Flower Delivery Lara: Same Day

Same day flower delivery to Lara VIC. Order before 2pm weekdays or 10am Saturdays and a partner florist near Geelong makes and delivers your flowers that same day. Call 1300 360 469 or order online. Delivery is $16.95. Our Single Wrapped Red Rose starts from $42.95, or try Florist's Choice from $71.95 where your florist picks the freshest stems in their shop. We're Lily's Florist, a family business from Kingscliff NSW, and Geelong was one of the very first regions we expanded into back when we were still building this whole thing from our garage.

Lily's Florist Delivers Monday to Saturday

*  Where it all started. The Kingscliff shop we bought in 2006 against our accountant's advice. The Kodak sign in the window tells you how long ago that was.

Geelong holds a particular spot in our story. When we were expanding Lily's Florist from our home office in Pottsville around 2009, faxing orders (yes, faxing) to partner florists and running on about four hours sleep, Geelong was one of the first wave of regional cities we reached out to. Alongside places like Bendigo, Ballarat, and Launceston, we cold called florists in the Geelong area and asked if they'd take orders from us. No membership fees, no contracts, just a transparent commission covered by adding a few extra stems. Every florist we spoke to said yes. That model still works the same way today and our Geelong region partners, some going on fifteen years now, are the ones who make and deliver your flowers to Lara.

One of our Feefo verified customers put it well: "This is the third time I have used Lily's Florist Australia, twice online while living overseas and now online in Stage 3 lockdown in Geelong West. Website is easy to navigate, placing an order was fast and easy, very impressed, very happy, will certainly continue to use Lily's Florist in the future." Another said simply: "Yes would recommend, I live interstate and do not know shops in Geelong." That is exactly the problem we solve. You do not need to know a florist in Lara. We already do.

What to Send to Lara

If you are sending flowers to a new family in Lara, Anna, who trained as a florist and spent fifteen years on the bench before joining us, has a practical rule. "New baby flowers need to be fuss free. Nothing that sheds petals, nothing with intense scent that might bother the baby, nothing that needs attention. New parents are not going to be trimming stems and changing water. Simple arrangement, easy care, bright but not overwhelming." Our New Baby flowers and gifts include arrangements with plush teddy bears, greeting balloons, and options in pink or blue.

For birthdays, consider what the person actually likes before defaulting to roses. If you know their favourite colour, shop by colour instead. Yellow for something cheerful, pink for something soft, red if you want bold and classic. The Single Wrapped Red Rose says a lot with very little, and works just as well for a thank you or an apology as it does for romance.

If someone in Lara has lost a loved one, sympathy flowers in whites and soft creams are usually the right call. We offer wreaths and sheaths for services, and quieter arrangements for the home. If you are unsure about timing or what to send, call us on 1300 360 469 and our team will talk you through it.

And if you genuinely have no idea what to send, go with Florist's Choice at $71.95. You tell us the occasion, and your Lara florist picks what looks best in their shop that day. Seasonal stems, properly fresh, arranged by someone who does this every morning. If budget is tight, we have plenty of flowers under $60 that still look like you put thought into it, because you did.

Ordering and Delivery to Lara

The 2pm weekday cutoff and 10am Saturday cutoff exist because rushing a florist leads to mistakes. Your order needs time to be received, accepted by the right partner florist in the Geelong area, made up with fresh stems, and delivered by someone who knows the local streets. In summer, delivery vans can hit forty five degrees inside during the middle of the day. Experienced florists route their deliveries around the heat, doing outer suburbs early and avoiding long stretches in peak afternoon. That routing takes planning, and planning takes time. Orders placed after cut-off go out first thing the next business day.

* How it works. You order, we connect with a partner florist near Lara, they make and deliver your flowers fresh that day. No warehouse. No Australia Post. No boxes.

We do not deliver on Sundays. Flower markets close Saturday afternoon, and Friday stock loses significant vase life by Sunday. It is a quality decision, not a convenience one.

Delivery to Lara is $16.95, which we subsidise. The actual cost of getting a courier from a florist shop to a residential address is often higher, but we absorb the difference to keep it fair. All prices on our website include GST.

When you place an order to Lara, it hits our partner network and is routed to a florist based on your recipient's postcode. That florist makes the arrangement fresh and their courier delivers it. This is not a warehouse operation. These are real florist shops with trained staff, proper refrigeration, and local delivery drivers. Read more about how our partner network operates.

If something goes wrong, contact us within 24 hours. Email photos of both sides of the arrangement to [email protected], or call 1300 360 469, or use our live chat. We work with you and the delivering florist to find the right solution. We take this seriously because our 22,000 plus verified Feefo reviews and consecutive Trusted Service Awards depend on getting it right.
