Why is it that you never know you’re going to need flowers until literally the last possible moment? Or is that just me? Either way, I’m always stuck trying to find something cute and modern that isn’t a million dollars (they’re cut flowers guys, calm down).

Whether it’s a Valentine’s Day bouquet, a birthday gift or just a really nice way to say thank you — I’ve done the research and and can confidently say these are the best 11 florists around Melbourne. There’s a range of budgets too, so we can all have nice things.

Side note, if you happen to be in Sydney, this is the list for you.

This South Melbourne Market shop specialises in Aussie natives, which are the best ones in my opinion. They work closely with growers from the Dandenong Ranges, Cranbourne and Pakenham and like their customers getting involved in creating arrangements.

Price: From $18

Check them out here.

#5 Floraly

These guys are just about everywhere — Sydney, the Central Coast, Newcastle, Wollongong, Melbourne and Brisbane. They only cut the flowers once the order has been placed, so there’s no waste, and work with farms around Australia to keep their carbon footprint small.

Price:  $40 – $60

Check them out here.

#6 Botanics Of Melbourne

These guys do not follow the floral “rules”, and made a name for themselves with creative large-scale floral structures and centrepieces. But they also do bouquets, and they’re delightful.

Price: From $49

Check them out here.

#7 Glasshaus

These flowers range from classic, to funky and experimental. The owner has been working in the industry since he was 13, so there’s a lot of experience going into your bouquet.

Price: From $22

#8 Fowlers Flowers

The shop itself is enough of a reason to visit Fowlers, but their fun bouquets also make the perfect gift. Arrangements change weekly, but just choose your theme and your size and the florists will take it from there.

Price: $60 – $120

Check them out here.

Of course, you could skip the cut flowers altogether and gift a live plant they can keep forever (or for as long as they manage to keep it alive. This plant delivery service specialises in indoor foliage plants. You can get same day delivery across the Melbourne and Geelong delivery zone.
