Flowers and florists seem to play a supporting role in many of life's dramas. There's a story behind every bouquet ordered. Sometimes we even put the future of our relationship in a florist's hands, hoping that a striking floral arrangement will help it all work out.

From bouquets that say welcome to new babies, to celebrating weddings or sending our heartfelt sympathies, there are flowers for every occasion. Including proposing to girlfriends and smoothing a rocky romance!

A single velvety red rose might apologise for a forgotten anniversary, a bright bunch of gerberas might say thank you for being a great friend, or a few elegant tulips is a gift for the host at a dinner party. Arrangements of summery fresh flowers are also increasingly being ordered as festive Christmas displays.

There a few life events bigger than a wedding and florists can play a big part in the big day. There are brides who like to organise the details of their bouquet 18 months in advance and brides who come in a fortnight before. But it's Valentine's Day and Mother's Day that are the busiest days of the year, and they usually involve a frenzy of roses and mixed arrangements to meet the demand of all the old loves and new romantics.

Florists like Papamoa's Arrange Floral Design that offer an online service and fast free same day flower delivery are proving popular - not only with those who don't remember their wife's birthday until the last minute, but also because many people simply prefer browsing through the range of bouquets at their convenience.
