Our Bouquets

A Bouqet of Peonies
Whitsunday Wedding Flowers use only the freshest flowers available for all of our weddings.  To ensure the freshness and quality of our flowers we use air freight to cut down on transit time.

Each wedding is treated individually as every bride is different and has their own dreams and visions for their wedding day.

All of our wedding bouquets are made using the most up to date methods combined with time honored techniques to ensure that your flowers will last the whole day.

Teardrop and trailing bouquets are almost always wired to ensure that your flowers and bouquet keep their shape.  This method also ensures that flowers do not fall out of your bouquet.

Some florists are more interested in getting wedding flowers out the door in the quickest and cheapest way possible.  For decades professional florists have wired flowers used in shaped bouquets.  This technique is where a wire is passed through the base of the flowers and taped with special florist tape.  The florist then makes the desired bouquet shape by placing the flowers into the designed shape and bringing all the wires together.  This time honored method gives the bride a very sturdy and secure bouquet.

Florists who are after the quick and cheap alternative us a ‘bridie holder’.  This is a plastic handle with a cage at the tope that contains green florist foam.  Florists who use this quick method stick the stems of flowers into the foam.  There are two very distinct disadvantages to this method.  Firstly the flowers obviously fall out.  Secondly the green foam that is supposed to hold the flowers into place comes out on the falling flowers stem and marks the bride’s beautiful wedding dress.

When orgainising your wedding flowers always ask the florist if they wire their flowers or do they use bridie holders.

All of our bouquets are finished with ribbon tied around the stems.

Exposed stem bouquets have ribbon wound around the stems under the flowers with the bottom of the stems still exposed.  Wired bouquets will have the whole length of the handle covered with ribbon.

One of our Amazing Bouqets
You can request ribbon to be in your colour of choice or leave it to us to choose a ribbon colour to compliment your bouquet.  Alternatively you may wish to supply your own ribbon that is closely matched to your bridesmaid’s dresses or your wedding colour theme.

The stem ribbon can be finished with pearl pins or a bow, the choice is yours.
