What’s in Season (and Looking Great) in October
While the UAE imports premium stems year‑round, October is particularly kind to hardy varieties that love slightly cooler nights. Here are the standouts we’re designing with this month:
Kenyan & Garden Roses:
Consistent quality and color range, from blush nudes to hot pinks and moody reds.
Chrysanthemums:
Button, daisy, and disbud mums bring texture, long vase life, and autumnal tones.
Alstroemeria (Peruvian Lily)
Budget‑friendly, plentiful, and wonderfully long‑lasting.
Oriental & Asiatic Lilies
Statement blooms with fragrance. Great for entryways and gifting.
Sunflowers
Sunshine in a stem. Perfect for cheerful birthday and congratulations bouquets.
Orchids (Phalaenopsis, Dendrobium)
Heat‑tolerant and elegant; ideal for modern arrangements.
Dahlias
Limited runs arrive intermittently; availability varies. Reserve ahead if you have your heart set on them.
Marigolds
Festive and vibrant; often requested for cultural celebrations this time of year.
Eucalyptus & Seasonal Foliage
Adds scent, shape, and that designer finishing touch.
*Note: Specialty stems such as dahlias and marigolds can be limited and sell out quickly. For time‑sensitive events, message us on WhatsApp and we’ll confirm the day’s freshest arrivals.
Trending Looks in Dubai Right Now
Florals evolve with the mood of the city. Here are the October looks our Dubai clients are asking for—and that we’re loving in the studio:

Bold, Happy Yellows
Sunflowers paired with white lilies or orchids are trending for birthdays and congratulatory moments.
Minimalist White‑on‑White
Phalaenopsis orchids and white roses with airy greenery—chic, modern, and perfect for corporate or hotel lobbies.
Festive Bursts
Marigolds, mums, and roses in saffron, orange, and red palettes—ideal for cultural gatherings and seasonal décor.
Freshness Guide: How to Pick the Best Blooms
Use this quick checklist when you receive a bouquet or visit a shop. It’s the same criteria our florists rely on daily.
| Check | What to Look For | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Stems | Firm, hydrated, no sliminess or browning | Indicates a clean cut and recent hydration |
| Leaves | Crisp, green, minimal yellowing | Tells you how recently the flowers were processed |
| Buds | Tight for lilies/roses; avoid bruises | Ensures your bouquet opens beautifully at home |
| Petals | Vibrant color, no transparent edges | Prevents early wilting or petal drop |
| Scent | Fresh, floral—not vegetal or musty | A quick quality check that never fails |
Pro tip: If you’re ordering online, choose a florist who sends pictures before dispatch and offers same‑day delivery—so your blooms arrive at their absolute best.
Some Top Picks for you
Care Tips for Longer Vase Life in the UAE
- Unwrap, trim, hydrate: Cut 1–2cm off stems at a 45° angle and place in clean water with flower food.
- Keep it cool: Position arrangements away from direct sun, AC vents, and fruit bowls.
- Refresh often: Change water every 1–2 days; remove any foliage below the water line.
- Stage the bloom: For lilies and roses, keep a few buds to open at home for a “fresh for days” effect.

FAQs: October Flowers in the UAE
Which flowers are reliably available in October?
Roses, chrysanthemums, alstroemeria, lilies, orchids, and sunflowers are strong October picks across the UAE. Specialty stems like dahlias or marigolds appear in limited batches—message us to confirm same‑day stock.
Are peonies available in October?
Peonies are limited this month and can be premium‑priced. If you’re flexible, we’ll suggest similar full‑petal alternatives (garden roses, ranunculus—when in season) that deliver the same lush look.
How far in advance should I order for weekend events?
For classic stems (roses, lilies, orchids), same‑day is usually fine. For specialty stems or large quantities, book 3–4 days ahead so we can reserve the freshest imports.
What lasts longest in the UAE climate?
Alstroemeria, chrysanthemums, orchids, and some rose varieties offer excellent vase life with proper care. Keep arrangements away from direct sun and AC vents, refresh water every 1–2 days, and trim stems slightly with each change.
Best options under AED 200?
Mixed chrysanthemums, alstroemeria bundles, and seasonal roses deliver great impact and value. Tell us your palette—we’ll build a designer mix within budget.
Can you avoid strong fragrance for offices?
Yes—choose orchids, chrysanthemums, or alstroemeria for a low‑scent, professional look. We’ll steer clear of strongly scented lilies unless requested.
What if a stem is out of stock on the day?
We’ll substitute with a matching color/quality stem of equal or higher value and always send a photo for approval before dispatch.
