About

Overview & Vibe

Joanne Flowers of Manuka has been trading in Canberra for nearly 80 years the shop opened before most of the suburbs around it, and it has never closed. It is a working flower shop in the Manuka precinct, not a wedding-only studio.

Style & Signature Blooms

Seasonal and bespoke rather than a fixed look. Flowers come from local growers, Flower HQ in Canberra and the Sydney Flower Markets, so what is in the bucket changes through the year, which is the point. The wedding gallery runs from soft blush ceremony arches to deep red and burgundy bouquets.

Ideal For

A Canberra couple who wants a florist with a shop they can walk into, and who values a long-established team over a new studio. It also suits couples marrying at a regional NSW winery, the team travels, and has worked at Bendooley Estate in Bowral and Mona Farm in Braidwood.

The Need-to-Knows

Full-scale weddings carry a minimum investment. Bridal-party-only flowers have no, which is unusual and worth knowing if you only need bouquets and buttonholes. The wedding calendar opens 10 months before your date, deliberately, so quotes reflect what will actually be in season. A deposit confirms the booking.

Standout Feature

Eighty years in one town. Four generations of Canberra weddings have come through the same shop, and the family still delivers the flowers themselves.
