About Wowbloom
We craft hands-on floral experiences across New Zealand — from beginner bouquet workshops to wedding floral courses and online masterclasses.
Our story
Founded in Auckland, Wowbloom began as a small studio teaching friends to arrange seasonal blooms. Today we run regular group workshops, private bridal sessions, and accessible online courses to lift confidence and technique.
- Hands-on, small-group classes (max 10 participants)
- Seasonal and locally sourced botanicals
- Focus on sustainable, slow-floral practices

Sourcing & sustainability
We prioritise local growers and seasonal materials. Our studio practices composting of green waste and reuses props to reduce single-use packaging.
For bridal work we advise early consultations to plan sustainably sourced elements and reduce floral waste after events.
