Flowers With A Vase
Our Bright Bunch With Vase at $99.95 is the most reviewed product on this page with over 320 verified reviews. Every product here includes a glass vase, prices start at $60.50, and same day delivery is available across Australia through our network of 800+ local partner florists. We are Lily's Florist, family owned since 2009, backed by 22,800+ verified Feefo reviews and a Trusted Service Award three years running. The recipient opens the box and the flowers are already in their vase. Nothing to find, nothing to prepare, nothing to trim. A florist builds differently when they know the exact vase the flowers are going into, and that difference shows.
The Vase Stays
Flowers last a week, sometimes two if the stems were conditioned well. The glass vase lasts years. We get told this regularly by customers who still have the vase sitting on a windowsill or bedside table months after the flowers were composted. It becomes part of the home. So when you send flowers with a vase included, you are actually sending two gifts. One that is immediate and beautiful and alive, and one that quietly stays.
"thankyou so much my sister was quite over joyed she was even taken back with the beautiful vase they came in she sent me photos and I must say they were lovely so I thankyou for making my sisters birthday a special day I will sure to spread the word thankyou again barbara smallman"
Barbara's sister was "taken back" by the vase itself. Not just the flowers. The vase. Anna reads reviews like this and sees something most people miss. Glass is not just about looks. It lets light reach the stems and water, which slows bacterial growth compared to opaque containers where the water sits in the dark and goes murky within days. The recipient can also see the water level dropping, which is the simplest reminder to top it up. A clear vase does quiet work that a ceramic one never will. It also matters practically. Your daughter in a share house probably doesn't own a nice vase. Someone in hospital is not getting out of bed to find a container and scissors. A corporate office needs the arrangement to sit on a reception desk and look finished the moment it arrives. The included vase solves all of that before the recipient even thinks about it. For birthday flowers especially, the vase turns a lovely gesture into a lasting one.
Why the Vase Changes How the Flowers Are Built
Most people think any vase will do. Anna disagrees. She trained in North Carolina and worked as a florist for over fifteen years before joining us, and she has opinions about vases that most people never consider.
"The old rule is one and a half times. The flowers should stand about one and a half times the height of the vase. Not double, not equal. Double looks top heavy, like the whole thing might fall over. Equal looks stunted and sad. Some florists have this in their eye without measuring. Others don't. When the vase ships with the flowers, the florist is holding both at the same time on the bench. They can see the proportion as they build. That is a completely different process from someone buying a random bunch and dropping it into whatever they have at home."
Width matters too. Anna noticed this in her first year on the bench and it stuck with her for the next fourteen.
"Stems in a vase that's too wide splay out sideways. They lose support, they lean, they drink unevenly because some are barely reaching the water. By day three they're flopping. Stems in a vase that's too narrow get crushed together and compete for water at the same depth. Neither works. The vase needs to give the bunch room to breathe without letting it collapse. When I'm building for a vase I already have in my hand, I know the diameter. I know how many stems will sit right in that opening. When someone buys flowers separately and puts them in a kitchen vase they found in a cupboard, they are guessing. Sometimes it works. Often it doesn't."
So the included vase does two things. The height is matched to the flowers for visual balance and the width is matched to the bunch size for stem support and water access. Buying flowers and a vase separately is a gamble on both. If you prefer flowers that arrive in a box with a built in water source and no vase at all, our flower arrangements page has that option.
Picking by Price or Occasion
The entry point is $60.50 and you have three options at that price. Single Red Rose In Glass Vase at $62.50 is the romantic gesture, clean and direct, and it works well for Valentine's Day or anniversaries when you want simplicity over volume. Three Gerberas In A Vase and 2 Lily Stems In Glass Vase sit at $60.50 each. Both are bright, both fill a bedside table or kitchen bench without overwhelming the room.
The middle of the page runs $93 to $116. Bright Bunch With Vase at $99.95 is the bestseller here for a reason. It is colourful, generous, photographs well, and the 322 reviews on that product page speak for themselves. Roses And Gerberas With Vase at $110.95 and Pastel Bunch With Vase at $115.95 give you different colour palettes. If you are shopping by colour, we have dedicated pages for red, purple, and yellow flowers.
At the top end, Natives Flowers With A Vase at $146.50 is distinctly Australian and suits Mother's Day or any occasion where you want something that feels grounded and different from the standard rose and lily combination. Roses And Carnations Bunch With Vase at $222.95 is premium, and the Celebration Package With A Vase at $252.50 is the full statement piece for milestones. Both Blue Mist and Simply Stylish in the $121 to $131 range include chocolates with the vase, so the entire gift arrives in one delivery.
"Excellent customer service, someone actually in Australia and was delivered within 2 hours. Amazing flowers and glass vase as described on the website, will be using again."
"As described on the website" matters. That customer got exactly what they saw on the product page, including the glass vase. Our call centre is in Armidale, staffed by actual people in Australia, which is what that reviewer noticed when they rang us.
Ordering and Delivery
You can order on the website or call us on 1300 360 469. Our team in Armidale is available Monday to Saturday. Same day delivery requires ordering before 2pm on weekdays or 10am on Saturdays. Those cutoffs exist because our partner florists need time to condition the stems properly, build the arrangement into the vase, and get it onto the delivery route before the afternoon heat in the van starts costing vase life. A bunch rushed out the door at 4pm will not last as long as one that was conditioned, arranged, and delivered in the cooler part of the day.
We don't deliver on Sundays. Flower markets close Saturday afternoon and any florist delivering Sunday is working with Friday stock. That is already three days old before it reaches the vase on someone's table. We could offer Sunday delivery. We choose not to because the quality drops and we would rather be upfront about that.
Delivery is $16.95 and we subsidise that because the actual courier cost is often higher. If you are working to a tighter budget, our flowers under $60 range has options without a vase that still arrive fresh, handmade, and delivered properly by a local florist.
Your order gets routed to a local partner florist near the recipient. They make it fresh, place it in the glass vase, and hand deliver it that day. No warehouse, no postal service, no box sitting in a depot. If you need to change anything after ordering, email [email protected] or call us or use the live chat on the website. If something goes wrong, contact us within 24 hours. We will ask for photos of both sides of the arrangement so we can see what happened and sort it out. We monitor every review through Feefo, where we hold a Trusted Service Award for 2024, 2025, and 2026.
