Melbourne Spring Racing Hair Flowers & Buttonholes.

Melbourne Spring Racing Hair Flowers & Buttonholes.

Bloom in Style This Spring Racing Carnival

There’s something magical about Melbourne in spring – sunshine (hopefully), high fashion, champagne, and the excitement of the Spring Racing Carnival. From Derby Day to Cup Day, it’s the perfect time to dress up and let your personality shine. And nothing completes a race day look quite like fresh flowers.

Melbourne Cup Day 2025 falls on Tuesday, November 4th, and whether you’re trackside, in a marquee, or celebrating at home, floral accessories bring an extra touch of elegance.

At Lillypad Flowers, we love creating custom hair flowers, halos, crowns, floral hair bands, and buttonholes for racegoers. Each piece is made to suit your outfit, style, and the unique vibe of the day. From classic white roses for Derby Day’s monochrome theme to bold yellow blooms for Cup Day, we colour match and design for a perfect fit.

Popular Race Day Florals

  • Flower halos & bands – Soft, romantic, and easy to wear.

  • Floral crowns – Bold and whimsical for statement style.

  • Hair combs & pins – Subtle, chic details for understated elegance.

  • Buttonholes – Modern, fresh, and perfect for men’s suits.

We use durable, in-season blooms like spray roses, ranunculus, orchids, lisianthus, dahlias, and natives to ensure your florals last all day.
