Flower Delivery Around Balaclava

Carlisle Street is Balaclava, or most of it. The bakeries, delis and food shops run the length of it either side of the station, and business deliveries there are handed over the counter. It is a busy street with limited parking, so our florists time those stops rather than dropping in at random.

Behind the shops are the art deco apartment blocks and Edwardian flats that make up much of the housing, on Inkerman Street, Hotham Street and the streets off them. Most have an intercom or a shared entrance, so the flat number and a buzzer code turn a ten minute delivery into a two minute one.

Balaclava Flowers, From Market to Door

A Familiar Face at Market

Being at the Melbourne market since 2007 has one very practical benefit, which is that growers show their better lines to buyers they know before those lines reach the open floor. A Balaclava arrangement can carry stems cut the evening before because of it, and our buyers can decline a box without ceremony.

The Bench Sorts It Out

Everything is sorted at the Southbank bench. Boxes are opened, stems are worked through one at a time, and anything past its best is pulled before design starts. What stays is stripped, cut and stood in clean water, then checked again by the florist designing your Balaclava order.

Stems That Never Leave Water

There is a water vessel seated in the base of our signature bag, so Balaclava flowers are still drinking when they reach a landing or a shop counter. Nobody has to find a vase in the first ten minutes. Refresh the water daily once they are inside. If anything is not right, we replace it or refund it.

Occasions Balaclava Orders For

Balaclava sends a lot of birthday flowers and a lot of thank you arrangements, with anniversaries, new baby flowers and sympathy work steady through the year. There is a regular run of opening and congratulations flowers for the food businesses on Carlisle Street too. Our florists design to the occasion, working with roses, ranunculus, tulips, lilies, disbuds and the seasonal stems from that morning.

Balaclava Delivery Questions

Can flowers get to Balaclava today?

Yes, on orders placed before 1pm. Anything later goes out on the next delivery day, and Balaclava is covered Monday to Saturday.

What is the delivery charge to Balaclava?

Enter the Balaclava address at checkout and the charge is worked out there, before payment.

How do deliveries to the flats off Carlisle Street work?

Include the flat number and buzzer code. Our florist uses the intercom, and where there is no answer the flowers go to a building manager or a sheltered spot inside the entrance.

Can you deliver to a shop on Carlisle Street?

Yes, often. Give us the business name and a contact number so our florist can time the stop for when someone is available to take them.

What flowers will my Balaclava order contain?

That is decided at the market that dawn, which across the year means ranunculus, tulips, roses, peonies, lilies, dahlias and natives, with plants and gifts available as well.
