Frangipani
By far one of Cairns’ most recognised blooms the frangipani is revered by beach-loving brides and grooms thinking of a wedding at Palm Cove or Port Douglas.
The frangipani is available in white or pink with a yellow heart and is available throughout most of the year in Cairns, with the exception of the cooler months.
It can be tedious arranging these delicate flowers as they cannot be used on the stem, which contains a poisonous sap. Instead, they are usually wired in small bunches of three or four and grouped together to create a larger bulb.
Moth orchids
These hard-wearing but delicate-looking blossoms are another great choice for Cairns weddings.
They come in white with yellow or mauve hearts, pinks, purples and green-yellows. Ready supply of these orchids is limited to spring for your Cairns wedding.
Calla lilies
Available for your Cairns wedding in a range of typical autumn hues from bronze, gold, yellow and cream to burgundy, these long-lasting lilies look great when combined with interesting foliage.
Unlike most other Cairns wedding blooms which flourish during summer, the calla lily is most readily available in autumn.
Anthuriums
These waxy arrow or heart-shaped flowers are available for your Cairns wedding in various shades of green, red, pink, purple and white and prove a great option for the rainforest bride.
They are available for your Cairns wedding throughout most of the year, but especially in summer.
Cymbidium orchids
These durable orchids are one of the few tropical-looking blooms that actually flourish for your Cairns weddin during the winter.
They are available in white, pinks, reds, lime, yellow green, yellows, gold and burgundy – and they will last extremely well for your Cairns wedding.
Vanda orchids
These exotic blooms come in yellow, orange or purple and, like many Cairns wedding flowers, are available during the warm summer months.
