Margaret River is one of Australia's most breathtaking wedding destinations — and its native flora is nothing short of extraordinary. If you're planning a wedding in the region and want your florals to feel truly of this place, here's our guide to the best native flowers to consider.
Banksia
Bold, architectural, and unmistakably Australian, banksia adds dramatic texture to bridal bouquets and ceremony installations. Their warm amber and golden tones complement the earthy tones of Margaret River's limestone and jarrah landscapes beautifully. Banksia also dries exceptionally well, making them a favourite for couples who want to keep their florals long after the day.
Kangaroo Paw
Few flowers say 'Western Australia' quite like kangaroo paw. Available in rich reds, soft pinks, and vibrant yellows, they bring a wild, sculptural quality to arrangements. They're incredibly hardy — perfect for outdoor ceremonies in the summer heat — and pair beautifully with softer blooms like garden roses or ranunculus.
Leucadendron
A staple of the South African fynbos, leucadendron has found a natural home in the Margaret River region's Mediterranean climate. Its silvery-green foliage and cone-like flower heads add depth and movement to bouquets. We love using it as a structural foliage element that ties together wildflower-inspired arrangements.
Protea
The protea is the undisputed queen of native wedding florals. From the grand King Protea to the delicate Blushing Bride variety, proteas bring a luxurious, editorial quality to wedding florals. They photograph beautifully and hold their form throughout a long wedding day.
Wax Flower
Grown abundantly in the South West, wax flower is a delicate filler bloom that adds softness and a subtle honey fragrance to arrangements. It's one of our most-loved locally sourced flowers — and a beautiful nod to the region's wildflower heritage.
