Tulip

Here it comes, Spring! A lot of variety of blossoms are available in flower markets. Beautiful colours, texture, shapes and fragrances... It's really amazing. I can't believe that there are so many types of flowers I haven't seen before. Hope I can get opportunities  to use all of them throughout my florist career!

From September to November I get pretty busy producing on gorgeous bouquets for many happy weddings in the Gold Coast. I've had a lot of wedding flower enquires during the winter season and the Tulip is one of the brides favourite. Tulips have soft fluffy plump flowers with hollowed long stems. Comes with many variety of colours that can suit many wedding theme. A lot of them are grown in Victoria and many elegant species are imported from Europe. Can you imagine walking through this colourful garden in Holland? They're simply breath taking.

Actually Tulips are quite challenging to manage into bridal bouquets. I would recommend to hold them in the winter/early spring weddings because they're delicately reactive for temperature and light. They keep growing and popping out the bundle of the bouquet so that I usually glue their petals or put some pinholes on the neck of the buds; this method can stop or slow down their rapid growth.
