Sending Flowers to Windsor

The southern end of Chapel Street is the part of Windsor we know best, from the Astor Theatre corner up to the station, with Duke Street, Peel Street and Union Street running off it. Apartments outnumber houses here, so a buzzer number or a concierge name on the order saves everyone time.

Windsor sits between Prahran and St Kilda on a route we drive every morning, which means an order placed at nine can be at a Windsor door before lunch. The flowers were chosen at the market that same dawn, so they have not been sitting in a cool room waiting for a delivery slot.

Why Windsor Comes to Us

Early Access to the Good Stems

Because our buyers have bought at the Melbourne market since 2007, growers set their better bunches aside for them before the floor opens to everyone else. Being known there is also permission to be difficult, and a bunch that would not still look right in Windsor on Thursday is left on the trolley.

The Second and Third Look

The first check happens as the boxes are opened at the studio, and the flowers that fall short are sent back. What stays is conditioned in clean water, and most of it is designed and on the road within twenty four hours. Your florist looks it over again while the arrangement takes shape, and gives it a last look before it goes to Windsor.

Standing Up the Whole Way

Flowers travel to Windsor in our signature bag, which has a vessel in the base so the stems stand in water for the whole trip. It can be left as it is on a doorstep, at a bar or with a concierge, and nobody has to find a vase. Change the water daily. If anything is wrong, we replace it or refund it.

Windsor Sends These

Windsor sends a lot of birthday flowers and a lot of apologies, along with anniversaries, new baby arrangements, opening nights for the bars and restaurants on Chapel Street, and sympathy flowers when they are needed. Our florists design for the occasion rather than to a photograph, using peonies, roses, tulips and whatever else the buyers carried back that morning.

Questions From Windsor

Can flowers reach Windsor today?

Yes, when the order is in before 1pm. Later orders go out on the next delivery day, and we deliver to Windsor Monday to Saturday.

What does it cost to deliver to Windsor?

The fee is shown at checkout once the Windsor address is entered, before you commit to anything.

How do you deliver to an apartment on Chapel Street?

Add the apartment number, the buzzer and a mobile number at checkout. If nobody answers, the flowers wait with the concierge or in a shaded spot, standing in the water the bag carries, and we message you to say where.

Can you deliver to a bar or restaurant in Windsor?

Yes. Put the venue name and the manager's number on the order and our florist will leave the flowers at the bar or with a staff member before service.

What flowers do you send to Windsor?

The strongest stems on the floor that morning. Over a year that covers roses, peonies, tulips, dahlias, lilies and natives, with plants, wine and gifts to add if you want them.
