Tucked into the northern Illawarra foothills, Balgownie has this beautiful village feel that reminds us why we love delivering flowers to smaller communities. Whether it's celebrations spilling out from Balgownie Public School, weekend gatherings at Fred Finch Park, or just brightening someone's day on Balgownie Road, flowers have this way of connecting people here. For 17 years now, through our network of local Illawarra florists, we've been part of those moments that matter in Balgownie.
Back in 2006, we bought a florist shop in Kingscliff without knowing the first thing about flowers. The previous owner had just taken out a Yellow Pages ad, and suddenly we're getting 40+ calls a day for flower deliveries everywhere from Wollongong to Adelaide to tiny towns we'd never heard of. After months of saying "sorry, we can't help," we had this wild idea: what if we partnered with local florists in each area?
Fast forward to today, and that desperate idea has grown into partnerships with over 800 florists across Australia. But after that crazy evolution, we're still just Siobhan and Andrew, making business decisions while driving the kids to netball. No boring boardrooms meetings, no corporate structure, just working with talented local florists who actually know Balgownie and the Illawarra.
Our Purple & Lilac Bunch has earned 99 glowing reviews, and honestly, it's perfect for Balgownie's garden loving residents who appreciate that classic, understated elegance. At $80.75 with same-day delivery, it's become a local go-to for everything from birthdays to "just because."
Then there's our Stunning Pinks Bunch (26 reviews, same $80.75 price point), which captures those gorgeous sunset colors you get over the escarpment. Our Illawarra partner florists hand-select these blooms fresh each morning, so what arrives at your door in Balgownie is genuinely stunning, not some tired arrangement that's been sitting in a warehouse.
We won a Feefo Trusted Service Award this year, which sounds fancy but basically means real customers who actually bought flowers left us over 3,100 reviews. The minimum to qualify? Just 50.
When we first signed up for independent reviews, we were terrified. Flowers are subjective - what's "romantic" to one person might be "over the top" to another. But transparency matters more than perfect scores.
Our partner florists know every street from Balgownie Heights down to the village center. They're not consulting Google Maps trying to find Russell Street or wondering where Foothills Road actually goes.
Order before 2pm weekdays for same day delivery throughout Balgownie. We cover everywhere from the heights to the village, and our local florists know exactly how to navigate those winding foothill streets. Questions? Just give us a call we're actual humans who answer the phone, right here in Australia.
Because at the end of the day, we're not just delivering flowers to Balgownie. We're helping you be part of someone's day, their celebration, their moment. And after 18 years of doing this, that still feels pretty special.
