Same Day Delivery - Benowa Wide
Fridays are a mission. Pick Ivy up from school at The Strand in Coolangatta, battle the afternoon traffic north to Carrara for basketball, try not to be late for tip off. Somewhere in between, if we've timed it right, we stop at Sushi Break in Benowa. Ivy's order never changes. Grilled salmon nigiri. She'd eat it every day if we let her.
My name is Siobhan, I own Lily's Florist with my partner Andrew, and after six years of driving kids to netball at Mudgeeraba, basketball at Carrara, and school across two different campuses, we know these roads properly. Benowa sits right in the middle of our regular Friday route, that stretch between the M1 and Ashmore where the traffic finally eases and you can actually breathe for a minute.
When you order flowers to Benowa, they're made by a real florist with a real shop somewhere on the Gold Coast. Not assembled in a warehouse, not boxed up and shipped overnight with Australia Post. Our partner florists know these suburbs. They know the difference between the older established streets near the golf course and the newer pockets closer to Ashmore. They use local couriers who can find the address without three phone calls and a U-turn.

We work with over 800 partner florists across Australia, but the model is the same everywhere. Your order hits our system, gets routed to the closest florist who has the right stock, they make the arrangement fresh that morning, and it goes out for delivery. If our first choice florist is short on red roses, the order moves automatically to the next one who can do it properly.
Here's the thing about flowers. They're subjective. Three people can look at the same bouquet and see three completely different things. One person's lush is another person's over the top. So when we partnered with Feefo back in 2019, we knew we were taking a risk.
Feefo only allows reviews from verified customers. You literally cannot leave a review unless you've made a purchase. We have no control over what gets posted, no ability to delete the bad ones or bump up the good ones. It's all there, raw and unfiltered.

Ewin recently sent flowers to his mother and sister for Christmas. Both sent photos back, both commented on how beautiful they smelled. He described our service as amazing and professional. Holly made an error with her delivery address and said we went to extra effort to fix it. Dale ordered from the States, found the website easy to navigate, and his daughter received the flowers on time. One customer said the flower arrangement was beyond their friend's expectations for a birthday.
We won Feefo's Trusted Service Award in 2024 and again in 2025. Over 3,000 verified reviews in a 12 month period, more than 2,400 of them at 4 or 5 stars, and with over 22,500 since 2013.

Order before 2pm on weekdays or 10am on Saturdays and we guarantee same day delivery to Benowa. $16.95 delivery fee, and we subsidise the actual cost for most deliveries so you're not surprised at checkout.
If you'd rather talk to someone, call us on 1300 360 469. Our team is Australian based, available six days a week by phone, email or live chat. Anna's been with us for 15 years and trained as a florist before joining, so when you call you're talking to someone who actually knows flowers.
We bought a florist and gift shop in Kingscliff in 2006. No flower experience, a baby on the way, and our accountant told us point blank not to do it. We ignored him. The previous owner had just taken out a Yellow Pages ad, the actual book, and suddenly we were getting 40 calls a day for flower deliveries to places we couldn't service. Murwillumbah. Coolangatta. Towns we'd never even heard of.

After months of saying sorry, we had an idea. Find florists in those areas, ask them to make the flowers for us, no membership fees, just a small commission covered by adding extra stems to each bouquet. The first florist we approached, out in Murwillumbah, said yes. Then Byron Bay. Then it snowballed.

By 2009 we'd built Lily's Florist as a brand and gone fully online. Today we work with over 800 partner florists, but we're still the same Mum and Dad making decisions at the dinner table. No boardroom, no marketing team, no offshore call centre. Just us, the kids, and a lot of driving.

* Me, Andew, and the kids. Ivy-Asha.
Benowa has a bit of everything. Family homes in the leafy streets near the state school, apartments closer to the retail precinct, retirees in the quieter pockets. You might be sending birthday flowers to a colleague, thank you flowers to someone who helped out during a tough week, sympathy flowers for a family who's lost someone, or just because flowers to remind someone you're thinking of them.
For aged care or hospital deliveries, we recommend our boxed arrangements that don't need a vase. For homes, our florists can put together anything from a vibrant bunch to something more elegant depending on the occasion and your budget.
