LA FLEURE FLORISTE
SHARING EMOTIONS THROUGH FLOWERS La Fleure Floriste has been creating high quality, innovative and exceptional floral designs for as long as many people can remember. Its present owners are Kim and Luther Toloa whose daughter Melissa Cullen manages La Fleure and is a florist herself. Assisting her are Senior Florists Andrea Wolland and Sarah Kilmister, both of whom have been florists for over 20 years. Both Andrea and Sarah have previously owned florist stores in Masterton. What makes La Fleure stand out, Melissa believes, is the quality of its flowers and the skills of Andrea and Sarah in creating beautiful arrangements with them. Each has their own style. Andrea describes hers as a “classic style with lots of pastels, lilies, that sort of look.” Sarah is “big on colour. I like bold colours, so we complement each other.” La Fleure provides fresh flower arrangements for special occasions such as weddings and
funerals, school balls and anniversaries.
For someone special
I have my international qualifications in beauty therapy. I have been in the industry for a year and a half and absolutely love it. I enjoy making women feel more comfortable in their skin. I find this very satisfying.
But they are just as likely to be for a person’s home, or “just to make someone’s day,” Melissa says. Whatever the reason, flowers are always an expression of an emotion, she observes. “We really care about providing a good service because the business we are in is about dealing with people’s emotions. “Everyone here cares. We are providing a caring service for people’s needs at a moment in time.” All three women agree that what also makes La Fleure a special place to work is their friendships with each other. “It’s a lovely job, one of those nice jobs,” Sarah says. Andrea agrees: “I really enjoy what we do. It is different every day and just helping people.” Another important difference is that La Fleure Floriste is the only Interflora florist in the Wairarapa.

KYLIE PYE - OWNER / HAIRDRESSER
I have been in the industry for 15 years. Ten years of that is owning Hair EFX. I specialise in razor cutting and colouring, but I do enjoy all aspects of my job. The most important factor is listening to my clients and giving them what they ask for. After working part time around my children, I am now working full time Tuesday to Saturday.
