EDIBLE FLOWERS AND WHERE TO BUY THEM

Edible flowers are one of the most elegant and creative ways to elevate your next event. Whether you’re planning a whimsical wedding, a modern corporate function, or a private dinner party, edible blooms add both beauty and a burst of flavour. At Stem Design, your trusted wedding florist Brisbane, we love incorporating these floral delights into our styling – and they’re just as tasty as they are stunning.
WHAT ARE EDIBLE FLOWERS?
Edible flowers are exactly what they sound like—flowers that are safe to eat and often used to decorate cakes, cocktails, salads, and even main dishes. Common favourites include pansies, nasturtiums, violets, borage, calendula, marigold, and of course, rose petals. Each flower brings its own unique colour, fragrance, and flavour profile, from peppery and citrusy to sweet and floral.
They not only enhance the sensory experience of food and drinks but also tie beautifully into a cohesive floral theme—especially for weddings and high-end events.
WHERE TO BUY EDIBLE FLOWERS IN BRISBANE
If you’re wondering where to find edible flowers in Brisbane, Harris Farm Markets is a fantastic place to start. Known for their premium produce and specialty items, Harris Farm offers pre-packaged edible flower mixes, often sourced from local Australian growers. These are perfect for at-home chefs or caterers looking to add a gourmet touch to dishes.
Other options include:
- Local organic grocers and farmers’ markets
- Specialist suppliers for restaurants and caterers
- Direct from some boutique flower farms with edible certifications
Just ensure you’re sourcing organically grown, untreated flowers—never use flowers from florists unless they’re clearly marked as edible and chemical-free.

HOW WE USE EDIBLE FLOWERS AT STEM DESIGN
At Stem Design, we love using edible flowers for:
- Wedding cake decoration – fresh blooms delicately placed for a soft, romantic feel
- Cocktail garnishes – perfect for signature drinks and champagne towers
- Table styling – scattered petals or plated flower garnishes that match the florals in the event space
- Grazing boards – edible flowers pair beautifully with fruits and cheeses at wedding receptions or corporate launches
If you’re a Brisbane bride or event planner looking for something extra special, edible flowers can be the final touch that ties your theme together—while delighting guests in more ways than one.
