Fantastic experience: As I posted on Katrina and Jasmine's Sentiments FB page. We had, as it happens in or lives, the sudden passing of a beloved family member. My wife's father passed away, and his memorial was earlier today. Unbeknownst to me New Zealand was honoring Anzac Day yesterday, so most shops were closed or on limited hours. Being one day behind, here in Canada yet! I didn't know if we would be able to have a flower arrangement delivered, on time for his memorial service. {Sentiments} Florist Katrina and Jasmine were able to successfully deliver that, with short notice, on time, from thousands of miles distance! Thé most lovely, gorgeous arrangement. To me, the best looking and memorable arrangement amongst all of the rest! Thank you Katrina and Jasmine so very very much!

Fantastic experience: I ordered an arrangement from Sentiment Flowers this morning and within 2 hours they were delivered to my daughter in the maternity ward. She was delighted. The flowers were a truly amazing selection called the Joyful Colour Arrangement and they certainly did bring her great joy. I was very appreciative of all aspects of the Sentiments Flowers service.
Fantastic experience: I ordered the Feminine Beauty Blooms Bouquet for my nana. The flowers are stunning and she was very happy with them. (She is also picky with her flowers so you did well ) and as I am currently overseas it was a very easy process. Will definitely use these ladies again. ❤️

Fantastic experience: Beautiful flower arrangements and awesome service. We no longer live in New Plymouth but this is our go to florist shop when sending gifts to family/friends still there. Highly recommend!
Negative experience: Unfortunately they don’t send a photo of the flowers (this is usual service from other florists I’ve used) and they don’t have a system to let you know if order delivered (I followed up to ask). Can’t rate higher as sadly I don’t know if the flowers matched the online photo or not which is very disappointing (they didn’t respond when I asked). Able to give 2 stars as I know something was delivered on the right date ($14 delivery fee).
Fantastic experience: I have been using Sentiments Flowers for over fifteen years now, and their service is first class. I live in the Highlands of Scotland so I cannot take flowers for myself, I trust them implicitly and always get a nice photo emailed to me. Arlene
Fantastic experience: Amazing florist for local delivery. I’m overseas and wanted to surprise my mum who lives in New Plymouth for her bday. Amazing service couldn’t be happier
Fantastic experience: We are based in Europe and wanted a New Plymouth-based florist to deliver locally. Sentiments provided an excellent service. Very easy to navigate online. They also provide a same day delivery service. The flowers arrived with no problems and were exquisite and well-presented. Would use them again for sure.

Fantastic experience: Very highly recommended.. I had issues with Rural Delivery Contractor leaving Mother Day flowers from my daughter in our Rural letterbox .. pushed in , as our letterbox is about 1/2 km away from house.. I was so upset and disgusted. Rang Sentiments and explained what happened and they were so awesome I had another beautiful bunch delivered personally on Mother’s Day to our home . The delivery really had nothing to do with them but they made one Mum extremely happy and thankful for there thoughtfulness and compassion.
Fantastic experience: Sentiments provided me with a truly breathtaking bridal bouquet for my elopement. Beyond that, their Kiwi hospitality and family values assured me that getting married in New Zealand was the perfect decision.
