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).

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:

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.

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.

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).

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.
