Two people. No warehouse. No factory. Just a network of real florists who make real arrangements. I am Siobhan. Andrew and I have been running this from the same dining table since we started, first in Kingscliff with one shop and a baby on the way, now across 800+ partner florists covering every state and territory. You can read the full story on our About Us page.
Everyone tells you to keep flowers cool. And they are right, sort of. But Doonside houses in January run the aircon from seven in the morning until midnight. That artificial air pulls humidity out of the room, down to maybe thirty percent. Petals are thin tissue trying to hold water, and when the air around them is that dry, they lose moisture faster than the stem can replace it. A bouquet that would go ten days in a room with normal air movement might manage five or six in a heavily air conditioned house.
The fix is simple. Mist the petals every morning if you can. Takes ten seconds with a spray bottle. Or put a small bowl of water near the vase. The extra humidity around the flowers slows down the moisture loss.
I picked up on this pattern after years of fielding calls from customers in dry inland and western suburbs areas who could not work out why their flowers were wilting so quickly. The air conditioning was the common thread every time. It is one of those things you only learn from thousands of conversations, not from a textbook.
Your order goes to a partner florist in or close to Doonside. They source fresh stock from Flemington Markets, Sydney's largest wholesale flower market, where growers from the Central Coast down to the South Coast supply daily. The florist selects the stems, conditions them, builds your arrangement by hand, and delivers it personally. No middleman. No warehouse. No shipping box. One florist, one shop, your order.

* How it works. You order, we connect with a local Doonside florist, they deliver fresh. No post. No boxes.
Doonside is a neighbourhood where people look out for each other. Kids at Doonside Technology High School, families walking through Bungarribee Park on weekends, commuters passing through the station every morning. If you are sending roses or something more relaxed like a mixed seasonal bunch, the florist will put it together to suit.
A neighbour watched the dog while you were away. A colleague covered your shift at short notice. A friend dropped off dinner when things got rough. Thank you flowers do the talking when a text feels too small and a gift card feels too cold. Bright colours work well here. The florist will pick something cheerful unless you say otherwise.
Birthdays are the one occasion where most people already know what they want to do. They just need help with the timing. Order your birthday flowers before 2pm and the florist will have them at the door that same afternoon. If you are not sure about colours or stems, the florist's choice option lets the florist work with whatever is freshest that morning. It usually looks better than anything you would have picked.
Timing matters more than most people realise. Flowers arriving too early end up in a back room. Too late and they miss the service entirely. If you tell us what the occasion is when you order, we pass that information on to the florist so they can choose appropriate colours and coordinate the delivery window. Whites, soft creams, muted greens. That is the palette. Have a look at our sympathy flowers range for guidance.
Completely normal. More than half the people who call us say the same thing. Our Florist's Choice Bunch ($74.50) hands the decision to the florist, who works with whatever is freshest and in season that day. It is one of our most popular options for good reason. If budget is a factor, start with our flowers under $60 range. Same care, smaller arrangement.
Phone: Call 1300 360 469 to speak with our Australian team, or order anytime through the website. We are open Monday to Saturday. If you email us at [email protected], we will get back to you the same business day.
Same day delivery: Order by 2pm weekdays or 10am Saturdays and your flowers will arrive that day. The cutoff exists because the florist needs time to source stems, condition them, build the arrangement, and run the delivery. Rushing that process means shorter vase life, and that is a trade off we will not make.
No Sunday delivery: Most wholesale markets and florist shops close on Sundays. A florist working on Sunday would be using Saturday stock, which means your flowers have already lost a day of freshness before they arrive. We would rather not deliver than deliver something that does not meet the standard.
Delivery fee: $16.95. We subsidise the actual cost of delivery because a real person in a real vehicle is bringing your flowers to a specific address. It costs more than $16.95 to do that properly, but we absorb the difference.
Once your order is placed, we match it with a partner florist in or close to the Doonside area. That florist sources stems from the market, prepares and conditions them, builds the arrangement, and delivers it personally. The whole process happens the same day when you order within the cutoff window.
If something goes wrong, tell us within 24 hours. Send photos of the front and back of the arrangement to [email protected] or call 1300 360 469. You can also use the live chat on our website. We sort it out directly with the florist and come back to you with a resolution.
