What makes a standout Christmas wreath?

Here are some tips you can use (and discuss with Azalea) to make sure your wreath is high-quality and fitting for the season.

1. Base & structure

• Choose a sturdy ring base, whether foam, vine, or metal, that will support heavier foliage and decorations.
• Ensure the size fits your door or display area.
• At a premium florist like Azalea, you can ask for a professional base to ensure longevity.

2. Use seasonal foliage & texture

• Incorporate a mix of evergreen foliage (pine and cedar), textured leaves (eucalyptus, banksia) and seasonal berries or seed pods.
• Azalea’s specialise in native foliage and blooms, which can give a distinctive Australian twist rather than the typical northern-hemisphere pine only. Azalea Flowers+1
• Vary heights and textures so the wreath doesn’t look flat—it should invite you to look close up and enjoy the details.

3. Colour palette & accents

• Decide on a palette: classic (green + red + gold), contemporary (silver + white + green), or native (greens + muted berries + natural seed pods).
• Azalea’s Christmas collection suggests they can provide trees, wreaths and gifts styled for the season. Azalea Flowers
• Ask for accents that won’t fade quickly in Melbourne summer/early summer conditions.

4. Plan for durability

• Because we’re in Melbourne, it can get warm choose foliage that holds up.
• Ask your florist for maintenance tips (e.g., brushing off dust, protecting from direct afternoon sun).
• Azalea’s blog shows they care about longevity of floral arrangements. Azalea Flowers

5. Personal touches

• Perhaps include a monogram, a ribbon in your preferred colour, or a special ornament that complements your home.
• With a boutique florist like Azalea, you can discuss customisation and bespoke options.

How to work with Azalea Flowers for your wreath

Here’s a step-by-step suggestion of how to engage them successfully:

1. Visit or call the stall/shop
• Make a quick appointment if you want a customised wreath.
• Provide them with your preferred door/wall size, your style direction (classic, native, modern), and budget.
2. Choose your style
• Review their Christmas collection online and onsite.
• Show photos if you have inspiration (Pinterest, Instagram).
• Ask what seasonal foliage they currently have—since Azalea emphasises what’s in season.
3. Set your budget & timeframe
• Because it’s Christmas, stock will sell fast—booking early is wise.
• Ask how early the wreath is made, and if it will arrive in peak condition.
4. Care & maintenance advice
• Ask for tips on how to display it (which side of the door/window, away from direct sun/heaters etc.).
• If there are fresh elements, ask if any re-hydration or misting is needed.
• If it has many seed pods or native elements, ask about shedding (some natives drop bits).
5. Delivery or pickup
• If you’re in Melbourne, check delivery options; Azalea offers Melbourne-wide delivery. Azalea Flowers+1
• If picking up, choose a cooler part of the day so it stays fresh.

Sample checklist for your perfect wreath

• Style: Classic / Native / Modern
• Foliage mix: evergreen, native leaves, berries/seed pods
• Accent colours: (e.g., gold + burgundy)

Caring for Your Bouquets, Arrangements & Cut Flowers – Azalea Flowers South Melbourne

There’s nothing quite like receiving a beautiful bouquet or floral arrangement. At Azalea Flowers South Melbourne, we believe flowers are more than just a gift – they’re a way of sharing love, joy, and connection. To help you enjoy your blooms for as long as possible, we’ve put together some expert tips on how to care for your bouquets, arrangements, and cut flowers.

Caring for Fresh Bouquets

A freshly made bouquet from Azalea Flowers South Melbourne is designed to delight from the very first moment. With a little extra care, you can extend its beauty:

1. Trim the stems – Cut 2–3 cm off the stems at a sharp angle before placing in water. This helps the flowers absorb water more efficiently.
2. Use clean vases – Always place your bouquet in a thoroughly cleaned vase to prevent bacteria.
3. Change the water regularly – Refresh the water every 2 days and trim the stems slightly each time.
4. Keep away from direct heat – Avoid placing your flowers near heaters, air conditioners, or direct sunlight.

Caring for Floral Arrangements

If you’ve received one of our designer floral arrangements in foam or a container, a little care will help it last longer:

• Top up with water daily – Add a small amount of fresh water to the floral foam or container to keep it moist.
• Remove wilted blooms – Gently remove any flowers as they begin to fade. This allows the other blooms to continue shining.
• Position wisely – Display arrangements in a cool area of your home or office, away from draughts or harsh light.

Caring for Cut Flowers

If you’re buying cut flowers from our South Melbourne florist to arrange yourself, here’s how to keep them looking fresh:

1. Prep your stems – Remove any leaves that would sit below the water line to reduce bacterial growth.
2. Use flower food – If supplied, dissolve the sachet of flower food in the water for added nourishment.
3. Refresh water & stems – Change the vase water every 2 days and re-cut stems for maximum vase life.
4. Mix carefully – Some flowers, like daffodils, release sap that can shorten the life of other blooms. Keep them in a separate vase for the first 24 hours.

Extra Tips from Our Qualified Florists

Our qualified designer florists in South Melbourne recommend these extra touches:

• Mist delicate flowers lightly with water to keep them hydrated.
• Keep your flowers away from fruit bowls – ripening fruit releases ethylene gas that shortens bloom life.
• For roses, remove guard petals (the outer petals) to help the bloom open beautifully.
