About

Overview & Vibe

Florist on David has traded from David Street in Newstead since 1993 - more than three decades, locally owned, staffed by fully qualified florists. It calls itself a funky, modern boutique, and it is a proper working shop: weddings sit alongside everyday bouquets, corporate arrangements, sympathy work, native ranges, preserved roses and even Tasmanian hardwood pieces made by one of the staff. Flowers come in fresh from local growers, and the shop is direct about what that means - buy here and you are supporting a local business and local growers.

Style & Signature Blooms

Classic and generous, with more range than the shopfront suggests. The published wedding designs run from an all-white dome of roses and chrysanthemums to a blue orchid and white lily drop, an autumn bouquet of orange chrysanthemum and red rose, a lime green and white arrangement, and a bright red gerbera posy. Roses in every form - spray, red, white - are the backbone, with oriental lilies, orchids, carnations and peonies appearing by name across the range.

Ideal For

Couples marrying in and around Launceston who want to choose a style by looking at it rather than describing it. The shop publishes a 39-design wedding library covering bridal and bridesmaid posies, drop bouquets, flower girl baskets, buttonholes, three wrist corsages, cake flowers and cake toppers. It suits a couple who would rather walk in, point at something, and talk about changing the colours.

The Need-to-Knows

It is a walk-in shop, not a by-appointment studio - open Monday to Friday, 8.15am to 5.30pm, with extended hours around Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day. Wedding work is quoted, so bring your date and your colours. Retail terms are published: prices include GST, cancellations cost a $10 administrative fee and need 24 hours’ notice, seasonal substitutions are made to the same value, and there is a satisfaction guarantee if anything goes wrong.

Standout Feature

The delivery table is the most detailed in this directory, and it is genuinely useful if your guests or your ceremony are spread across the north. Launceston and twenty named suburbs go out on a 2pm cut-off; the West and East Tamar - Legana, Grindelwald, Exeter, Beauty Point, Dilston, Hillwood, George Town - need the order in by 10am; the Northern Midlands and Meander Valley are covered by name; and the run reaches all the way along the north-west coast to Devonport, Ulverstone and Burnie on a 9am cut-off. Every town is named, with its own deadline.
