Birthday flowers for every person in your life
The right birthday bouquet depends on who is opening the door. Match the flowers to the person, and the card writes itself.
Soft and Sentimental
Blush pinks, creams and garden textures read as warmth rather than romance. A classic she will photograph before she trims the stems.
Romantic and Generous
Reds, deep pinks and full-headed roses carry the romance a birthday deserves. Go one size larger than you think — this is the bouquet that gets remembered.
Bright and Fun
Mixed brights, gerberas and seasonal colour say celebration, not ceremony. The safest choice when you know the person but not their taste in flowers.
Desk-Ready Boxed Flowers
A boxed arrangement needs no vase and no water on arrival, which makes it the practical pick for workplace birthdays. It sits straight on the desk and stays put.
Birth Flowers
The birth flower for every month
Every month has a traditional birth flower with its own meaning. Sending it turns a nice bouquet into a personal one — here is the full year, each paired with a design from our range.
| Month | Birth flower | What it says | Our florist's pick |
|---|---|---|---|
| January | Carnation | Devotion and loyalty — underrated, long-lasting and quietly elegant | Classical Pink Carnations |
| February | Violet | Faithfulness and modesty — best captured in purple tones | Purple Dreams |
| March | Daffodil | New beginnings and good fortune for the year ahead | Golden Rose Dance |
| April | Daisy | Innocence and cheerfulness — fresh, light and informal | Soft Glow |
| May | Lily of the valley | Sweetness and a return of happiness | Blushing Lily Carnations |
| June | Rose | Love in every shade — the easiest birth flower to send well | Ecuador rose range |
| July | Delphinium | Positivity and an open heart — tall, blue and striking | Blue Mist |
| August | Gladiolus | Strength of character and sincerity | Bold seasonal picks |
| September | Aster | Wisdom and valour in soft purple-blue stars | Amethyst Whisper |
| October | Marigold | Warmth, creativity and late-spring sunshine | Orange and White Sunshine |
| November | Chrysanthemum | Loyalty, honesty and long friendship | Seasonal mixed bouquets |
| December | Narcissus | Hope and good wishes to close the year | Whispering Greens |
Melbourne seasons do not always match the traditional list, so our florists match each month's colour and meaning with the freshest stems in the market that week. Tell us the birth month at checkout and we will take it from there.
Make the big ones feel big
Round-number birthdays carry more weight, and the flowers should too. A quick guide to pitching it right.
Eighteenth
Bright, bold and photogenic — this bouquet will be on three social accounts within the hour. Mixed brights and gerberas over formal roses.
Twenty-First
The statement birthday. Long-stem Ecuador roses or an oversized wrap make the kind of entrance a 21st deserves.
Thirtieth
Modern and a little refined — pastel palettes, textured wraps and sculptural stems. Confident without shouting.
Fortieth
Elegant classics: roses, lilies and orchids in a considered palette. A boxed arrangement reads beautifully at a dinner or party.
Fiftieth
Warm golden and champagne tones suit the golden milestone. Golden Rose Dance is named for exactly this moment.
Sixty and Beyond
Soft, fragrant classics — and consider a preserved arrangement that keeps for years as a lasting keepsake of the day.
The Card
What to write on a birthday card
Every order includes a handwritten card, and the message matters as much as the flowers. Keep it to two lines: one for the wish, one that is specific to them.
For Mum
- Happy birthday, Mum — the flowers are doing their best, but you are still the brightest thing in the room.
- Another year of you being the person we all call first. Happy birthday.
- For all the birthdays you made special for us — this one is yours.
For a Partner
- Happy birthday to my favourite person. Tonight is all yours.
- One more year of you — the best thing that keeps happening to me.
- Happy birthday. I would pick you again in every lifetime.
For a Friend
- Happy birthday! Flowers now, celebration when I see you.
- Another year wiser? Debatable. Another year loved? Absolutely.
- Happy birthday to the friend who makes every year better.
For a Colleague
- Happy birthday! Hope the day is as great as you make this team.
- Wishing you a wonderful birthday and a well-earned celebration tonight.
- Happy birthday from all of us — enjoy every minute of it.
