One of our partner florists near Reedy Creek makes it on the day of delivery.
To whoever opens the door, the school office, the ward desk, care home reception, or the funeral director before the service.
The one line that saves a phone call: the full name, and exactly where in the building it is going.
Flowers sent to a school make two trips: the delivery, then the drive home after the bell
Flowers sent to a school get delivered, then driven home. After school the teacher carries them out to a car that has sat in the sun since eight. A hand-tied bunch rides on its side on the back seat, the water bag tips, and the outer heads snap over on the first corner.
For a school, go with an arrangement. It sits flat in the footwell and the wet foam inside keeps the stems drinking the whole way. Every December at Salt the orders for teachers were the ones I built lowest, because I knew where they were going next. Once it's home, it wants a little water in the foam every second day.
Birthdays, school thank-yous and funerals are the three occasions this page is built around, and each card says what the notes need. For a birthday at the house, one of our hand-tied flower bunches is right. For a school, take Anna's advice above and go with an arrangement, and for a funeral the card below has wreaths and sheaths.
It's their birthday, they're at school or work all day, and you want something there when they walk in.
Plenty of Reedy Creek houses are empty between drop-off and pick-up. Most of our daughters' friends live here or a street or two out, so I hear about a lot of these birthdays from the back seat. Put a mobile number someone will answer in the notes, and a shady place to leave them if nobody's home. Our birthday flowers cover every age, and there are birthday flowers for a friend too.
If it's for a teenager and there's no vase in their room, a drink bottle will do. Cut the stems to about one and a half times its height, or they flop over the side.
The teacher who got your kid through Year 12, or the one who got a five-year-old through their first year of Prep.
Asha went to school in Reedy Creek from Year 7 to Year 12, Ivy still does, and I'm on these roads every other day. For King's Christian College on Gemvale Road or Hillcrest Christian College on Bridgman Drive, put the teacher's full name and year level in the notes, and the flowers usually go to the school office. In 2008 I drove a thank-you bunch from our Marine Parade shop to King's and got there at ten to three. I didn't know about pick-up. Twenty minutes in the queue, flowers on the passenger seat, no child to collect. Order in the morning. The florist would rather beat that queue than join it. Our thank-you flowers suit the teacher, and graduation flowers are better sent to the house, because nobody at a ceremony has a free hand.
Anna's pick: the Gorgeous White Arrangement. It rides home in a footwell without tipping.
You have the notice in front of you: a time, a church, maybe Reedy Creek Baptist Church on Gemvale Road.
Put the name of the person who has died, the service time and the funeral director in the notes. In our experience the funeral director takes the flowers in before the service and sets them out. Our wreaths and sheaths rest on a casket or a stand, and there's more in our funeral flowers. On the card: "Thinking of you all today."
Whites, creams and soft greens sit back in a church and leave the room to the person being remembered. If the family asked for colour, send colour.
A housewarming up Abbey Ridge Road, a new neighbour, a friend who has had a rough week. Not every reason to send flowers has a name.
Ask Anna and she'll point you to the Beautiful Pastels Bunch: soft pinks and creams sit with whatever is already in a house, and nobody has to love a colour. Afternoon sun through a west window fades pink petals; keep it out of that and the pinks hold. More in our pink flowers.

At schools, hospitals and care homes, in our experience the office, ward desk or reception signs for the flowers and passes them on. For a service, the funeral director. At a house, whoever opens the door. In before the cutoff, out today.
You get an email confirming the order, and a florist in or close to Reedy Creek makes it on the day and delivers it. Most days that is the whole story. If something isn't right, ring our team on 1300 360 469 (7am to 6pm weekdays, from 10am Saturday) or email [email protected]. A photo sent the same day lets us sort it out with the florist straight away.
A teenager will tell their friends about the flowers well before they tell you, which is lovely, and a little bit rude. Silence on the day is normal (with grown-ups too, if we're being fair). When I was on the phones, the orders that went wrong nearly always came down to a missing bit of the address: a unit letter, or a house that turned out to be on the street behind. So check the address once more, then let it go.
Thanks for sending something into Reedy Creek.
