New Baby Flowers
Order Florist's Choice Baby Girl Bunch from $70 with $16.95 delivery and we'll have a local florist arrange and deliver your new baby flowers the same day. That particular product is the most popular new baby order in our entire range, and it has been for years. Over 22,800 verified Feefo reviews, 800+ partner florists across Australia. The interesting thing about that bestseller is that the florist picks the stems, not you. Scroll down and we'll explain why that matters more than you'd think, and why it consistently outperforms every fixed design on the site.
Why the Most Popular New Baby Product Lets the Florist Choose
The photo on the Florist's Choice Baby Girl Bunch page is a generic image. It's there to give you a sense of style and colour, not to promise exactly those stems. The florist making your order today has completely different stock. Different growers delivered overnight. Different stems came in fresh. In November it might be peonies and dahlias. In July, lisianthus and spray roses. Year round, pink gerberas are almost always available. The point is that a fixed product design locks you into a generic image. The florist's choice model lets the person making your arrangement work with whatever is at its absolute peak that morning.

"The wholesale range changes every single week. The product image on the website is generic, it gives you the vibe but it's not a promise of specific stems. When the florist picks, they're pulling from what arrived that morning. Peak freshness, best colour, longest vase life. I watched the reorder data for years and florist's choice products consistently outperformed the fixed designs. People think they want control over exactly what goes in. What they actually want is the best possible result, and giving the florist that freedom is how you get it."
Hospital or Home
This is the one decision that genuinely changes which product you should pick. If mum and baby are still in hospital, go with an arrangement. Arrangements arrive in a box with water already in the base. No vase needed, no scissors, no ten minutes of stem trimming while a newborn screams. The box sits flat on those tiny hospital side tables and looks finished from the moment it arrives. Hospitals almost never have vases on hand, and even if they did, nobody recovering from labour wants to deal with one.
Once everyone's home and settled, bunches are a generous and beautiful option. They need a vase and a few minutes of attention, but in a home environment that's no problem. If you're not sure where mum will be on the day, arrangements are the safer bet. You can also send directly to the hospital maternity ward with specific ward and room details at checkout.
Getting the Card Right
Card messages for new babies carry more emotional weight than most people realise. It's not the same as a birthday where "Happy Birthday, love from us" does the job. New parents read everything through a fog of exhaustion and raw emotion. Short, specific, and sincere lands better than long and poetic. Something like "So happy for you both, rest up, love from..." is plenty.
The detail that matters on our end is making sure the message you type gets through exactly as you wrote it. Hospital deliveries already have extra complexity. Ward name, room number, sometimes a bed number if it's a shared room. If mum's been moved between when you ordered and when the driver arrives, those details need to be right.

"Hospital orders with special instructions get called through. Every time. I learned that early at the shop because automated systems lose things. A note about allergies disappears in a text field. A specific request for no lilies because of the scent gets missed. When someone has taken the time to write a proper message for a new baby, that message deserves a human reading it to the florist, not software printing a label. The card is half the gift."
One of our customers, Karen, put it well.
Feefo Verified Review Karen, September 2024
"Very satisfied. I was easily able to find products I was looking for and happy to have my sentiments expressed on a card which were conveyed precisely as I hoped. It was a quick process and an enjoyable experience. Thank you."
Conveyed precisely as she hoped. That's the outcome of someone reading the message before it goes out, not just printing whatever text came through the checkout.
When You Don't Know Boy or Girl
Not everything has to be pink or blue. If the gender is a surprise or you just don't want to go down that path, there are options. White and green arrangements look elegant without committing to a colour. Bright mixed flowers work for any baby. Celebration flowers are designed for exactly this kind of happy occasion without needing to pick a side. And if you really want to keep it simple, the florist's choice model works here too. Tell us gender neutral in the card message notes and the florist will steer away from the obvious pink or blue.
What Happens in the Real World
Hospital deliveries don't always go perfectly. Rooms change, patients get discharged early, wards shuffle people around. The measure of a good delivery isn't that nothing goes wrong. It's what happens when something does.
Feefo Verified Review Ciaran, December 2023
"Very good service. Will use Lily's Florist again. Despite minor glitch, delivery was successful & my daughter in law loved the New Baby Girl bouquet."
A glitch that got solved. The florist hit a problem, worked through it, and the flowers still arrived. That's the partner network doing its job. Compare that with a warehouse operation shipping via Australia Post where nobody is there to figure it out if something goes sideways.
And then there are the straightforward ones.
Feefo Verified Review New Baby Order
"Despite ordering from Melbourne the flowers were delivered same day & I viewed a pic of new parents leaving hospital with flowers in hand & they still looked fresh."
Ordered from Melbourne, delivered same day to a hospital in another city, new parents walked out with the flowers still looking fresh. That's the network. A local florist made those flowers that morning, not a warehouse three states away.
Other Ideas Worth Considering
If there are older siblings at home, a gift hamper with something for the big brother or sister can make a real difference. New babies get all the attention and older kids notice. A small gesture that includes them goes a long way.
Midwives and nurses deserve a thank you too. We get orders every week from people sending flowers to the ward staff after they've gone home. It's a small thing that means a lot to people who spend their days looking after other people's families.
If budget is a factor, we have a full range of flowers under $60 and our pink flowers collection has options across every price point.
How to Order
Online at lilysflorist.com.au or call 1300 360 469 during business hours, Monday to Friday 7am to 6pm, Saturday 7am to 12pm. For same day delivery, get your order in before 2pm on weekdays or 10am on Saturdays.
No Sunday delivery. The wholesale flower markets close Saturday afternoon. Any florist delivering on Sunday would be using Friday's stock, which has already lost two or three days of vase life before it reaches the vase. We'd rather not offer it than offer something that doesn't meet the standard.
Delivery is $16.95. That's subsidised. The actual cost of sending a driver with a van and a delivery window in most Australian cities runs higher than that. We absorb the difference because delivery charges shouldn't be the reason someone decides not to send flowers to a new mum.
Your order gets routed to a local partner florist in the delivery area. They source, prepare, and deliver on the same day. If anything goes wrong, contact us within 24 hours at updatemyorder@lilysflorist.com.au with photos of both sides of the arrangement. You can also call 1300 360 469 or use live chat on the website.
