Sending Flowers to St Kilda East

Much of St Kilda East is Edwardian and art deco flats, three storeys, no lift, an intercom at the street door. The flat number is the single most useful thing you can put on an order here, because the block numbers on Alma Road and Inkerman Street run long and the buildings look alike from the footpath.

Toward Hotham Street and the Caulfield Park end the housing turns to larger homes on wider blocks, and the schools and community buildings through the middle of the suburb take a regular weekday flow. Those deliveries go to a front office with the recipient named rather than to a street number.

Inside a St Kilda East Flower Order

Early Access, Earned Over Time

Our buyers have been at the Melbourne market since 2007, and that length of standing is what gets them shown the good lines before general trading. A St Kilda East arrangement can carry stems cut the previous evening as a direct result, and a box that falls short is turned down on the floor.

Every Box Comes Apart First

Nothing is designed until the bench has done its work. Boxes are opened at Southbank, every stem is handled, and the ones that will not last are taken out. What remains is stripped, cut and stood in clean water, with a further check as your St Kilda East order is designed and before it leaves.

The Bag Carries the Water

The water vessel in the base of our signature bag means a St Kilda East delivery can sit on a stair landing or at a front office for hours without drying out. Nobody has to unpack it straight away. Change the water each day once it is inside. If anything is wrong, we replace it or refund it.

What St Kilda East Sends Through the Year

St Kilda East orders lean to birthdays, thank you arrangements and new baby flowers, with anniversaries and sympathy work steady across the year. Our florists design to the occasion you describe rather than to a stock photograph, and the stems come from that morning at market, which through the seasons means ranunculus, tulips, roses, lilies, hydrangeas, disbuds and natives.

St Kilda East and the Run It Sits On

St Kilda East Delivery, Your Questions

Do you deliver to St Kilda East the same day?

Yes, when the order is placed before 1pm. Anything after that travels on the next delivery day. St Kilda East is covered Monday to Saturday.

What is delivery to St Kilda East going to cost?

The charge is calculated at checkout from the address you enter, so it is settled before payment.

The building has no lift. Will the flowers still be brought up?

Yes. Our florist takes them to the flat door where the building allows it. If the street door is locked and nobody answers, they are left inside the entrance out of the sun, still in their water.

Can you deliver to a St Kilda East school or community group?

Yes, regularly. Name the recipient and the organisation at checkout and the flowers are handed to the front office.

What sort of stems are used?

It comes down to what the buyers found at dawn. Depending on the season that is tulips, ranunculus, peonies, roses, lilies, dahlias or natives, and there are plants, wine and gifts if you would rather send those.
