Sydney’s florists need more than a brochure online. Modern flower delivery demands real-time inventory, payment processing, delivery scheduling, and the ability to wow customers with beautiful presentation—all integrated seamlessly.

We built a demo website for Blooms & Petals Flower Shop using Nuxt.js, a sophisticated Vue.js framework perfect for full-stack web applications. The result? An elegant, interactive website with rose pink and lavender accents, a gorgeous product catalog, shopping cart, and delivery management system that makes ordering flowers as beautiful as the arrangements themselves.

Rose Pink & Lavender: Floral Elegance

Flower shops need websites that are as beautiful and romantic as the arrangements themselves. We designed an elegant color palette that evokes romance, nature, and sophistication.

Primary Colors:

  • Rose Pink (#e91e63) - romance, elegance, classic flowers
  • Dusty Rose (#d946aa) - warm sophistication
  • Lavender (#c084fc) - calm, creativity, luxury
  • Light Lavender (#e9d5ff) - soft backgrounds, elegance
  • Deep Plum (#6b21a8) - authority, depth

Accent Colors:

  • Cream (#faf8f5) - purity, natural elegance
  • Sage Green (#6b7280) - nature, freshness of stems and leaves
  • Gold (#d4af37) - premium touches, special occasions

Why rose pink and lavender?

These colors communicate:

  • Pink - Romance, femininity, love, classic florals
  • Lavender - Luxury, creativity, calm elegance
  • Together - Premium floral artistry with emotional resonance

Think of high-end florists, romantic occasions, luxury gift delivery—this palette captures that perfectly.

Typography:

  • Headings: Plus Jakarta Sans (elegant, modern, romantic)
  • Body: Inter (highly readable, sophisticated)

Vue.js Components for Interactive Products

Nuxt.js leverages Vue.js components for beautiful interactivity:


<template>
  <div class="product-card">
    <div class="image-gallery">
      <img :src="selectedImage" :alt="product.name" />
      <div class="thumbnails">
        <img
          v-for="(image, i) in product.images"
          :key="i"
          :src="image"
          @click="selectedImage = image"
          :class="{ active: selectedImage === image }"
        />
      </div>
    </div>

    <h2>{{ product.name }}</h2>
    <p class="description">{{ product.description }}</p>

    <div class="pricing">
      <span class="price">${{ product.price }}</span>
      <span v-if="product.discount" class="original">${{ product.original }}</span>
    </div>

    <div class="size-selector">
      <label>Choose Size:</label>
      <button
        v-for="size in product.sizes"
        :key="size.id"
        @click="selectedSize = size"
        :class="{ selected: selectedSize?.id === size.id }"
      >
        {{ size.name }} (+${{ size.priceAdd }})
      </button>
    </div>

    <button @click="addToCart" class="add-to-cart">Add to Cart</button>
  </div>
</template>

<script setup>
import { ref, computed } from 'vue'
import { useCart } from '~/composables/useCart'

const props = defineProps(['product'])
const { addItem } = useCart()

const selectedImage = ref(props.product.images[0])
const selectedSize = ref(props.product.sizes[0])

const addToCart = () => {
  addItem({
    ...props.product,
    selectedSize: selectedSize.value,
    image: selectedImage.value
  })
}
</script>

<style scoped>
.product-card {
  @apply bg-white rounded-lg shadow-lg p-6;
}

.image-gallery {
  @apply mb-4;
}

.price {
  @apply text-2xl font-bold text-rose-pink;
}

.add-to-cart {
  @apply bg-rose-pink text-white px-6 py-3 rounded-lg hover:bg-dusty-rose transition;
}
</style>

This Vue component handles product images, size selection, pricing, and cart management—all interactive without page reloads.

Server-Side API Routes

Nuxt handles backend API routes alongside frontend code:

// server/api/cart.post.ts
export default defineEventHandler(async (event) => {
  const body = await readBody(event)

  // Calculate total
  const total = body.items.reduce((sum, item) => {
    return sum + (item.price * item.quantity)
  }, 0)

  // Check inventory
  const inventory = await db.checkInventory(body.items)

  if (!inventory.inStock) {
    throw createError({
      statusCode: 400,
      statusMessage: 'Some items are out of stock'
    })
  }

  // Create order
  const order = await db.createOrder({
    items: body.items,
    total,
    customer: body.customer,
    deliveryDate: body.deliveryDate
  })

  return { orderId: order.id, total }
})

Same JavaScript knowledge for frontend and backend—faster development, easier maintenance.

Real-Time Inventory & Delivery

Nuxt integrates with inventory and delivery systems:

// composables/useAvailability.ts
export const useAvailability = () => {
  const availableDates = ref([])
  const selectedDate = ref(null)

  const checkDeliveryDates = async (suburb) => {
    const response = await $fetch('/api/delivery-dates', {
      query: { suburb, today: new Date() }
    })
    availableDates.value = response.dates
  }

  const checkInventory = async (productIds, date) => {
    const response = await $fetch('/api/inventory', {
      method: 'POST',
      body: { productIds, date }
    })
    return response.available
  }

  return { availableDates, selectedDate, checkDeliveryDates, checkInventory }
}

Customers see real availability for their suburb and delivery date.
