BUDERIM, QLD, February 18, 2026 – The 2026 wedding season on the Sunshine Coast is seeing a dramatic shift in floral artistry, with couples moving away from traditional bouquets and embracing bold, sculptural arrangements and locally-sourced Australian native flowers. Local family-owned florist, Buderim Floral Art, is at the forefront of this trend, reporting a surge in requests for unique, textural designs that reflect the region’s natural beauty as wedding bookings climb.
Industry-wide trends for 2026 confirm that wedding floristry is becoming more intentional and artistic, with a focus on asymmetrical shapes, layered textures, and immersive floral moments [1]. This is a departure from the classic, symmetrical rose bouquets that have dominated for decades. Instead, modern couples are opting for standout stems like orchids and anthuriums, combined with the rugged elegance of Australian natives like banksia, wattle, and delicate wax flowers.
“The conversations we’re having with couples for their 2026 weddings are all about personality and place,” says the head florist at Buderim Floral Art. “They are asking for arrangements that feel like a piece of art—something that is both wild and refined. There’s a real desire to move beyond the imported red rose and embrace flowers that tell a story about the Sunshine Coast. It’s incredibly exciting to work with the stunning variety of native and seasonal blooms our local growers provide.”
This movement towards localism is perfectly timed with the recent opening of new flower farms in the region, such as Woods Goods Flower Farm in Ninderry, which is strengthening the local supply chain for sought-after seasonal flowers like dahlias [2]. The trend also extends to colour palettes, with soft pastels—blush, peach, and butter yellows—and a relaxed, “wildflower” aesthetic proving immensely popular for Sunshine Coast weddings.
As the peak booking season for 2026 weddings continues, Buderim Floral Art advises couples to book their floral consultations early to explore these creative new directions. With Mother’s Day also approaching in May, the florist notes that the emphasis on unique, seasonal, and locally-inspired arrangements is a trend that extends to all special occasions.
