Flowers for every occasion

Not sure what flowers to choose, or when to order them? You’re not alone. Whether it’s a wedding, birthday, or a last-minute same-day delivery, knowing what works (and what doesn’t) can make all the difference.
At Izimbali Florist, we work with flowers every single day, across weddings, celebrations, corporate events, and life’s more delicate moments. This guide breaks down exactly what to order, when to order it, and how to get the most value out of your flowers, no matter the occasion.
From choosing the right blooms to simple tips that make your arrangement feel more premium (without blowing your budget), consider this your go-to flower guide for every moment that matters.
Weddings
Order 4–6 weeks ahead. Best flowers: roses, peonies, proteas, fynbos, ranunculus, eucalyptus, orchids. Budget tip: focus on the bridal bouquet and ceremony backdrop; use greenery and candles for tables. We offer full consultation, custom arrangement, same-day setup, and coordination.
We offer a Free Wedding Flower consultation for your wedding being held anywhere in KZN, South Africa
Mother’s Day — 11 May 2026
Pre-order by 8 May. Best flowers: pink roses, lilies, gerberas, proteas, mixed seasonal bouquets. Add a small extra — chocolates, a candle — to make the bouquet feel like a complete gift. Mother’s Day is our busiest day of the year; early ordering guarantees the best result.
Birthdays
Available same-day for orders before 11 AM. Best flowers: personalised by birth month flower or personality type. A single-variety arrangement (all sunflowers, all gerberas) looks abundant without the cost of a mixed design.
Condolences and Sympathy
Order as soon as possible after receiving news. Best flowers: white lilies, white roses, chrysanthemums, orchids. Send a bouquet to the family home; a standing wreath to the service. We handle every sympathy order with care and discretion.
Corporate Events and Client Gifting
Order 2–3 weeks ahead for events; standing subscriptions available. Best flowers: architectural arrangements in brand colours; orchids for executive gifting. Subscriptions offer the best value for ongoing office florals. Dedicated corporate accounts available.
Anniversaries
Same-day available; custom designs need 1–2 days. Best flowers: roses in your partner’s preferred colour; orchids for milestone anniversaries. Personal touch: include the flower from your wedding bouquet.
Get Well Soon
Same-day available. Best flowers: bright, cheerful arrangements — sunflowers, gerberas, mixed colour bouquets. Tip: avoid heavily scented flowers like lilies for hospital rooms.
New Baby
Same-day available. Best flowers: soft pastels — peach, blush, lemon, or white. Carnations and sweet peas work beautifully.
