This is why people get married in Port Douglas!
We were so thrilled to be asked to supply the flowers for Vicky and Paul’s Port Douglas Wedding – a wonderful couple and AMAZING photography from Tracey at Azure Photography based in Kuranda.
Vicky chose a posy of white roses surrounded with fern to tie in with Paul’s fab buttonhole….

No flowers in this pool shot, but we had to show you as it’s awesome!
Buttonholes for the Groom
It can be tricky trying to come up with the right buttonhole for the groom, but Vicky and Paul had the perfect solution when they married recently in Port Douglas – a native fern all the way from New Zealand. The perfect reminder of home…

Using parsley as wedding bouquet foliage
Yes it sounds rather strange: using parsley as foliage for your wedding bouquet. But the bright leaves add a splash of color and unique texture. The idea is nothing new; brides in ancient Greece often carried a mix of herbs and blossoms designed with specific meanings and intentions, and modern-day brides like Dee from Sydney are rediscovering the beauty, significance and durability of herbs in their wedding arrangements.
Using white ginger in a wedding bouquet
White ginger (Hedychium coronarium) is a perennial plant native to countries in the southern Asian region such as Nepal, eastern India, Vietnam and Indonesia. The delicate white flowers are extremely fragrant and look stunning in a tropical bouquet.

Planning a wedding from afar
Planning a wedding in Port Douglas when you live in Sydney can be a little tricky, and our bride Melissa was a little apprehensive about ordering her flowers over the phone and via email. Fortunately, we’re great listeners and she was delighted with the final product. She was also a pleasure to deal with – thanks so much for choosing Floral Edge!
“Michele – you were so fabulous to work with. I can’t believe what beautiful flower arrangements you put together for the bridal party and reception. You obviously can understand a brief via email! When planning a wedding from interstate there is always the worry people may not understand what you’re looking for but I can say you all completely nailed it. It made our day, we had nothing to worry about and just had the best time.”
Decorating your wedding reception venue
Incorporating your wedding bouquets into your bridal table is a great way to get the most out of your blooms and let your floral theme and colour scheme flow through to your reception.
Wedding table centrepieces Port Douglas-style
While you never want to take too much focus away from the happy couple, nothing adds more sparkle to a reception or bridal table than exquisite flowers.
For this gorgeous wedding, we lined fishbowls with Monsteria leaf, and added three types of roses – Honeymoon (creamy beige), Bianca Candy (pale pink) and Cezanne (pale pink and green) Ecuador Roses. Vibernum foliage and green trick really brought out the beautiful blooms.
