Planning a winter wedding or event in Brisbane or the Gold Coast? July might bring cooler temps, but the flowers available this time of year are nothing short of stunning. At Stem Design, we love working with in-season blooms that thrive in the Queensland climate—ensuring your arrangements look fresh, full, and fabulous.

WHY CHOOSE SEASONAL FLOWERS?

Seasonal flowers are not only more affordable, but they’re also fresher and easier to source. Choosing blooms that are in their prime means longer-lasting arrangements and a smaller carbon footprint, too.

JULY FLOWERS THAT SHINE

Here are some of the standout seasonal stars we love using in our floral styling for July weddings and events:

Cymbidium Orchids
Elegant, hardy, and rich in colour, cymbidiums are perfect for statement arrangements or refined bridal bouquets. Their structural shape adds a sophisticated touch to winter florals.

Tulips
Yes, tulips! They’re at their peak in winter and bring soft charm and texture to any design. They come in dreamy pastels and bold hues, ideal for anything from minimalist to romantic themes.

Camellias
These winter bloomers offer a vintage garden feel with their lush, rose-like blooms. They’re gorgeous in centrepieces and bouquets and pair beautifully with eucalyptus and berries.

Hyacinths and Jonquils
These smaller, fragrant blooms are perfect for adding dimension and perfume to a bouquet. Great for layering in textures and creating that whimsical “just picked” look.

Hellebores (Winter Rose)
Hellebores are a winter favourite—moody, romantic, and perfect for modern arrangements. They come in muted tones like deep plum, cream, and soft pink.

Magnolia Foliage
For something dramatic and elegant, magnolia leaves add the perfect contrast with their dark glossy green tops and velvety brown undersides—ideal for both bouquets and installations.

FLORAL STYLING IN COOLER MONTHS

Winter weddings and events often lean toward cosy, luxe palettes—think deep burgundy, creamy whites, dusty pinks, and rich greens. At Stem Design, we love creating arrangements that work with the season and your vision, whether you’re after soft and romantic or bold and sculptural.
