Flower Delivery Mountain Creek: Same Day

All Occasion Flowers Online to Mountain Creek

During those three days at Caloundra Indoor Sports Stadium watching Ivy play state titles, I heard Mountain Creek mentioned more than almost anywhere else. Parents carpooling from there, kids who went to school together at Mountain Creek State High, someone's sister who'd just moved into one of the newer estates near the university. It's one of those Sunshine Coast suburbs that keeps growing but still feels connected to the coastal strip, close enough to Kawana Waters and Mooloolaba that people move between them without really thinking about it.

That whole tournament was a lesson in how the Sunshine Coast actually works. Sitting with families from Buderim, Maroochydore, Pelican Waters, Currimundi, you realise pretty quickly that nobody thinks in suburb boundaries up there. Someone's cousin in Dicky Beach. Someone's best mate in Sippy Downs. Everyone knows everyone through someone. Ivy was twelve, playing shooter for South Coast, selected from every school between the QLD border and Logan. Her team won the whole thing. Still gives me goosebumps.

But honestly, it was those conversations between games that stuck with me longest. Changed how I thought about all the Sunshine Coast flower orders we'd been taking since 2009.

The Long Road to Mountain Creek Deliveries

Back in 2006, Siobhan and I bought a florist and gift shop in Kingscliff NSW. Shop 1, 98 Marine Parade. We had zero experience with flowers, a baby on the way, and our accountant told us point blank not to do it. We did it anyway.

The plan was to scale back the flowers and build up the gifts side, organic skincare, baby products, that sort of thing. But the previous owner had just paid for a Yellow Pages advertisement (yeah, the actual book) and we kept getting bombarded with calls. Forty plus a day sometimes, for flower deliveries to places we couldn't service. Sunshine Coast calls came through constantly. Mountain Creek, Caloundra, Mooloolaba, Maroochydore, Kawana. For months we said sorry, we can't help.

* This is our shop, back in the day, circa 2006, I was pregnant at the time with Asha, who ended up being one of the biggest girls ever born at John Flynn - a hair under 11lbs! Gosh...

Then one freezing June day in 2007, maybe $25 in the till from an entire day's trade, we had a thought. What if we stopped saying no?

We nervously called a Sunshine Coast florist, explained who we were, asked if she'd help us fill orders in exchange for a small commission covered by adding extra stems to each bouquet. No membership fees, no catches. She said yes. Then another florist said yes. Then another. By 2009 we'd built enough partnerships to launch Lily's Florist as a national brand, and the Sunshine Coast was one of our foundation areas. Mountain Creek has been on the delivery list since pretty much day one.

A Different Sunshine Coast Trip

A few years before Ivy's netball tournament, we took the family up for a proper holiday and stayed in Montville. Asha and Ivy were younger then, maybe 14 and 10, and one afternoon we ended up at the Ginger Factory in Yandina.

That smell when you pull into the car park. Unmistakable.

The girls completely lost it over the ginger beer tour and the Overboard boat ride. Ivy went on that thing three times, absolutely drenched, laughing her head off each time. Asha, being the older and slightly more dignified one, pretended she was too cool for it but ended up going twice anyway. We spent way too much in the gift shop. Ginger jam, ginger chocolates, ginger and macadamia ice cream which was genuinely incredible. Drove back to Montville with the girls buzzing on sugar, through that beautiful hinterland countryside that reminded us exactly why we left Sydney all those years ago.

Two different trips to the Sunshine Coast, years apart, and both times the same feeling. The place just gets under your skin.

Who's Actually Behind This

Here is a photo of us if you want to put faces to names. Siobhan and me (Andrew), plus Asha who's 18 now and about to finish Year 12, and Ivy who's 14 and still playing netball. We're not a corporation with a marketing department and strategic plans. We don't have a boardroom. Business decisions happen at the dinner table, or in the car driving to netball, or sometimes while watching the girls play Tuesday nights at Carrara.

That's Lily's Florist. Started from a shop we were told not to buy, grew into a network of over 800 partner florists, and somehow I ended up watching my daughter win state titles in Caloundra while thinking about how we'd been sending flowers to Mountain Creek for fifteen years without ever really understanding the place until then.

The Practical Stuff

Same day flower delivery to Mountain Creek runs Monday to Saturday. Get your order in before 2pm weekdays or 10am Saturday and your flowers are made that day by a real Sunshine Coast florist. Someone with an actual shop who knows the humidity, the afternoon storms rolling in from the Glasshouse Mountains, the difference between the older parts near the creek and the newer estates closer to the university.

Standard delivery fee is $16.95. Your flowers don't come from a warehouse or get shipped overnight via Australia Post. They're made locally, delivered locally, fresh.

Feefo Reviews

In 2019 we partnered with Feefo, an independent review platform endorsed by Google. Only verified customers can leave feedback. We can't delete bad reviews. We can't get mates to write nice ones. Everything sits there, good and ordinary, for anyone to read.

In 2024 we had over 3,000 reviews and earned a Feefo Trusted Service Award. You need at least 50 reviews averaging 4 stars or above to qualify. We had more than 60 times that minimum. Flowers are subjective, what looks beautiful to one person might be too much for another, so putting ourselves out there with zero control was properly terrifying at first. But it keeps us honest, and honestly, that's the point.

Reasons to Send Flowers to Mountain Creek

Birthdays Mountain Creek's full of families, and birthdays happen constantly. Birthday flowers showing up at someone's door, no warning, is the kind of surprise that actually lands. Works for kids' parties where mum deserves something nice too, or milestone birthdays where you want to make a fuss.

Just Because No occasion required. You thought of someone, you want them to know. Just because flowers are probably our most underrated category. Sometimes the gesture matters more precisely because there's no reason behind it except that you cared enough to do it.

Congratulations New job, new house, kid graduating, someone finally finishing that degree at USC. Mountain Creek's close to the university so we get a fair few of these. Congratulations flowers say well done in a way that a text message just can't.
