Pick a Posy

Bringing a touch of colour and fragrance that blends seamlessly with the sea spray from across the road, Pick a Posy is the go-to stop at Lyall Bay Junction for bouquets for all occasions.

Pick a Posy’s story stretches all the way back to 1952, when the original shop first opened on Woodward Street. The new seaside space reflects that new energy: trendy, modern, and welcoming, somewhere you can wander in without a plan and leave carrying something uniquely beautiful. Seasonal flowers take centre stage, with buckets of stems in soft pastels, vibrant brights, and lush greens creating a constantly changing display. Alongside the florals sits a small but thoughtful range of gift items, making it an easy stop when you’re searching for a present with a truly personal touch.

The team can craft arrangements across a wide spectrum of styles, whether you’re drawn to loose, modern bouquets that feel freshly gathered, or something more classic and structured. Each arrangement is thoughtfully tailored to suit the person and occasion. And because the shop is owner-run with a close-knit team of talented women, the service always feels personal.

Regular customers will also tell you that the flowers from here last, often far longer than expected. It’s the kind of detail that turns a one-off purchase into a favourite local florist. Pop in for a quick posy, a custom bouquet, or simply a chat about flowers, and chances are you’ll leave with something that brightens more than just the room.
