Ripponlea flower delivery by Kate Hill Flowers

Ripponlea Florist

Ripponlea is a small triangle of streets around Glen Eira Road and Hotham Street, and its flowers are designed in our Southbank studio six days a week. Order before 1pm and they leave Southbank the same day for the flats near the station, the houses off Glen Eira Road or a party over the road at Rippon Lea Estate.

Flats, Shops and a Mansion Over the Road

Flats and units make up more than half the homes in Ripponlea, so the unit number, the name on the intercom and a mobile are worth adding to every order. If a block has a locked gate, a side entry or a shared front door, mention it in the delivery notes. For houses, a correct number is usually enough.

Glen Eira Road is the centre of things, with a village of shops and restaurants in Edwardian shopfronts just east of Ripponlea station on the Sandringham line. Rippon Lea Estate, the National Trust mansion and gardens that gave the suburb its name, is just over Glen Eira Road in Elsternwick, with its gate on Hotham Street. Brighton Road runs along the west.

The Care Behind a Ripponlea Order

Patience on the Market Floor

Since 2007, the growers at the Melbourne market have watched our buyers choose slowly and send back what is not right. That patience gets us the better lines. Whether the flowers are for a wedding at Rippon Lea Estate or a birthday in a Glen Eira Road flat, the same stems apply.

Unwrapped and Inspected

Every bunch is unwrapped in the Southbank studio and checked before it is used. Stems that are tired or marked are set aside, the rest are trimmed and stood in fresh water, and the florist on your order checks them again while designing, so only healthy flowers head to Ripponlea.

Water in the Foyer

In a block of flats, flowers can sit in a foyer or by the letterboxes until someone comes down. The water vessel in our signature bag's base keeps them drinking there. Refresh the water daily once upstairs, and if anything is not right, let us know within 10 days and we will replace it or refund it.

Weddings, Birthdays and New Neighbours

Rippon Lea Estate's gardens and ballroom host weddings, garden parties and family celebrations, and the flats and houses around it have their own birthdays, new babies and housewarmings. A thank you for the host of a dinner on Glen Eira Road is a nice one too. Tell our florists who the flowers are for, and they will design around it.

Ripponlea Orders, Answered Simply

Is same day flower delivery possible in Ripponlea?

Yes, as long as you order before 1pm on a delivery day. Monday to Saturday are delivery days, Sundays and public holidays are not, and an order placed after 1pm can be booked for the next delivery day.

How much will Ripponlea delivery be?

Delivery is set suburb by suburb. Enter Ripponlea in the delivery suburb box on any product page and the price comes up before you have picked anything.

Can you deliver flowers to a wedding at Rippon Lea Estate?

Yes. Give us the couple's names, the date, which part of the estate is being used if you know, and the name and mobile of a coordinator or guest on the day. Check with the organiser where flowers should go, and order a day or two ahead. The estate's address is in Elsternwick, so enter Elsternwick rather than Ripponlea in the delivery suburb box.

What happens if no one is home in Ripponlea?

A safe, shaded spot inside the gate, or a neighbour who will take them, is where the flowers wait. If neither is there, we contact you first. When we cannot reach you, they head back to our Southbank store and we get back in touch to arrange redelivery or collection.

What time will flowers turn up in Ripponlea?

Ripponlea flowers arrive between 9am and 5pm on the delivery day you chose. We cannot promise a particular time within that window, but if timing matters, for a party or a visit, add it to the checkout notes and we will do our best.
