Solis who?
Phillip Island's native flower 'Hibiscus Insularis' - embodies Solis Florals' philosophy. 'Insularis' meaning "belonging to an island," reflecting our deep connection to Australia, its natural beauty and its abundant native flora. A bee finds rest within a flower's final bloom: reflecting how beauty, purpose, and sanctuary exist even in life's closing chapters. Logo picture taken at Melbourne Botanical Gardens.

About Solis Florals
Solis Florals is a Melbourne-based floral design studio rooted in Australian soil, symbolism, and storytelling. Our practice centers on Australian native flowers and dried florals, honouring the unique character of this land.
Australian Natives & The Art of Preservation
We work extensively with native Australian botanicals - both fresh and preserved. Firstly, this is a very sustainable practise to incorporate botanicals from our soil, and support our local farmers; and to also appreciate them in all of lifes form - from alive to dried. Watching this natural process, you see these florals shift their beauty from full luscious shapes to skeletal lines and negative space as time passes. Beautiful throughout its whole life cycle showing preservation is an art in itself: honouring longevity, memory, lifes rich stories, love and care.
Symbolism: Your Story - guided by meaning, not spectacle
How many weddings and funerals will you have in your life? These milestones are not performances - they are deeply personal markers of who you are, what you value, and how you wish to be remembered- not generic flowers chosen to please others, but artworks that embody your essence, your relationships, your story. Whether celebrating a union or honouring a life lived, your florals should serve as a visual testimony to what matters most.
Solis all around the world: Cultural Reverence
Solis Florals approaches design through a lens of cultural respect and curiosity. We believe Australia's position as an island continent offers us the privilege of learning from and honouring diverse floral traditions from around the world. We seek to learn, adapt, and integrate techniques thoughtfully - bringing global influence into harmony with Australian native materials. The result is floral work that feels grounded yet expansive, personal yet timeless.
Solis meaning sun- a symbol of life, warmth, cycles, and return. Like the land it belongs to, Solis Florals honours beginnings, endings, and everything in between!
