Meet our owner
Hi, I’m Marie, the heart behind Florist Ilene.
I’ve always loved working with flowers and being part of life’s special moments. There’s something truly special about creating arrangements that bring joy, comfort, and connection to others.
With over 25 years of experience, I hold my Senior Florist qualification through NZPF, and I’m incredibly passionate about what I do.
Florist Ilene isn’t just another florist store it’s a close-knit team made up of friends and family. That’s what makes us different. We genuinely care about each other, and we care about every customer who chooses us.
Every bouquet we create is made with love, attention to detail, and the intention of making someone’s day just that little bit brighter.
Welcome to Florist Ilene , your trusted local florist in Hamilton, creating beautiful flowers and thoughtful gifts for every occasion.
