The 15 best flower delivery services in Melbourne

Friends Hannah and Verity conceived online flower delivery company Lvly out of a shared passion for beautiful design and supporting local producers. The florist offers same-day delivery all over Melbourne for orders placed online by 5pm Monday to Friday, and they hope to soon offer Saturday delivery. Lvly also offers next-day delivery for addresses nationwide (Lvly will do same-day delivery for Sydney and Brisbane, too). In addition to flowers, the site offers gifts like tea and biscuits, body products, baby hampers, Espresso Martinis, succulents, food hampers and even a voucher for a manicure and pedicure at a place of the recipient's choosing. 

When it comes to buying flowers for your loved ones, online flower delivery store Bloomeroo is an easy choice. It’s convenient, too – for same-day delivery, all you’ll need to do is place an order by 5pm. From thoughtfully arranged bouquets featuring fresh seasonal blooms to a curated Florist’s Choice (from $110), this will make a heartfelt gift for anyone. You can also make a memorable splash with special add-ons like a heart balloon ($14.90) or even a teddy bear ($19.90). It also offers its services to other Australian cities, including Adelaide, Sydney, Perth, and Brisbane.

Flox Botanical does things a little differently from your average flower delivery service. For one, this Melbourne-based business is committed to zero waste, so it has committed to next day delivery so your flowers are always fresh. Secondly, it's taken the idea of at-home DIY projects to the next level by letting customers put their florist caps (flower crowns?) on and put together their own bunches. Flox Botanical will ship you a flat-packed collection of seasonally fresh flowers sourced from local Melbourne flower growers and hand-deliver them to your doorstep (or the doorstep of someone who deserves a treat!).

It's right there in the title: Easy Flowers makes sending a quick bunch of blooms a breeze. The website even boasts that you can order flowers from the moon and it will still find a way to get your bouquet in the recipient's hands ASAP. You'll find a very diverse catalogue of flower types and out-of-the-box arrangements like flowers based on your star sign and more from a network of local florists. Stuck for ideas? You can find classic roses by the bucket load, as well as gift bundles and chocolate.

The Petals Florist Network aggregates 1,600 local florists from around Australia to ensure your blooms are delivered fast and fresh. The arrangements are mostly bold and bright with eye-catching colours at the forefront. Or you can let the floral designers work their magic with gorgeous custom arrangements. Petals also stock a range of potted plants you can send to brighten someone's living space in a more permanent way.

If you want your flowers delivered on a weekend, it might be time to turn to the big boys. Interflora, which is a global delivery service that works with florists all over the world (including 750 across Australia), will deliver your blooms seven days a week if you order online by 2pm, perfect for last-minute gifting. The floral behemoth delivers worldwide as well as across Aus, so if you forgot a New York mate's birthday or your bae is travelling in Paris, Interflora has you covered there too.

Art Stems has been providing flowers to the people of the northern suburbs since 1988. The team prides itself on quality arrangements with a variety of flowers that includes tropicals and wildflowers. In an attempt to be eco-friendly, it has done away with traditional boxes and presented bouquets in tins, ceramic vases, and jugs that encourage customers to reuse. As for the Valentine's Day collection, you can choose between classic roses or vibrant native finds. Art Stems offers same-day delivery if you order before noon, Monday to Friday. On weekends and public holidays, your best bet is to call the shop to ask for same-day delivery.

Kew florist Fig & Bloom delivers to more than 150 suburbs in Melbourne, and if you order before noon your flowers will arrive sometime before 6pm. Owner Kellie Brown studied floral design in New York, and with a background in fashion design, her arrangements are contemporary and eye-catching. In addition to beautifully arranged flowers, the company will also deliver chocolate from handmade Melbourne chocolatiers. As for the best collection? You can expect lush blooms made up of soft pink and white hues, including roses, chrysanthemum disbuds and gypsophilia.

Bud Flowers has changed hands a few times over the years (it's been going since 1986), but the store's premier fresh flower arrangements and giftware have remained as good as ever.  Owned by the talented Meridee Fraser, the blooms at Bud Flowers are thoughtfully arranged to maximise colour and proportion. The florists offer same-day delivery within a 50km radius if you order by 4pm (order earlier if your delivery is going to a business address, as most won't take deliveries after 5pm). The company will also send potted plants (think fiddle-leaf figs, orchids and cactuses) and dried bouquets for something longer-lasting. 

Flower Temple claims to be ‘more than just a florist’. In addition to super-fancy bouquets, this luxury flower store also offers gift packages and a gift-wrapping service. Order online before 1.30pm and your flowers will be delivered the same day, Monday through Friday. Saturday deliveries must be ordered before 2pm on the Friday before, and Flower Temple only delivers on Sundays two days (sometimes one) of the year: Valentine's Day and Mother's Day. 

Owned by Cherrie Miriklis, this icon of Brunswick Street has been servicing the Melbourne metropolitan area since 1989. Flowers Vasette offers same-day delivery within 50km Monday-Saturday if you order online by noon. The florist also does limited delivery on Sundays, but it's best to call to find out if your bunch can be delivered. Flowers Vasette also offers much more than just flowers; you can also get Champagne, food hampers, baby hampers, stuffed toys and chocolate delivered anywhere in Melbourne. Perfect for last-minute ideas.

For a wide range of options, including lilies, orchids and sunflowers in a glass bowl, Flowers Across Melbourne might be worth checking out for Mother's Day. One of our favourite bouquets is the 'Rambling Roses', a classic combo of (you guessed it) pink roses, baby's breath and native gum foliage for an extra pop of colour. If you order by 2pm Monday-Friday or 10am Saturday, Flowers Across Melbourne will deliver your bunch the same day. The team also deliver on Sundays for very special occasions (think Mother's Day and Valentine's Day).

If you want to choose what bouquet you're sending, this one might not be for you. But if you want to leave it up to the talented florists at the Posy Story, it could be just the thing. Every day the florist creates an arrangement and posts it online, and if you order before noon (or before the posies sell out) a beautiful flower arrangement will be delivered throughout Melbourne on the same day. If you love it, you can subscribe and get flowers delivered weekly, fortnightly or monthly.
