This is a flower order we fulfilled recently, a pretty pastel bouquet. For ease of transport and presentation we will sometimes use or offer our customers these neat ‘cardboard vases’.
If the bouquet will be at a hospital or similar place, it is very handy – particularly if you don’t want to send something permanent such as a glass vase. The vase is lined with thick plastic, so it can hold water and keep the bouquet hydrated for a couple of days with no problems.

These interesting rhipsalis plants would have to be one of our favourite things – they are remarkably hardy – putting up with it if we over or under water. Also, unlike other succulent varieties, they are okay out of direct sun, which is awesome, because come on, don’t we all want to grow succulents inside? (They do still need light of course, but can survive well in a window with a little morning light.)
Check out more plants in our online shop, or pop in today.

Large or small, pretty, or bold and vibrant – our job is to create beautiful flowers for any occasion. If you have something particular in mind, just let us know and we’ll do our best.
Here is an example of a bespoke pretty bouquet in a vase, going out for delivery.

How lovely and interesting are these cotton stems? Puff-ball cloudy fun things! It reminds me of country drives and stopping to looking at the scenery…

We have a limited few in store from time to time – you should come get some!

‘We will remember them…’

If you’re after something unusual, check out these curious hanging ornaments. We have put them together using hard-wood off-cuts, test tubes, and random interestingly textured dried flowers.
These are also suitable to use with individual fresh flower stems or artificial blooms.

Sunflowers have been growing in popularity recently, and we’ve noticed more and more of you are asking for them. Which is great! We love sunflowers too.

We try to stock them every week, but don’t have them all the time. If you would like us to keep some aside for you, let us know the week before you will need them. Sunflowers usually come in on a Monday (but not always, sometimes they come on other days too, so just let us know what is best for you.)

Some things to keep in mind when ordering sunflowers:

– Sunflowers often come in tight, still to open up. So they might look like green buds for a few days. If you need them to be open or opening, you will need to let us know ahead of time by a few days.
– Sunflower stems are soft and go yukky quickly in water. Make sure you re-cut the stems every other day and change the water to keep the water and the sunflowers fresh.

Some beautiful tones that are getting chosen more often over the last year are burgundy with complimentary colours. Burgundy can look especially striking with deep pink. It can look very elegant with ivory, and rustic when paired with wildflowers. It is a deep, enthralling and moody colour, but never overwhelms if cleverly offset.

If you’re not sure what flowers to send, but know that the recipient would like something informal and sweet? Let us select them for you. We’ve added a new item to the online shop called ‘cottage bouquet‘. We will choose the most appropriate beautiful blooms for the occasion. Let us know if you’d prefer soft or bright tones and we’ll do our best to make it super lovely.

Is there a product you’d like us to stock? Let us know!

We are always wanting to improve our service with new and exciting, fun things. Would you like to see more cheap market bunches? More designerly vase arrangements? More tropical flowers? So many possibilities!

Or, do you, or someone you know, make handmade crafty items like cards or candles, that you would like to see in a retail shop? We are always open to looking at new things, and especially locally made or locally designed things. We would love to stock even more Gold Coast made goods. We already have soaps made in Parkwood (Two Winged Fruit), chocolates made in Molendinar (Belgian Delights), and gift cards designed in Queensland (Pink Blossom Tree), but we would love to see even more!

If you are keen, send through some details about you and your product, wholesale pricing and the RRP, and we’ll consider whether or not we think it is a good fit with our shop.

We’ve had this new little item up for a short while, and glad to see people are liking it. When you’d like some cute flowers presented nicely in a vase, but don’t want to go overboard, this one is for you.

We’ll make up a selection of nice seasonal blooms of the day, and dress them up schmick as.

Let us know if you’d like any particular colour theme when ordering.

Phone or pop in, or order online here.

We’re often asked “What’s the appropriate thing to send for a sympathy?”.

These days, there really is no specific ‘correct thing’ in terms of flowers, unless the family or individual is known to have a specific preference or dislike of certain blooms.

If in doubt, white and green is always classic, and doesn’t have to be ‘dull and boring’ as is sometimes assumed. We use a lovely selection of blooms of different sizes and textures. But, something colourful is often a lovely idea too, as you are celebrating the life of a person, which is a beautiful, many faceted thing.

Browse through our sympathy collection for more ideas.

Not sure about sending fresh flowers on Valentine’s Day? While we love fresh flowers (come on, we’re florists!) we do have other options too – from plants, teddies and chocolates, to these gorgeous preserved roses in glass.

There are a few different sizes available, from tiny vials to glass globes. We also have some different colours from time to time.

Preserved roses are a lovely keepsake, and with the right care (kept dry and out of direct sun, easy!) they will last for over a year.

Check out our preserved items here.

Do you need flowers delivered on the Gold Coast? Look no further!
