Same Day Flowers Delivery - Australia Wide!
Shop ByFlower Delivery Creswick, Same Day on a 2pm Order
A birthday today, or a service later in the week in Creswick. The order needs to be in by 2pm on a weekday, and then it is at their door that afternoon. After 2pm it goes the next morning. Saturday closes at 10am. A partner florist makes it that day, so nothing turns up in a courier box from Melbourne. On those we will ask for a phone number, because a July morning here sits at two degrees and a wet step is a poor place to leave flowers. Not sure what to send, or which building it goes to? Ring 1300 360 469 and we will sort it.

Why 2pm
In by 2pm and a florist still catches the afternoon run.
Where orders land
Nearly all of it lands at a house on the grid, 1 Napier Street, Creswick Cemetery, or a ward 18 km south in Ballarat.
This town judges flowers
Creswick has run a flower show every November for eleven years. Recipients grow their own and notice what is in season.
Who makes it
No shop of ours here. It goes to a florist near town with stems on the bench. The trade is below.
We Have Never Had a Shop in Creswick
Your order goes out as a paid job to a florist in or near the town, so you cannot stand at a counter and point at a bucket. A shop you can walk into beats us there. What you get is an order that does not hang on one shop having a bad Tuesday. Shut or short, it moves.
The wood heater undoes what Creswick's climate does for a bouquet
Anna, qualified florist | fifteen years on the bench
Most towns I write about are a fight against heat. Creswick is not. At 440 metres the air a bouquet lands in holds 15 to 18 degrees most of the year. The cold only bites outside. On a step in July it takes the bloom off before the door opens, and inside that same air is why a rose here gives you a fortnight.
Then someone lights the wood heater. Transpiration climbs about 6.8 percent for every degree above 21, so a vase on a mantelpiece above a fire sits in air far hotter than the house around it. Petals dry from the edges in and curl, and five months of that strips a rose quicker than a Ballarat summer.
Move the vase a metre and you get most of the week back.
What Each Creswick Address Actually Needs
The Napier Street and Ballarat entries come from their operators' published service lists. Most get well orders belong in the first two.

Fresh Flowers for What This Town Sends Most
Two occasions carry most of what we send to 3363, and natives turn up in both.
The house, the director, or the cemetery
A service date in front of you, and no idea which address the flowers go to. Condolence to the family home. Service pieces go to whichever funeral director the family used, both on Albert Street, or to the cemetery on Clunes Road. They have to land the day before.
Anna on format: a wreath stays at the service, a sheaf goes home into a vase, and foam holds water about a day and a half, which is usually what decides it.
For an 80th, ask which room it lands in
One in five people here is over 70, so 80th and 90th orders run steadily, usually a daughter in Ballarat sending birthday flowers for mum. For the aged care wing on Napier Street, the room decides the format.
Anna on what fits a bedside table
A shared room gives you the footprint of a dinner plate. Box arrangement, own water, facing the bed, nothing you can smell from the door. Nobody there is topping up a vase for you.
Birthdays and thinking-of-you before 2pm are out this afternoon. Service flowers want a day in hand.
Browse flower arrangementsNot sure what to send?
Sending into a town you have never seen leaves you no reference point. Anna picks the season.
Winter and spring, tulips or ranunculus. The house is not fighting back here, so a tulip giving five days in Brisbane gives twelve. Out of season, a native mix with leucadendron in it, and three weeks. On the under sixty tier the difference is stem count.
What It Costs, and the Wet Doorstep
Cost
From $42.95+ delivery.
The wet doorstep
Creswick takes 745 mm of rain a year, and a bouquet left flat on concrete in a frost is one you paid for twice. A safe place here has to be dry and off the ground, so name a verandah and give us a number, which matters most on a thinking of you order nobody is expecting.
After You Order
An order number comes by email, and a weekday order in by 2pm goes out that afternoon. A woman rang me in 2012 wanting flowers for her mum in Creswick and spent two minutes apologising for not driving up. She was in Ballarat. Twenty minutes away. Where these go wrong it is nearly always a substitution nobody mentioned, so send a photo the same day.
Siobhan, on the bit nobody warns you about
The thing people ring about is the silence afterwards. You send them, hear nothing, and by evening you have decided something went wrong. Usually the flowers went onto the kitchen bench and the day carried on. Give it a night, then ring 1300 360 469.
