There is nothing more romantic than a rose for your Sunshine Coast wedding. It is the symbol of love and romanticism. It's no wonder the flower is so frequently used is bridal bouquets. The rose is also a very versatile flower, and can bring that romance to your wedding flowers in many different ways. There are different kinds of roses – David Austin Roses, Grandiflora, Leonidas, Anouschka, Prima Donna to name a few… and don't even get me started on the hybrid roses (although I am particularly partial to a tulip rose.)

You would also be surprised to learn how many colours roses come in – of course your expected red, white, and every shade of pink imaginable, but also purple, blue, yellow, orange, green, cream, bronze, brown, peach, apricot and even blue – yes, blue. A blue rose! Who'd have thunk it?

And then you have to wonder about whether or not to have all roses, or to team your chosen rose with other flowers to make for a more intricate bouquet? And would you like a posy, a tear drop or a cascading bouquet?

Oh dear, my lovely Sunshine Coast brides, I can tell I am confusing you to no end. The great news is, there are florists that need to worry about this kind of caper a lot more than you do. Phew!
