Words by Staff Writer

Let the florists come to you with the best flower delivery services across Geelong.

Geelong’s blessed with a serious number of great florists when you’re looking at picking a last-minute bunch up to brighten up someone’s day (or your own!).

Whether you’ve forgotten about an imminent birthday or anniversary, or you just want to make someone smile, these are some of our favourite same-day flower delivery services for the best blooms and greenery in town.

Flower Bowl

Whether it’s a hug of hydrangeas or a pash of pastels, Flower Bowl is our go-to when it comes to flowers showing someone we adore them!

Blooming since 2005, Flower Bowl has been setting the standard in floral creations that are super fresh, delightfully pretty and made with a whole lotta love. Just scroll through their Instagram and you’ll fall in love with their bright and playful arrangements.

Now operating out of two locations and far more than your average flower shop, the Flower Bowl team select the freshest seasonal and luxe flowers direct from local grower for deliveries Monday to Friday, with same day delivery available throughout Geelong, Surfcoast and Bellarine Peninsula if your order is placed by midday!

While the flowers are so damn cute we could cry, they also offer a range of tantalising treats including premium wine, chocolates, pamper products, homewares and baby toys. Their gift game? Strong.

Plus, they also have a large range of indoor plants, planters and signature Flower Bowl terrariums in-store and online, if your beau prefers something green.

Flowerkind

Inspired by the ability to boost happiness, fresh flowers from Geelong’s newest online florist, Flowerkind, provide an instant hit and are sure to be a winner any day of the year.

Based in Armstrong Creek, Flowerkind founder Amie Maclean has been moved by florals her entire life. It wasn’t until four years ago that she explored floristry as a creative outlet, which quickly saw her fall in love with the craft.

Delivering fresh blooms across Geelong, Flowerkind offers a selection of unique floral arrangements, indoor plants and seasonal cut flowers. Her style is bright and bursting with life, with eye-catching colour at the forefront. Each arrangement is made up of locally grown fresh cut flowers – direct from Geelong Flower Farm – and wrapped in a beautiful white textured paper, or a glass vase if you desire.

You can browse by specific florals like roses, tulips, oriental lilies, sunflowers or Chrysanthemum disbuds; a unique range of posy style flower arrangements; or let Amie work her magic with gorgeous custom arrangements. Alongside the beautiful blooms and indoor plants (which come wrapped in 100% jute hessian with Flowerkind signature ribbon), you can also purchase luxe add-ons that will truly leave a lasting impression.
