About

Overview & Vibe

Flowers of Southport is a family-owned shop inside Australia Fair Metro, in the middle of Southport, and it has been trading on the Gold Coast since 1996 - close to thirty years. Weddings are handled by an in-house team from the same studio that runs the daily delivery service, and the shop carries more than 450 Google reviews. Arrangements are made to order from stock bought several times a week rather than held in bulk.

Style & Signature Blooms

The house strength is tropical and native: a published hinterland wedding was built from cymbidium orchids, pincushion proteas and birds of paradise, with palm and anthurium running through the reception tables. The same team also works in a quieter classic register - white roses and eucalyptus - so the palette follows the couple rather than a signature look. Seasonal guidance is offered as part of the planning.

Ideal For

Couples marrying on the Gold Coast, in the hinterland around Mount Tamborine, or into Northern New South Wales, who want a shop they can walk into rather than a studio by appointment. It suits anyone drawn to bold tropical colour, and equally anyone who wants to arrive with nothing more than a palette - the team states plainly that you do not need to know a single flower name.

The Need-to-Knows

The minimum spend for wedding work is $1,500, which the shop says usually covers bouquets and personal florals for a smaller wedding; ceremony installations and reception styling are quoted individually on scale, flower choice, venue access and set-up. Quotes are itemised in writing and a 50 per cent deposit secures the date. Styling can include candles, vessels and candelabras, with set-up, pack-down and coordination with your venue or planner. Everyday delivery is $15 to most local suburbs, $20 further out, and free to all Gold Coast hospitals.

Standout Feature

Thirty years in one place shows in the detail: free delivery to six local hospitals, same-day dispatch on orders by 2pm, and a wedding process written out step by step from first enquiry to pack-down. The shop also publishes a full write-up of a Mount Tamborine wedding it flowered, so you can see an entire day rather than a row of bouquets.

Appointment Policy

Couples send their wedding date, venue, budget and any inspiration they already have to begin.
The team then talks through colours, style, flower preferences, ceremony plans and reception needs.
A clear itemised quote follows in writing, and a 50 per cent deposit secures the date.
Couples are told they do not need to know flower names - a colour palette, a venue or a few inspiration photographs is enough to start.
