Australian Christmas flowers – The Fifth Avenue Florist way

In Australia, there is no doubt about it; our Christmas’s are celebrated a little bit differently than the typical snow falling, fireplace and mulled wine setting we often see.

It’s more likely that we celebrate with a crisp bottle of Sauvignon Blanc, a cold beer (or two) and some fresh seafood with pavlova for dessert. Wouldn’t it be great to add a bouquet of flowers to the Christmas spread this year?

Stunning Christmas flowers

Our beautiful range of specially hand-picked fresh flower arrangements makes stunning Christmas gifts.

Or, a beautiful feature in any living space; A Christmas table centrepiece can add a pop of colour and personality.

Our Australian Christmas flowers collection has officially dropped! We have put together some varieties for people to send and receive fresh flowers. We deliver all around the Gold Coast, with same-day delivery available (except on Sundays).

A couple of our favourite Australian Christmas flower bouquets for the season are:

“Native Spirit florals”

Mixed with bright, fresh native florals and delicate leafy greens, this arrangement is perfect to brighten up any space!

Perfect for sending to loved ones, work colleagues, and friends.

This arrangement is sure to add a burst of Australian summer colours to all settings.

“Have a Merry Little Christmas”

Mixed with the Christmas palate of traditional reds, greens, and whites.

The sentimental feeling of the bouquet makes it ideal for sending to loved ones or people who celebrate Christmas in a traditional way.

“Star Bright”

Combined with Christmas pinecones, seasonal lilies and leafy greens, this festive bunch is more on the contemporary side of a Summer Christmas in Australia.

This contemporary bouquet is suited for the beachside dweller, friends, family or coworkers who seem to live by the ocean side.

“Forever Merry”

Quite like the name, this dried flower bunch is will last a while. This bouquet is contemporary and great for the minimalist in your life. As dried flowers have a longer life span, these blooms will be around all Summer.

Ideal for the minimalistic, beach dweller, or for the unique friend.

Not Your Typical Florist

We love getting creative with our vast array of stunning Australian grown flowers and foliage. Lately, we’ve been enjoying adding dried flowers Gold Coast sourced into our beautiful bouquets, and the variety that this brings to our bunches!

While sending flowers is a timeless tradition, and beautiful addition to any special occasion, we love finding the perfect flowers for different occasions.

Sending flowers is a timeless tradition

Dried flowers last 1-3 years, and therefore can remain a more permanent gift or decoration for the recipient! We love hearing stories of how our dried flowers have served as a beautiful souvenir from a special occasion.

So, if you’re looking for a floral gift that will stand out and double as both a stunning bouquet and a gift, our team of not so typical florists are here to help.

Our beautiful team has you covered for any situation. We have a couple of bouquets ready to go, or we make custom arrangements to fit any and all situations. Here are a couple of our favourite flowers for different occasions.

Events Gold Coast and beyond

We are all about making those around us feel special, and what better occasion to do so than for an event? Flowers are often associated with marriage, romance and love, so it’s no surprise that one of our favourite occasions to put our skills to use is for our beautiful client’s weddings.

We know it can be overwhelming to organise an event, especially weddings and celebrations. Our team take the stress out of flower arrangements. We have the experience, flair and passion to create beautiful bouquets.

Check out our previous blog on the arrangements we made for newlywed couple Milly and Scott. They celebrated their wedding in Cabarita, NSW earlier this year.

Flowers are also a beautiful addition to celebrations like baby showers, birthdays, births, business and marriage anniversaries and elopements!

Dried Flowers on Cakes

Although we love our flowers and they are pretty versatile, do not actually eat them. They do, however, make beautiful cake decorations!

Our beautiful flowers are fresh and vibrant, and bring a personal touch to cakes. We love it when vendors such as the beautiful Bvked crew use a few of our fresh or dried flowers Gold Coast for their cakes!

So, let’s talk wedding flowers…

We love, love!

Published 14th July, 2021

There is no doubt about it, a wedding without flowers is like a birthday without cake – even if you decide to elope. Flowers truly are one of the spotlighted aspects of any wedding or celebration of love. Wedding flowers can be a talking point for days, weeks and months after the special day itself.

Our beautiful newlywed couple Milly and Scott tied the knot at Cabarita, NSW. They had a private elopement in August 2020, due to pandemic restrictions and the couple’s desire for an intimate, private celebration.

Milly asked us to organise her bouquet – a combination of soft pink and white roses combined with delicate orchids and some dainty white leaves to pull it all together. Our team relish in the process of creating a bride’s dream wedding florals to match their dreams and wishes.

Elegant, Soft Wedding Flowers

This stunning couple and their elegant bouquet were featured in issue 23 of the Together Journal. The article displayed some beautiful photos from their day, and a small portion about their love story.

Check out a selection of the photos taken by their photographer Tessa on their happy day below.

Bouquets and Flowers for Weddings

We adore helping bring to life bouquets for all occasions. Some of the other gorgeous weddings we have helped with can be found in our weddings gallery.

Whether grand and lavish or small and cosy, we thrive to create beautiful enchanting florals for your special day. There is no limit to our creativity.

Let us help bring your wedding flowers to life for your extraordinary day and contact us on 07 5534 6655 to have a chat.

How to choose flowers for different occasions

Flowers for different occasions

Sending and receiving flowers is a timeless, age-old tradition that can say a lot about a circumstance – we have flowers for different occasions.

How are you supposed to know which ones to send? And when to send them?

Don’t worry! Our beautiful team has you covered for any situation. We have a couple of bouquets ready to go, or we make custom arrangements to fit any and all situations. Here are a couple of our favourite flowers for different occasions.

Celebration Arrangements

Wild and earthy

We are passionate about celebrating big and small wins – from engagements to graduations, or even a promotion at work. Nothing says “we are proud” and “so happy for you”, then our beautiful wild and earthy arrangement.

This stunning bunch is unapologetically full of life with a mix of Australian flowers. Plus, this beautiful bouquet lasts a tad longer than others and can be dried for a lasting memory.

Sympathy Flowers

Sympathy flowers

Unfortunately, we understand – no one wants to send sympathy flowers. It can be really tough to pick arrangements that say “I’m thinking of you”.

Let us help take the guesswork out of the perfect arrangement. Simply, our white lilies are the most common that we send for our clients. Or, if you’re looking for a colourful bouquet, we have a couple of stunning pink lilies and gerberas that have been grown locally

Romance Bouquets

Valentine's Day flowers

Ahh, the traditional romantic flowers. We love, love. Nothing is more traditional than sending a dozen fresh and blooming red roses on Valentine’s day, or on a romantic anniversary. But here at Fifth Avenue Florists, we like to put our own small twist on it – so you can send your own unique version of these traditional bouquets. Our “crazy in love” bouquet is a mix of the traditional 12 red roses and white lily’s. Or the simple dozen red roses mixed with our locally sourced statement foliage, from Big Leaf Bouquet.

Whatever the occasion, we cannot wait to help! 

Please note: Our flowers may vary due to availability or when they do not meet our quality standards. Our aim is to provide the absolute best flowers to bring delight to all our customers.

If you would like to order online check out our other arrangements here, or visit us in-store.

Can’t find what you’re after? No problem, just give us a call on  07 5534 6655 and talk to one of our florists in the store and we can arrange the perfect arrangement for you.

Shop Local to Grow Local

What is ‘shop local to grow local’?

A lot of what we believe in here at Fifth Avenue Florists is laughs, creativity and individuality. To create this environment for our little studio, we need local suppliers so we can keep creating our one of a kind bouquets for any occasion. Although seasons change and customers come and go, we have a commitment to supporting local growers here in Australia, so we shop local.

When you support locally owned businesses, it helps both the local economy and supports employment in the community. This year, the Queensland Government introduced a Go Local, Grow Local initiative. This campaign aims to help local businesses in educating their local community on their services and products. For us here at Fifth Avenue Florist, we not only believe in literally “growing” local, but supporting our local suppliers. 

Go local, Grow local

So what does this really mean?

Numerous studies support that by spending $100 at a local business, on average 58% of your spent money gets regenerated through that community! That is in comparison to if you spent the money at a multinational corporation.

Some of the local suppliers we use are:

Bigleaf Boutique.

Large-palms-from-Bigleaf-Boutique

Run by Jony and Jo, Bigleaf Boutique is located in a secluded part of the Byron Bay hinterlands. This beautiful business specialises in growing GIANT foliage and creating tropical installations for any occasion. Luckily for us, this means they help bring to life our beautiful arrangements from season to season. 

Currey Flowers

Imagine a full, blooming greenhouse that is filled with beautiful roses and gerberas. One of our favourite suppliers, Currey Flowers, is a family-owned and operated Australian business. This beautiful business has been producing premium-quality flowers for over 45 years!

How to support and shop local

So, whether you’re a local simply having a browse, or you’re purchasing flowers for a special occasion, thank you for supporting us so we can keep supporting our local community.

Locally grown Australian flowers from us to you…

Locally grown Australian flowers

We love getting creative with our vast array of stunning Australian grown flowers and foliage. Our customers often tell us that they admire the backstory behind their blooms too; that knowing the story about where, how and who grows their flowers creates an even greater appreciation for them.

So … where, how and who?

Our foliage is grown by Jony & Jo over at Bigleaf Boutique. From a secluded hamlet in the Byron Bay hinterland, their abundance of giant plants and colourful tropical blooms is a sight to behold!

They specialise in creating tropical installations for any occasion. From weddings to corporate events, window installations to film sets. Whatever you can dream up for your event, they can bring to life.

The reason chrysanthemums are the traditional flowers for Mother’s Day is kind of cute

In many parts of the world, carnations are considered the tradition flowers for mothers, but here in Australia it is Chrysanthemums that are considered the traditional Mother’s Day flower because they end with the word ‘mum’!

I know, kind of cute!

Chrysanthemums are in almost every bouquet of flowers we lovingly craft.

Hope all of that helps!
