Willow & Peony
Ivy Diao, founder of Willow & Peony, boutique florist in Auckland

Our story

It began with a single rose called Blue Moon

Ivy’s passion for flowers blossomed back in 2012 with her first rose, the beautiful Blue Moon, planted in a small garden that quickly became a sanctuary. From that moment on, flowers were more than just decoration — they were a way to celebrate life’s most meaningful moments.

From classic blooms to artistic arrangements, Willow & Peony offers more than just flowers — an experience tailored to you, making every moment truly special.

“I’m dedicated to crafting premium, bespoke floral designs that are as unique and refined as the people they’re made for — not only visually stunning, but deeply personal and meaningful.”

— Ivy, founder & lead florist

How we work

Romantic

Soft, feminine and artfully composed — premium seasonal blooms with layered, refined palettes.

Considered

Every design starts with your venue, your light, your day — flowers that belong to the room they're in.

Personal

A boutique studio, one florist's eye — from first hello to the last bloom packed away.

With a focus on luxury and personalised service, Ivy’s mission is to create floral designs that bring joy and beauty to every occasion — whether that’s a wedding, a corporate event, or a custom arrangement made for someone special. Email hello@willowandpeony.co.nz or start an enquiry any time.
