Flower Delivery Suffolk Park: Same Day

Send Fresh Flowers to Suffolk Park Today

Order flowers to Suffolk Park before 2pm weekdays or 10am Saturdays and we'll have them delivered same day for $16.95. We're an Australian family business, Mum and Dad run, with over 800 partner florists across the country. Suffolk Park sits just 10 minutes from where our whole journey nearly began. Byron Bay was on our shortlist back in 2006 when we were looking for a sea change, and Suffolk Park came with it. We ended up in Kingscliff instead, but this stretch of coast has never felt far from home.

Why Order Flowers with Lily's Florist?

My name is Siobhan, and I own Lily's Florist with my partner Andrew. We're based in Kingscliff, about an hour south of Suffolk Park, and we drive through this area probably once a month. Sometimes it's netball at Ballina (but mostly on the Gold Coast), sometimes it's a lazy Sunday trip up to grab coffee at the bakery in Bangalow and then loop back via Suffolk Park to show the kids where we almost ended up living.

Back in 2006, pregnant with our first daughter Asha, we flew into Ballina and spent a week driving around trying to figure out where to start our new life. Byron Bay was the obvious choice but way out of our budget. Suffolk Park felt calmer, more real, less of the tourist circus that Byron was already becoming. We drove past rentals, scoped out commercial leases, imagined ourselves there. In the end, we crossed that old timber bridge into Kingscliff, saw Cudgen Creek at high tide, and that was it. Decision made.

But Suffolk Park has always stayed with us. The relaxed pace, the way the beach stretches out past Tallow, the kind of people who live there because they genuinely love it rather than just passing through. Sending flowers here feels personal in a way that some locations simply do not. And the Golf Course up the road that Andrew still has nightmares about playing there, very, very poorly.

How Our Partner Florist Network Actually Works

We get asked this a lot, so here's the short version.

Lily's Florist is not a single flower shop. We're an Australia wide network of over 800 real florist shops, proper bricks and mortar businesses, Mum and Dad operations like ours. When you order flowers to Suffolk Park, your order gets routed to one of our local partner florists in the Northern Rivers region based on the delivery postcode and what stock they have that day.

Your flowers are made fresh by a qualified florist in a real shop. They're delivered by local couriers who know the streets, who know that Suffolk Park has those tricky driveways off Alcorn Street, who know when someone's likely to be home. No warehouses. No overnight Australia Post. No factory production lines.

This model came from necessity back in 2007 when we were getting 40 plus calls a day for flower deliveries to places we couldn't reach from our tiny shop in Kingscliff. The first florist we ever partnered with was in Murwillumbah. I drove out there with baby Asha in the car seat, walked into The Flower Shed, and asked if she'd help us fill orders. She said yes. That single conversation became the foundation for everything we've built since.

Same Day Flower Delivery to Suffolk Park

All our flowers are available for same day delivery to Suffolk Park when you order before 2pm Monday to Friday, or before 10am on Saturdays. Delivery is $16.95, which is actually subsidised because the real cost is often higher, especially in areas outside major city centres.

If you order after the cut-off time, we'll deliver first thing the next business day. We don't deliver on Sundays except for Mother's Day.

Business addresses usually receive flowers by 5pm. Private residences by 6pm or 7pm at the latest. If no one is home, our courier will leave the flowers in a safe spot out of direct sunlight and away from street view. If that's not possible, they'll call the recipient to arrange something else.

30% of Our Customers Still Call to Order

I know this might seem old fashioned, but roughly 30% of people who order flowers from us still pick up the phone. And honestly, we love it.

There's something about flowers that makes people want to talk to a real person. I think it comes down to the fact that flowers are almost always emotional. You're sending them because someone died, or had a baby, or you forgot an anniversary and you're in damage control mode, or your Mum is turning 70 and you want it to be perfect. These aren't transactions like ordering a phone case. There's weight to them. And when something has weight, people want reassurance that it's being handled properly.

We hear it constantly on the calls. "I just wanted to make sure someone real was on the other end." Or "I'm hopeless at this, can you help me pick something?" Or my personal favourite, "I have no idea what to write on the card." That last one comes up more than you'd think. People freeze when they have to put their feelings into a few sentences. Our team talks them through it, asks a few questions, and suddenly the words come out. Sometimes the caller is crying by the end. Sometimes they're laughing. It's genuinely one of the most human parts of what we do.

The other reason people call is timing. When you need flowers delivered today and it's already 1:30pm, you don't want to risk the online checkout taking too long or making a mistake with the address. You want someone to confirm, yes, we can get it there, here's what we have available, done. That peace of mind is worth the phone call.

Our team is based in Armidale NSW. All Australian, all trained in house, and several of them are ex florists. Anna has been with us for over 15 years now. She started back when we were still working out of a converted double garage in Pottsville, answering calls while I was heavily pregnant with Ivy and the phones were ringing off the hook during Valentine's week. When you call, you might get her, and if you're unsure what to order, she'll help you figure it out. She can talk you through what's in season, what works for the occasion, what size to choose. If you need help writing the card message, she'll do that too.

We also don't hide the phone number. Some of our competitors make it nearly impossible to find a contact number, or they route you through chatbots, or the call centre is offshore and the person on the other end has no idea what a gerbera is. We put our number front and centre because we actually want you to call if that's what you prefer. It's 1300 360 469, Monday to Friday 7am to 6pm, Saturdays 7am to 12pm.

Customer Reviews You Can Actually Trust

In 2013 we partnered with Feefo, an independent review platform endorsed by Google. The way it works is simple. After you order, Feefo (not us) sends you an email asking about your experience. We can't edit the reviews, we can't delete the bad ones, we can't get family members to write nice things. It's completely out of our hands.

* Verified trust. Our 4.3-star rating is the honest truth from 23,000+ customers who left reviews. We’re proud to be two-time Feefo Trusted Service Award winners.

Flowers are subjective. What one person sees as lush and romantic, another might see as over the top. So putting ourselves out there with zero control over the feedback was a risk. But it's been worth it because the reviews help us improve, and they help you see what to expect.

Since partnering with Feefo, we've collected over 23,000 reviews. Some ordinary, some okay, most genuinely excellent. In 2024 and again in 2025, we received the Feefo Trusted Service Award for outstanding customer service. To qualify, a business needs at least 50 reviews with an average of 4 stars or higher. We had over 3,000 in the qualifying period.

Here's what some customers have said:

"Communication was great all round. Website noted all flowers may not be available for certain bunches, and soon after I placed the order, they sent me an SMS and email advising they'd need to modify the ordered bunch at the local florist."

"Placed an order late on Christmas Eve and it was delivered that afternoon. The recipient received an SMS with a photo on their phone from the delivery person letting them know it was waiting for them."

"Easy to order. Arrived exactly as requested. Absolutely beautiful."

Popular Flower Categories for Suffolk Park

I asked Anna, who has been with us for over 15 years and started her career as a qualified florist, which categories she sees ordered most to the Northern Rivers region. Her answer didn't surprise me.

Flowers for Mum

Anna says this is consistently our highest volume category across Australia, but especially strong in coastal areas like Suffolk Park where adult children have moved away for work and their parents have stayed or retired to the beach.

"A lot of these orders come from people in Sydney or Melbourne who grew up in the Northern Rivers," Anna told me. "They want their Mum to know they're thinking of her, especially for birthdays and Mother's Day, but also just randomly. Those spontaneous orders are actually the most fun to take because the sender is usually quite emotional about it."

For flowers going to Mum, Anna recommends our pastel toned arrangements or native Australian flowers. She says natives hold up well in the coastal humidity and have a grounded, earthy feel that suits the area.

Flowers for a Friend

Suffolk Park attracts a particular kind of person. Creative types, people who've chosen a slower pace, those who've built strong community ties because they're not just passing through. Anna says friendship flowers are huge in this postcode.

"It's not always a big occasion," she explains. "Sometimes someone's friend has had a rough week, or they've just achieved something small but meaningful. Flowers for friends tend to be bright and cheerful rather than formal. Sunflowers do really well. Gerberas. Anything with personality."

She also mentioned that Suffolk Park recipients are usually home during the day, which makes delivery easier. "You don't get as many missed deliveries in areas like this. People are around. They're often working from home or retired. It's a different rhythm."

60th Birthday Flowers

This one surprised me a little, but Anna explained the demographic logic.

"Suffolk Park has a lot of people in their late 50s and 60s. They've semi retired, moved up from the cities, bought a place near the beach. So 60th birthdays are genuinely common. And the orders often come from family members interstate who want to send something meaningful."

For milestone birthdays, Anna recommends our larger arrangements. "A 60th is a proper occasion. You don't want something that looks like an afterthought. Go for size, go for colour, and always include a good card message. That's what people remember."

About Our Family

Lily's Florist is owned and run by me (Siobhan) and my partner Andrew. We don't have a board of directors, a marketing department, or an offshore call centre. Business decisions get made at our dinner table in Kingscliff, usually while the kids are arguing about something unrelated.

Our daughters are Asha, who turns 19 in May 2026 and is about to graduate, and Ivy, who turns 15 in February 2026. Both of them have grown up with this business. Asha was literally in a baby seat in the back of the car when we drove out to meet our first partner florist in 2009. She's the one who broke a gift on the shelf and created the most awkward icebreaker imaginable.

* The team behind the dinner table. Siobhan, Andrew, Asha, and Ivy. We’ve been running Lily's together since that first scouting trip to Ballina in 2006.

We started this business in 2006 by buying a struggling florist and gift shop in Kingscliff. We knew nothing about flowers. Our accountant told us not to buy it. We did anyway. The shop had a Yellow Pages ad that generated 40 plus calls a day for areas we couldn't service. That problem became the foundation of our partner model.

By 2009 we'd sold the physical shop and gone fully online. By 2013 we had 160 partner florists. Today we have over 800, covering every state including Tasmania. The team is still based in Australia, still answers the phone themselves, still cares about getting it right.
