Order online or give us a call on 1300 360 469 before 2pm Monday to Friday, or before 10am on Saturday, and your flowers will arrive the same day. Fresh, hand arranged by a real local florist, and delivered to the door. Our standard delivery fee is $16.95 and every product on our website is available for same day delivery to Illawong and the surrounding Sutherland Shire. No warehouses, no Australia Post boxes, no flowers sitting on a truck for three days. Just proper flowers, made properly, by someone who actually knows what they're doing.

* Andrew, me, and the girls. Andrew still talks about those bike rides through Gannons Park like they were last week. It’s that family connection that keeps us grounded.

What Happens When You Order

When you place an order for Illawong, it hits our system and gets routed to one of our partner florists in the area based on the recipient's postcode and what stock that florist has available on the day. If you've ordered a dozen red roses and our nearest florist only has six left, the order moves to the next closest florist who can fill it. Simple as that. Your flowers get made that morning, arranged by hand, and a local courier delivers them. To a business address, usually by 5pm. To a home, by 6pm or 7pm at the latest.

* My 'no-tech' system. This chalkboard is how we ensure your Illawong delivery avoids the warehouse and goes straight to a local shop.

We cover Illawong, Menai, Alfords Point, Bangor, Padstow Heights, and pretty much anywhere else in that pocket of southern Sydney. If for some reason we cannot deliver to a specific address, we will call you before processing the order to sort it out.

A Little Bit About Us and Illawong

My name is Siobhan, I run Lily's Florist with my partner Andrew, and whilst I cannot claim any personal history with Illawong, Andrew can. He grew up in Sydney, out Strathfield way, and his mate Smithy lived in Illawong. A few times each school semester Andrew would make the trek out there by train and bus, bike in tow, and stay the night. The next day they would ride all day through Gannons Park, down near the Georges River, exploring every trail and backstreet they could find. There was one rule and one rule only from Smithy's mum. Be home before the street lights come on. Which apparently they pushed to the absolute limit most days, rolling in just as dusk settled, covered in dirt, completely spent.

That was over 30 years ago now and Andrew says the area has changed a lot since then, as most of Sydney has, but that part of the Sutherland Shire still has that same family feel. Leafy streets, the river nearby, Gannons Park still there for the next generation of kids to tear around in. It feels like the kind of place where flowers actually mean something. A birthday for a mum who has lived there for 40 years. A thank you to a neighbour who grabbed the bins while you were away. An anniversary for a couple who raised their kids in the same house they still live in.

Why We Do Things Differently

Lily's Florist has been around since 2009 and we now work with over 800 partner florists right across Australia. We do not charge our florists membership fees, we never have, and in return they add a little extra into each arrangement to cover our commission. Which means you get better value and they get orders without having to worry about marketing or websites. It works for everyone.

* This was our shop back in 2006 in Kingscliff. While I was busy learning the flower names in Kingscliff, Andrew was already telling me stories about his weekends riding bikes around Illawong and the Sutherland Shire. We had no idea then that our little shop on Marine Parade would eventually be sending flowers back to the same streets Andrew used to explore as a kid.

We are not a massive company. We do not have a boardroom or a marketing team or a squad of lawyers. Business decisions get made at the dinner table, usually while one of us is checking netball schedules or sorting out school drop offs. That is Lily's Florist. Andrew and I, our two daughters Asha and Ivy, and a small team of customer service staff based in Armidale NSW. One of them, Anna, is an ex florist who has been with us for over 15 years. If you call and she picks up, you are in good hands.

Real Reviews From Real Customers

We partnered with Feefo back in 2013 because we wanted honest feedback, even when it stings a little. Feefo only collects reviews from verified customers, people who have actually placed an order, so we cannot fake it, we cannot delete the bad ones, and we cannot get our mates to write nice things. Every single review is real.

* This award represents over 3,000 real stories from our customers. We aren't perfect, but we are honest, and that’s why we’ve been here since 2009.

In 2024 we received over 3,000 reviews and more than 2,400 of those were four or five stars. That earned us a Feefo Trusted Service Award which we are genuinely proud of. Flowers are subjective, what one person loves another might find a bit much, so putting ourselves out there with a third party review system was a risk. But it keeps us honest and it helps us improve.
