“I just love how every
flower can compliment each other in different ways. You can change a few
colours in an arrangement and get a completely new look."
- Kalli Samaras
Centennial Florist Employee
My visit to Centennial Florist this past weekend solidified
just how true that quote from Kalli, (a florist since her early teens) is in the
flower world. When you allow Centennial to cater for your floral needs, they
take the time to arrange the perfect bouquet for each person and every
occasion.
You can expect chic colour combinations, unique Natives, weekly ever-changing floral specials and a range of versatile and non-typical flowers for single purchase or use in a bouquet. The educated florist team gives you their recommendations on colour scheme and aesthetics, but if you ever get the chance to let them run free and experiment to find a perfect, unexpected assortment, you’ll never be let down. You can find their daily updates we all need in our lives on their Instagram @CentennialFlorist.

Centennial, being a family owned business for over 70 years
here in Adelaide, know their clients personally, and know what they want. That’s
how they’re able to deliver such a wide selection of fresh and colourful
products, and on request, right to your doorstep. Opening in 1938, the shop used to
be a house, something you’ll instantly pick up on from the interior, but you’ll
be surprised to know there was a stable out the back as well!

I asked how Centennial is fairing against the opening of the
corporate owned flower shop down the road in Pasadena Shopping Centre.
Unsurprisingly, they’re not worried. They know that large companies can afford
to run at a loss, a luxury that locally owned and operated South Australian
businesses cannot do. But Centennial is known as ‘The Florist of The South’, a
title they hold close to their hearts, and they know that a personalised family
touch and customer service that is second to none, is all they need to compete
in the flower market.
Being in a perfect location at 653 Goodwood Road,
Panorama, across from the Centennial Cemetery, Centennial Florist provides for
all occasions. Next time there’s a Birthday, Farewell, Congratulations, or just
picking up something for you Mother or Missus on the way home, Centennial has
you covered. Especially when you take into account that they’re open every day
of the year!
