Same Day Flowers Delivery - Australia Wide!
You may be curious to know what is a partner florist and what does it mean for your flower order. To put it simply, Lily's Florist has a number of partner, real florists in and around Yandina, including nearby Sunshine Coast suburbs and outer areas. These partners have real stores and shops, hire real and local staff and are experts in their field. Our flowers don't come from a warehouse, or are posted overnight. Your flowers are made by these local experts.
When you order your flowers to Yandina, or surrounding areas, whether you order by phone or online, your order is routed to one of our local partner florists based not only on the postcode where the flowers are going, but what is in the partner shop at the time. For example, if you ordered 24 red roses to Yandina and our partner florist only had 12 red roses left for that day, the order will be rerouted to the next florist closest to Yandina, that florist would then deliver your roses, it really is that simple.

In 2007 my partner Siobhan and I bought a florist and gift shop in Northern NSW called Kingscliff Florist. We knew nothing about flowers but had a vision to tone down the flower side and build up the gifts side of the business to include products like skin care for men and women, baby products like BPA free baby bottles (this was before anyone even knew what BPA was), and just a few flowers in store for walk-ins that we had a contract florist deliver daily to the store for us. At least that was the plan.
Unbeknownst to us, the previous owner had taken out a Yellow Pages advertisement (yeah the book, remember those?) just before we bought the business, at great cost to her back then, so that explained the 40+ calls a day we were still getting in the shop much to our annoyance at times, as our baby Asha was often trying to sleep in the back of the shop and the phone was really loud. Our focus was more on gifts, not flowers.
What struck us more than anything was the amount of calls we were turning away for people wanting to order flowers to other parts of Australia, places like Yandina included. That is how it was done back then, you call your local florist shop and ask them to organise the flowers for you.
After months of turning all those calls away, a thunderous light bulb moment appeared whilst counting the 'cents' we had made that cold winters day in June 2007, really struggling hard. What if we took the orders for those people calling, called around ourselves, and filled the orders for them whilst taking a small commission for our efforts?

We had previously had loads of Sunshine Coast flower calls over 6 months, all of which we had turned away, including quite a few to Yandina. So we decided to take the next one. Nervously, we found and called a florist on the Sunshine Coast. We told the owner who we were and asked if they could help us, they agreed. Over the next few months we built more relationships with florists in the area and thought to ourselves, we had 'cut our teeth' in ecommerce by making a website for our gift shop, what if we made websites for these florists and gave them all the orders that came via them.
Based on the calls we were getting in the shop, we rolled that model out to a number of other, mainly regional, areas around Australia but after some time, having to manage so many websites became impossible so we decided to shut all the websites down, created one national brand and call it Lily's Florist, and build landing pages for those florists we had partnered with instead. In 2009, Lily's Florist was born and Yandina was one of our foundation locations and pages, yes, this very page you are on right now, built all those years ago.
Now, I have to share something personal about Yandina because it's not just a delivery location on a map for us, it holds real memories. A few years back, we took the family up to the Sunshine Coast for a proper holiday, staying in Montville for a few days. The girls, Asha and Ivy, were younger then, maybe 14 and 10 or thereabouts, and we spent one gloriously sunny afternoon at the Ginger Factory in Yandina. Speaking of family, here we all are. Andrew, Ivy, me and Asha...

I remember pulling into the car park, the smell of ginger in the air (you can't miss it), and the girls absolutely losing their minds over the ginger beer factory tour and the Overboard ride. Ivy must have gone on that boat ride three times, soaking wet, laughing her head off each time. Asha, being the older and slightly more dignified one at that point, pretended she was too cool for it but ended up going twice anyway.
We spent way too much money in the gift shop, as you do, bought more ginger products than any family could reasonably consume (ginger jam, ginger chocolates, ginger ice cream, you name it), and drove back to Montville with the girls buzzing on sugar and excitement. The drive through Yandina itself, with its beautiful countryside feel and that mix of rural charm with just enough modern convenience, reminded us why we loved regional Australia so much. It's that same feeling that made us leave Sydney all those years ago.
Every time I see an order come through for Yandina now, I think about that trip. The ice cream we had (the ginger and macadamia flavour was incredible), walking around the markets, the warm afternoon sunshine. It's those little connections that make this job more than just sending flowers, you know?
There's something about anniversary flowers that never gets old. Maybe someone's celebrating 5 years, maybe 50, but the sentiment is the same. Yandina and the surrounding Sunshine Coast area have some beautiful spots for anniversary celebrations. I can imagine couples heading to one of those gorgeous hinterland restaurants in Montville or Maleny, or maybe keeping it low-key with a picnic somewhere scenic. Having fresh flowers delivered to surprise them at home before they head out, or sent to their accommodation if they're staying locally, adds that extra layer of thoughtfulness that makes the day memorable.
When someone has a new baby, the chaos is real but so is the joy. Sending new baby flowers to Yandina is perfect because they're designed to be low-maintenance. New parents don't have time to fuss with complicated arrangements that need constant attention. Our new baby arrangements come in special boxes, no vase needed, easy to care for. Perfect for when someone's juggling nappies, feeds, and trying to remember if they've had a shower that day (spoiler: they probably haven't). We always suggest these for hospital deliveries too, though make sure you have all the ward details and bed numbers, hospitals can be tricky for deliveries.
Honestly, just because flowers might be my favourite. No special occasion, no reason other than "I thought of you" or "you deserve something nice today". There's something beautifully uncomplicated about that. Maybe you're sending them to your mum in Yandina on a random Tuesday, maybe to a friend who's having a rough week, maybe to yourself because why not. These orders always feel the most genuine to us, like pure kindness with no agenda attached.
Look, I'll be honest with you. When we first signed up with Feefo back in 2013, we were terrified. Absolutely bricking it. The idea of putting ourselves out there with a completely independent review system where we had zero control over what people said? Where every single customer who bought flowers could leave a review, good or bad, and we couldn't delete it, couldn't fake it, couldn't get our mates to write nice things? That was scary.

But we did it anyway because we genuinely wanted to know what we were doing right and what we were doing wrong. Flowers are subjective, right? What one person sees as "romantic and lush," another might see as "a bit much". So real feedback from real customers felt essential, even if it was going to sting sometimes.
In 2024, just like 2025, Lily's Florist earned a Feefo Trusted Service Award for customer service. To qualify, you need at least 50 reviews with an average rating of 4 stars or higher. We got 3,025 reviews in that period, with 2,406 of them being 4 or 5 stars. That's over 60 times the minimum required to qualify, which still kind of blows my mind.
After you order flowers from us, Feefo (not us, completely independent) sends you an email asking about your experience. We can't see it beforehand, can't edit it, can't delete bad reviews. It's completely transparent. Every customer gets the chance to review us, whether they ordered online or over the phone. Feefo randomly selects up to 300 customers each month to keep things manageable.
The reviews sit on our Feefo page for anyone to see. If you want to know what real customers think about us before ordering, that's the place to look. No smoke and mirrors, just honest feedback.
