Flowers that feel like you.

I create realistic wedding flowers, bouquets and arrangements for couples who want high quality stems without the pressure of fresh flowers. Based in Christchurch and creating for weddings, events and beautiful spaces throughout New Zealand.

I’m a big believer that artificial wedding flowers can be every bit as beautiful, luxurious and considered as fresh flowers - when they're done properly.

I carefully source premium, realistic florals and bring them together through colour, texture, shape and scale to create designs that photograph beautifully and look incredible in real life.

“100% recommend using Prime Petals! Tash was incredibly helpful & did an incredible job making our vision come to reality!
We were VERY unorganised leading up to our wedding & found Tash a month prior to our big day, even with a short time frame she delivered the most beautiful bouquets & boutonnieres.
Such a cost affective way to achieve a similar (I think better) outcome to real florals!
The best thing is you get a forever bouquet at the end, a beautiful keepsake of our special day ♥️
Tash was great at communicating expectations, delivery time and allowed pick up in Christchurch.
We ordered 4x bouquets and 4x boutonnières, they were “real touch” they looked so incredibly real and as seen in the pictures, they photographed PERFECTLY!”

“The most amazing experience. From start to finish Tash was able to design and work with us to create flowers that fit both our venue and our colour scheme. Her communication throughout was so professional and stress free. I could not recommend Prime Petals enough for wedding flowers. All my bridesmaids and I have kept our bouquets and have them in our homes on display. Thank you so much for being a gift to the wedding industry!”

Tash did such a fantastic job of our florals!
She was a dream to work with, creating mood boards and checking in to make sure we were on the same page. She delivered everything and set up the arches which we hired - LOVED hiring instead of having to buy- love that she’s committed to reusing. She created super fun and vibrant bouquets, and amazing magnet buttonholes for the groomsmen. The florals really pop and looked amazing in pictures and I’m life.
Thanks Tash, you really were incredible!!!
She’s also super nice, which is so important when planning a big event like a wedding! 💖💖

At Prime Petals - NZ Florals, I am dedicated to sustainability and minimizing waste. My commitment to recycling is evident in our practices: reusing cardboard boxes and packaging materials for deliveries across the country. In situations where it is required to have more packaging, I source additional materials from my husband's workplace.

Artificial and Dried Florals are truly remarkable for any special occasion for exactly this reason. Not only are they a sustainable choice, but they also offer versatility in how they can be repurposed post-event, such as beautifying your living space with a long-living touch of nature.

Meet the Heart Behind

Prime Petals

Kia ora, I'm Tash - the heart behind

Prime Petals.

You've probably spent hours scrolling wedding inspo, trying to figure out how to get the look you want without the stress of real flowers wilting, dropping petals, or costing a small fortune. That's exactly who I built Prime Petals for.

I started this business because I got married myself and couldn't believe how much stress real flowers added to an already full-on week. I wanted something better. Flowers that looked real, felt luxe, and didn't add one more thing to worry about on the day.

So that's what I do. I design and make faux floral arrangements, bouquets, wedding flowers, home pieces, and custom commissions for people who want a realistic, modern, neutral look that actually lasts. My clients are mostly brides and couples planning their wedding, but I also work with anyone who wants beautiful flowers without the upkeep, whether that's for your home, a gift, or an event you're styling.

Here's what makes it different. Every single piece is made to order. No templates, no repeats, unless you specifically want one. I build each arrangement around your vision, not a display piece I already had sitting around. And because everything's faux, what you get isn't just a one-day thing. You keep it, you reuse it, you get years out of something you paid good money for.

I'm based in Christchurch and have been doing this since 2022. What I love most is bringing couples vision come to life along with the privilege of working from home and being there for my four boys.

If you're after flowers that feel like you, not like a catalogue, I'd love to help you get there. Get in touch and let's talk about your vision.
