When it comes to sending flowers, you want the process to be as smooth and convenient as possible, especially when delivering to loved ones across Brisbane. At Flowers Brisbane, we take pride in offering top-quality flower delivery services across the city. To help you make the most of your floral gift-giving experience, here are our top flower delivery tips to ensure your blooms arrive fresh, beautiful, and on time.
1. Plan your delivery in advance
While we offer next-day delivery across Brisbane, planning ahead ensures you get the best selection of flowers and gives us time to create something truly special. If you’re ordering for a specific event or occasion like birthdays, anniversaries, or weddings, placing your order a few days in advance helps avoid any last-minute rush and guarantees availability for your preferred delivery slot.
Tip: Always double-check important dates, especially around holidays like Valentine’s Day or Mother’s Day when flower delivery services can be in high demand.
2. Know the delivery location
Before placing your order, make sure you have the correct delivery details, including the full address and any special instructions (apartment numbers, access codes, etc.). This helps avoid any delivery hiccups and ensures your flowers are delivered without delay.
For Brisbane deliveries, it’s also helpful to know if the recipient will be home during our standard delivery times from 10 AM to 5 PM. If they’re not home, we can leave the flowers at the door with a photo as proof, but it’s always best to ensure someone is available to receive the bouquet.
3. Choose the right arrangement for the occasion
Different flowers and arrangements suit different occasions, so it’s important to select the right bouquet. Whether you’re sending a romantic gesture, offering sympathy flowers, or sending a “just because” bouquet, our team at Flowers Brisbane is here to help you choose the perfect arrangement. You can browse our wide selection or call for personalized recommendations based on your needs and preferences.
Tip: If you’re unsure which flowers are best for an occasion, consider classic choices like roses for romance, lilies for sympathy, and bright sunflowers or gerberas for cheerful, “just because” moments.
4. Add a personalized message
A thoughtful message can turn a simple flower delivery into something truly meaningful. Whether it’s a heartfelt note of love, congratulations, or sympathy, be sure to include a personalized message when placing your order. It adds a personal touch that will make the recipient feel extra special.
At Flowers Brisbane, we offer free cards with every bouquet, so your message can accompany the flowers in style.
5. Track your delivery
For peace of mind, many online flower delivery services, including Flowers Brisbane, offer delivery tracking. This allows you to stay updated on your order’s status, from the moment it leaves our shop to its arrival at the recipient’s doorstep. If you’re ordering flowers as a surprise or for an important event, this feature ensures you can check on the delivery’s progress.
6. Choose local florists for fresher flowers
When you order from a local florist like Flowers Brisbane, you’re supporting local businesses and ensuring that the flowers are fresh and hand-delivered by experts who care about quality. Unlike large-scale delivery services that rely on shipping from faraway locations, local florists can deliver fresher, longer-lasting blooms because the flowers travel shorter distances.
Tip: At Flowers Brisbane, we source fresh, high-quality flowers daily to ensure your bouquet is vibrant and long-lasting.
7. Care for your flowers after delivery
Once the flowers have been delivered, it’s important to care for them properly to keep them looking fresh and beautiful for as long as possible. Here are a few quick tips:
- Trim the stems: Cut the flower stems at an angle to allow for better water absorption.
- Change the water regularly: Fresh water helps keep your flowers hydrated and prevents bacteria from forming in the vase.
- Remove wilting flowers: Take out any dead or wilting flowers from the arrangement to keep the rest looking fresh.
- Keep away from direct sunlight or heat sources: Too much heat can cause flowers to wilt faster, so keep your bouquet in a cool, shaded area.
