The team at Bella Floral Boutique pride themselves on excellent customer service.

While owner Carmen Wells describes her personal style as colourful and modern, being a small town florist, she is acutely aware that the business must be able to cater to a range of individual needs and tastes. All the florists at Bella Floral Boutique are encouraged to pursue and work to their own unique styles, ensuring that customers have a wide variety of flowers and styles available to them at all times.

The talented team are not only passionate about their work, they also have a genuine desire to help customers and see them through the circumstances which have brought them to the store. It is this winning combination which has helped the business to thrive and secured the Fresh Award for Service Excellence.

Capitalising on a great street frontage, it is difficult to pass The Flower Room’s bold, interesting and creative window displays on Newtown’s King Street without being drawn in. Owner Wayne Phan’s rustic, natural and earthy style is reflected both inside and outside the store, which is brimming with character and charm.

An eclectic array of seasonal blossoms, pods, branches and greenery creates a lovely space that fills the senses. This combined with a high level of customer service and high quality products make a visit to The Flower Room an experience in itself, and the store a deserving winner of the Retail Presentation award.

Demonstrating superb product knowledge and an exceptional level of service, Native Botanical shines as the winner of the Knowledge in Action award.
