. Nothing adds colour and warmth to a home like flowers. If you are sending flowers in Christchurch as a gift, Fleur’s Vox Box flowers are a delight. Arranged for a 360° display view and pre-filled with water and nutrients in a vase, they need no further attention – the ideal gift for a busy Easter host.

Floral design for business events: style, strategy, and seasonal beauty

by Simon Mullinger • 23 June 2025
When it comes to creating memorable events, nothing transforms a space quite like expertly chosen floral arrangements. Whether you're planning an intimate celebration or a grand corporate gathering, the right flowers elevate your corporate event from ordinary to extraordinary. Selecting the perfect flowers requires the careful consideration of multiple factors that come together to create a cohesive, stunning display. Understanding your event's unique requirements As an award-winning flower shop in Christchurch, Fleur by DK has been recognised for our creative flower displays and arrangements, but our success relies on our ability to connect with our clients on a human level. Every successful event begins with truly understanding the atmosphere you wish to create and how you want the flowers to make the attendees feel . The type of celebration you're hosting is the greatest influence on your floral options, from the scale of arrangements to the specific varieties that will best complement the occasion. Flowers for formal events For formal occasions like corporate launches, awards ceremonies, or business conferences, the choice of flowers should reflect elegance and professionalism and be brand appropriate. Orchids are a Christchurch business flower favourite, often recommended as these exotic blooms ooze sophistication and yet have an impressive longevity. When paired with structured tropical foliage, such as anthuriums or sleek line flowers, they create eye-catching arrangements that enhance the setting without distracting from the event’s purpose. Purple irises, which symbolise wisdom, can also be a thoughtful addition, subtly reinforcing brand values while adding a touch of colour to reception areas or stage displays. Flowers for casual events Casual corporate events, such as team-building days, office birthdays, client socials, or milestone celebrations, allow for a more relaxed and creative approach to floral styling. These occasions are ideal for incorporating personal touches that reflect company culture or the interests of the team. Think flowers with vibrant colour palettes , playful arrangements, Instagrammable walls, or blooms that tie into the event’s theme. For example, a summer BBQ might call for bright sunflowers and bold tropicals, while a laid-back networking evening could feature simple, seasonal posies in jars for a welcoming, informal vibe.

Here's how you can capture the power of flowers to transform your living spaces. Create striking first impressions Your hallway sets the tone for your entire home.

Many clients use our flower delivery Christchurch service to ensure their entrance makes a statement – is there anything more pleasing than coming home to beautiful fresh flowers? Add living texture to any room Where furniture and décor provide structure, flowers add organic movement and texture. A thoughtfully positioned flower arrangement softens angular furniture pieces and complements existing textiles. For living rooms, fuller arrangements with varied heights and textures add vitality. For dining tables, lower arrangements allow comfortable conversation while still adding elegance. At Fleurs by DK, our professional florists craft flower arrangements specifically designed to enhance your home's unique aesthetic. Transform awkward spaces Every home has challenging corners or nooks that resist traditional décor solutions. These spaces are perfect for placing flowers. A tall, sculptural arrangement can fill an empty corner, while smaller posies bring life to bathrooms or bedside tables. Our flower shop in Christchurch specialises in creating custom arrangements for these often-overlooked spaces.
