Shop ByHampton VIC Flower Delivery, Same Day to Home or School
Flowers reach Hampton homes today when the order is in before 2pm on a weekday or 10am on a Saturday; later than that, the date is chosen at checkout. Our Rose, Gerbera & Lilies Bunch below is the reliable birthday all-rounder. Hampton Primary School on Hampton Street is a big school, so for a teacher add the year level with the name. Shop online, or call us and we'll take you through it.

Roses that will open, and how to tell before they go
Anna, qualified florist | on choosing roses that open
Teacher flowers go home on the last day of term and have to carry on into the holidays, so the roses in them need to open over the following week. There is a tell for that. Look at the green sepals under the bud. When they have folded back to about ninety degrees from the head, the bud has stored enough sugar to open properly.
A tight bud with the sepals still hugging it photographs beautifully and can sit closed for days, then drop its head without ever opening. I used to check the sepals on every bucket at the market before I bought, and it was the one habit that changed how long a bunch lasted for someone. At home, a cool spot away from the window lets them open slowly instead of all at once.
Teacher Flowers, From Order to Classroom
How an end-of-year school order travels
Five steps between your checkout and the teacher's desk.
- 1. A day early
In the last week of term, order the day before. The office is busy enough without a stack arriving at once.
- 2. Made that morning
One of our partner florists near Hampton builds it from the day's stock.
- 3. The front office
In our experience schools take flowers at the front office.
- 4. Name and year level
The teacher's full name and their year level, or the office is guessing between two teachers with the same first name.
- 5. Before the bell
Offices tend to empty after school finishes, so a school-day delivery is the one to aim for.
Ready? Choose a flower bunch
With more than 650 students at Hampton Primary, the year level is the line that gets the flowers out of the office and into the right classroom.
Teachers, Bluff Road Birthdays and Holyrood Street
The school year shapes a lot of Hampton's flower-giving: December brings teacher thank-yous, with birthdays at the house the rest of the time, and anniversary flowers in between.
The Last Week of Term
It is December, your kids are at Hampton Primary on Hampton Street or St Mary's on Holyrood Street, and the class wants to say thank you. Send it to the school office with the teacher's full name and year level, a day before the last day.
In the shop years I delivered eleven teacher bunches to the office at Kingscliff Public School on the last day of term, and the office ran out of vases by the fourth. Our thank-you flowers carry a card like “Thank you for a brilliant year. From all of 4B.”
When the teacher gets them home, a fresh cut at an angle and straight into water. A flat cut can seal against the bottom of the vase and stop the stem drinking.
A Birthday at the Apartments on Bluff Road
Your mother lives at Aveo Concierge Bayside on Bluff Road, in a serviced apartment, and she is turning eighty. The building has a main reception, so her full name and apartment number go in the notes, and in our experience reception sends them up.
Our 80th birthday flowers suit a round number, and birthday flowers for Mum any other year.
Anna, on a small apartment table
If the flowers come wrapped, the vase matters. Too wide and the stems splay and flop; too narrow and they crush together. A little room, with enough support.
Requiem at St Mary’s on Holyrood Street
Someone has died and the Requiem is at St Mary's on Holyrood Street, or the service is at Tobin Brothers on Martin Street in Brighton. You cannot be there, and you want something there for you.
For the church or the chapel, the service time and the family name. Our white sympathy flowers suit the service, and sympathy flowers for the home the weeks after. A card can say simply “With love and sympathy, from all of us.”
If the family is taking the flowers home after the service, ask for an arrangement in its own container. A church spray has nowhere to go in a kitchen.
An Order That Needs No Reason
A neighbour back from hospital, a friend's new grandchild, a good week. You do not need an occasion.
Anna's pick: our blue flowers. Blue reads calm in any room, and in a cool house a blue delphinium holds its colour well past the first week.

When to order
Before 2pm on weekdays, so the florist can build it and reach the schools before the bell.
Before 10am on Saturdays, as the Saturday run is short in our experience.
No Sunday delivery, except Mother's Day.
What to write
Hampton Primary on Hampton Street or St Mary's on Holyrood Street: the teacher's full name and year level. Aveo Concierge Bayside on Bluff Road: the full name and apartment number. St Mary's church or Tobin Brothers in Brighton: the service time and family name. A townhouse: the unit number.
Who takes it in
The school office, reception on Bluff Road, whoever is setting up at the church, and at a house whoever is home. Before 2pm on a weekday, it goes out that afternoon.
Where the Order Goes Next
We send the order to one of our partner florists near Hampton that day, and they make it up from the morning's stock. If a stem in the photo has not come in, they keep to the colour and the size.
If anything is wrong, a photo the same day lets us fix it. Ring 1300 360 469 from 7am to 6pm on weekdays or from 10am on Saturdays, and send changes to [email protected].
Siobhan, on the teacher who never rings
December on the phones was teachers, teachers, teachers, and I used to wonder what happened to all those cards afterwards (ask any teacher about the drawer). They will not ring you to say thanks; they are packing up a classroom. The thing that went wrong most often was an order for the very last day, after the office had shut for the year, so get it in a day early. Your kid will hear about it in February.
A thank-you from a whole class lands differently from one parent's, so put the class on the card.
