Welcoming a new baby is one of life's sweetest moments, and flowers are a beautiful way to celebrate the new arrival. If you're not sure what to send, here's a simple guide to getting it just right.

Soft, gentle colours work best

New-baby flowers are traditionally soft and sweet: think blush pinks, buttery yellows, gentle whites and calming greens. Blue and white arrangements are a classic choice for a baby boy, while pinks and pastels suit a baby girl — though a fresh, neutral bouquet is perfect for any new family.

Keep the scent gentle

Newborns (and tired new parents) can be sensitive to strong fragrances, so it's kind to lean towards lightly scented blooms. If you do send lilies, we gently remove the pollen so nothing stains delicate blankets or clothing.

A little extra to complete the gift

A soft toy or a few chocolates alongside the flowers makes the gesture feel extra special — our Little Extras like a mini teddy are a lovely finishing touch for new parents.

Timing your delivery

If you're sending to the hospital, it's worth checking the ward allows fresh flowers and how long mum will be staying — delivering to home once the family has settled in is often the safest bet. Either way, order by 12pm and we'll deliver the same day across Melbourne, so your congratulations arrive right on time.
