The Best Florists In Melbourne

Sentimental, sweet and a source of endless inspiration, flowers brighten any room and every face. Receiving them is a reassurance of love, and gifting them is a gesture of kindness. Writer Emma Goldman once said, “I’d rather have roses on my table than diamonds on my neck.” Whether you’re after a simple bouquet or an awe-inspiring floral installation, the following florists can add colour to any occasion.

1. Pollon Flowers

Set within The Chapter House, Pollon Flowers is hard to miss, because the foliage from this inner-city oasis spills out onto Flinders Lane in a visually pleasing, yet seemingly effortless, manner. Of course, it makes sense when you consider that owner Nicholas Minton-Connell once worked as a visual merchandiser for David Jones and Dior. Now a renowned florist, Minton-Connell is known his originality and ability to allow simple and avant-garde arrangements to coexist. From weddings and events to corporate occasions and walk-in customers, Pollon Flowers can cater to any floral desire.

2. Azalea Flowers

Market

Specialising in Australian natives, Azalea Flowers is located within the bustling South Melbourne Market. Working as a florist since he was just a seed, owner and industry veteran Michael Pavlou has dedicated his life to showcasing the underrated beauty of native varieties, including the King Protea, Scarlet Banksia and Hakea Francisiana. Whether you’re after an unusual and easy to care for indoor plant or an arrangement to elevate your next event, Azalea Flowers is the place to visit.

3. Canary Janes Flowers

An affinity for Doris Day and the film Calamity Jane inspired florist Rebecca Stacey to open Canary Janes in April 2012. The vintage ’50s theme sports checkerboard flooring and antique furniture, all of which is adorned with locally grown flowers and locally made gifts and homewares. The shop even has a Flower of the Week chalkboard in case you’re in need of a suggestion; and they offer workshops. Canary Janes can also take care of your wedding’s floral needs.
