Here is an example of a floral arrangement for a signing table we did recently. The bride wanted the flowers to be the main thing, overflowing and full, and in colours to compliment her bouquet.

This is is in the same style as can be used for floral arbours. We are also able to make the arrangement so that it can be used as an arbour and then taken down to use for the bridal table. This can help to save on costs, for the budget conscious.

If you are getting married on the Gold Coast and are looking for a Florist, or for any other occasion, contact us and see what we can do.

A Gold Coast Florist talks about Roses and Fragrance

There is a misconception among many people we speak with who come into our studio, that roses these days are devoid of any fragrance. While this is often the case, there are some wonderful varieties that produce scent, and some, to an astounding degree.

‘Cottage’ style roses are the most likely to satisfy your aroma-craving senses. With many in shades of white, pink, and apricot, showing off a heady, traditional old-world rose scent. There are also some standard size blooms that produce a more subtle, yet sweet fragrance.

Also, there are some varieties of what we call ‘cluster’ roses, which yield soft to strong perfume (The darker magenta-pink roses in the picture below are an example of these).

So, if you are seeking fragrant roses, please ask us – and we’ll see what we can find for you. (But do give us some days notice for specific things.)

We recommend locally grown roses for the best fragrances – however there are some imported varieties that do still carry a scent.

Sunflowers have been growing in popularity recently, and we’ve noticed more and more of you are asking for them. Which is great! We love sunflowers too.

We try to stock them every week, but don’t have them all the time. If you would like us to keep some aside for you, let us know the week before you will need them. Sunflowers usually come in on a Monday (but not always, sometimes they come on other days too, so just let us know what is best for you.)

Some things to keep in mind when ordering sunflowers:

– Sunflowers often come in tight, still to open up. So they might look like green buds for a few days. If you need them to be open or opening, you will need to let us know ahead of time by a few days.
– Sunflower stems are soft and go yukky quickly in water. Make sure you re-cut the stems every other day and change the water to keep the water and the sunflowers fresh.Jute bag florals. Yellow, orange, red. Gold Coast delivery.

Some beautiful tones that are getting chosen more often over the last year are burgundy with complimentary colours. Burgundy can look especially striking with deep pink. It can look very elegant with ivory, and rustic when paired with wildflowers. It is a deep, enthralling and moody colour, but never overwhelms if cleverly offset.

We’re often asked “What’s the appropriate thing to send for a sympathy?”.

These days, there really is no specific ‘correct thing’ in terms of flowers, unless the family or individual is known to have a specific preference or dislike of certain blooms.

If in doubt, white and green is always classic, and doesn’t have to be ‘dull and boring’ as is sometimes assumed. We use a lovely selection of blooms of different sizes and textures. But, something colourful is often a lovely idea too, as you are celebrating the life of a person, which is a beautiful, many faceted thing.

Browse through our sympathy collection for more ideas.
