Flower Delivery Croydon: Lily's Florist

Hi from Siobhan and Andrew! If you're looking for flower delivery in Croydon, you've landed in the right spot. We're Lily's Florist, not some faceless corporation, but a real Mum and Dad team who've been connecting Australians through flowers since our accidental start back in 2006.

Why Trust Us (Hint: It's Not Just the Flowers)

Here's the thing we never meant to become florists. Truth be told, we bought a tiny flower shop in Kingscliff NSW with zero experience and a baby on the way. Our accountant literally told us not to do it! But 18 years and over 800 partner florists later, here we are, delivering smiles to Croydon and beyond.

What makes us different? Well, we wrote the content for this page from our kitchen table in Northern NSW while our 18 year old raids the fridge, a hungry year 12 student. No boardroom, no marketing team, just us, making decisions between school runs and netball games.

Your Croydon Florists: Real People, Real Shops, Real Fresh

When you order flowers for Croydon delivery, they don't come from a warehouse or get posted overnight like some of our competitors do. Nope. Your flower bouquet is crafted by one of our partner florists right there in the eastern suburbs, like proper brick-and-mortar shops with trained florists who know their roses from their daisies.

Here's how it actually works: When your order comes through (whether online or when you ring us), we route it to the best local florist based on:

• Where exactly in Croydon it's going (3136 covers a fair bit!)
• What flowers they've got fresh that day
• Who can nail the style you're after based off your order, but also the words in your card message

For instance, if you've ordered 24 red roses for Croydon South but our main partner only has 12 left, we'll seamlessly switch to another nearby florist who can deliver the full two dozen. Simple as that.

What Croydon Customers Are Saying

Don't just take our word for it. We've earned a Feefo Trusted Service Award for 2025 (and 2024 too!). To get this, we needed at least 50 reviews with a 4-star average. We smashed it with over 3,000 reviews, that's 60 times the minimum and something we're stoked about!

Why does this matter? Because Feefo only collects reviews from actual customers who actually bought flowers. We can't fake it, delete the dodgy ones, or get our mates to write nice things. It's completely independent - which scared the living daylights out of us when we first signed up back in 2013!

Same Day Delivery to Croydon? Too Easy!

Order before 2PM Monday to Friday and we'll get fresh flowers delivered to Croydon that same day. Whether it's:

• Croydon proper (3136)
• Croydon North
• Croydon South
• Croydon Hills

Don't be fussed at all, we've got you covered. Saturdays we deliver too, just give us a bit more notice if you can and be sure to order by 10AM.

Because Sometimes They Need That Extra Something

Sure, we do all the classics like roses, lilies, natives, you name it. But we also know sometimes flowers alone don't quite cut it. That's why you can add:

• Chocolates (proper ones, not servo quality)
• Teddy bears (for those "sorry I stuffed up" moments)
• Balloons (nothing says "congrats" quite like it)
• Wine or bubbly (if you really want to make an impression)

Our Croydon Connection

You might be wondering, why should a couple from Northern NSW care about flower delivery in Croydon? Fair question!

Back when we were grinding it out in our converted garage office in Pottsville (think carpet, air-con, the works - we were pretty chuffed with ourselves), we started getting calls from all over Australia. Croydon kept popping up, birthdays, anniversaries, "just because" bouquets.

We remember one Valentine's Day in 2011 - I was 8.5 months pregnant with our second, we had friends helping in our home office who had no idea what they'd signed up for. The phones were going mental from 6:30AM. One order that stuck with me was from a bloke in Darwin sending flowers to his mum in Croydon for her 80th. He was deployed there as a FIFO worker and couldn't make it home. When she called us in tears (happy ones!) to say thank you, well... that's when we knew we weren't just sending flowers. We were keeping families connected.

The Evolution of Flower Delivery in Croydon

Here's a fun fact: When we started in 2006, most flower orders came via phone calls to local shops - people literally looked up florists in the Yellow Pages (remember those massive books?). The shop would take your order, ring a florist in the delivery area, read out the card message, and share credit card details over the phone. Mental by today's standards, right?

We accidentally revolutionised this when we started building websites for our partner florists. Suddenly, people in Croydon could order flowers online at 11PM in their PJs. Game changer for us for sure.

Today, about 60% of our orders come through our website, 40% still prefer to ring and chat (which we love - our Armidale-based team are absolute legends and all Australian, by the way).

What Makes Our Croydon Flower Delivery Special?

Local Knowledge: Our partner florists in the area know Croydon like the back of their hand. They know which businesses have tricky loading zones, which retirement villages need special delivery instructions, and that Croydon Hills can be a maze if you're not familiar with it.

Fresh is Best: Because your flowers come from local shops, they haven't spent days in cold storage or travelling across the country. They're made fresh, delivered fresh.

Real Relationships: Some of our Croydon-area partner florists have been with us for over 15 years.

The Bottom Line from Our Dinner Table to Yours

Look, we could waffle on about our "unparalleled floral solutions" or "synergistic partnerships" but that's not us. We're Siobhan and Andrew, two people who stumbled into flowers and discovered we're actually pretty good at connecting people through them.

Whether you're sending birthday flowers to your mum in Croydon South, surprising your partner at their Croydon office, or bringing a smile to someone at Maroondah Hospital - we can help you.

We're not perfect (ask us about the time our daughter broke a gift in a florist shop while I was trying to pitch our business idea!), but we care deeply about every single order. Because we know it's not just flowers, it's your message of love, sympathy, congratulations, or "thinking of you" that matters.

Ready to send some floral joy to Croydon? Order online anytime or give us a bell before 2PM weekdays for same-day delivery.
