“Corporate flowers and corporate gift baskets are an important part of my growing business, but I love working with flowers for all occasions,” said Jan Hughes, owner of Blooms Beserk. “In England I trained as a nurse and as a florist. As a nurse I saw what it meant to patients to be given flowers, so when I came to New Zealand I decided to open a floristry business.”

Varied styles for corporate flowers Corporate flowers offer a particular challenge which Jan especially enjoys. Having to supply new flowers every week to corporate businesses means that she varies the style and colour of the arrangements she supplies.
Flowers for special occasions Jan also enjoys designing floral arrangements for weddings, dinners and funerals using her customers’ preferences for colours and styles.
Silk Flowers In addition to the fresh flowers Blooms Beserk has a wide range of high quality silk flowers. I had to be told which display featured the silk flowers and which featured the fresh ones. You can order an arrangement of silk flowers only or a combination of silk and fresh flowers.

Gift baskets for corporate or individual customers Jan has widened the scope of Blooms Beserk to include gift baskets for corporate or individual customers. Her special skills in designing arrangements are used to highlight baskets containing cosmetics, or food, champagne or flowers or teddy bears – or a combination. The content of the baskets is chosen to fit the customer’s budget, likes and dislikes. It can all be done through the website.
Christmas gifts At Christmas Jan specialises in Christmas baskets, picnic baskets and Christmas hampers. Basic items like crackers, cheese, chutney, jam, chocolates, mints and festive paper napkins are available and a range of delicacies can be added as you choose. Alcohol can be purchased as an addition to the basket. You may like to purchase a Bolly Basket – an ice bucket with a bottle of Bollinger French champagne.
