Why Australian Native Flowers Make a Beautiful Choice for Weddings

There is a certain timeless quality to Australian native flowers. They're wild, textural, quietly dramatic and full of character, all without ever trying too hard. At Bush, we believe Australian natives are the perfect flowers for a day of celebrating your love - and we want to share why.

They reflect the landscape

We exclusively use seasonal natives, which means we only use what is available to us at any given time of year. Choosing native flowers is choosing to connect your wedding to the season and the land around you. Wether you're marrying in the city, the bush or by the coast - your flowers will pair beautifully with the environment, and effortlessly reflect the moment of your nuptials. 

Marrying in a modern venue? Natives suit modern indoor spaces just as much as outdoor ones - adding warmth and texture, and bringing a connection to nature wherever they're placed.

They're long lasting (even in the heat!)

Our native blooms are used to Australian weather. Most native varieties are much better equipped to withstand long summer days and a little more direct sun and heat than traditional garden flowers. While a rose might wilt, a banksia will instead begin to dry out (without losing structural integrity.)

They can be incredibly versatile

We're so lucky to have such a wide array of Native flowers available to us here in Australia - there is always a spectacular variety of shapes, sizes and textures. Natives are the ultimate way to achieve a wild, romantic style that has movement, shape and depth. 

The colour palettes native flowers offer us are also stunning. Everything from earthy, naturalistic and soft, to bold, rich and colourful. We're also always happy to work to a requested colour palette wherever nature allows.   

They're a sustainable choice

When you order native wedding flowers from Bush you can be assured that your flowers will not only be Australian natives, but also Australian grown. A surprising amount of native flowers sold in Australia are imported from overseas, which means much greater transport miles. At Bush, we only source from local growers and many of our flowers are from our own farm in Cobram - so you get fresher flowers, with a smaller footprint.

Bush also actively participates in sustainable floristry practices in a number of meaningful ways, so that your wedding flowers won't have a significant environmental impact.
