exquisite floral designs
Bayfair Florist was established in the year 2000 by Jean Irvine, a respected and well-known florist in the community. Jean initially operated her florist shop in Mount Maunganui before relocating the business to the newly opened Bayfair Shopping Centre, where she continued to build a loyal customer base.
In 2015, Jean Irvine sold Bayfair Florist to her senior florist, Tessa Blaymires. Tessa took over the business, ensuring continuity and maintaining the strong relationships Jean had established with her loyal customer base. Under Tessa’s leadership, the business underwent another transition, moving from the Bayfair area, to the town of Te Puke.
Despite relocating to Te Puke, which is just a 10-minute drive from Papamoa, Bayfair Florist continues to provide personal delivery services as it always has. Customers from across Tauranga, Mount Maunganui, Papamoa, and Tauranga's Rural areas can still enjoy the fresh flowers and dedicated service Bayfair Florist is known for. The move has also enabled Te Puke to become part of the florist’s expanding service area, ensuring that more communities benefit from the quality and care Bayfair Florist delivers.
Tessa Blaymires is born and raised in Te Puke. She was brought up in Pongakawa where her family have lived for over 100 years. Her parents moved to Papamoa Hills and started “Looking Glass Garden” Tessa started her floristry career by working with industry figure, Penny Trubshaw. Tessa was with Jean Irvine at Bayfair Florist for several years before buying the business, Tessa is committed to continuing to serve the many loyal clients that have relied on the company for years.
