A few months ago, I set my alarm to a crazy 3:45am. Waking up, getting dressed and getting into the car whilst the world was still a slumber felt surreal. But it was all worth it! The Sydney Flower Markets (Flemington) are visited each morning by florists, bridal parties and floral enthusiasts. There is a lot of hustle and bustle as people make their picks from buckets, walls and boxes full of flowers. Natives, orchids, leaves, roses, rainbow blooms and luscious white bulbs all make for a rather beautifully aesthetic smorgasbord. Another appeal of the markets is the promise of creativity – surrounded by so many beautiful raw materials, the difficult choice is envisioning how you will combine, arrange and style the floral options. If you can wake up early enough, I highly suggest a visit! Especially if you enjoy your flowers, the wholesale prices are a good incentive!
