The Little Flower Shoppe is closed today (Monday 15th May) all the flower gals need a day to rest.
We will be back, blooming and freshly stocked with florals on Tuesday.
Thank you so much to everyone who contributed to an amazing Mothers Day and the week prior.
Our day was beautiful but if yesterday was hard for you for whatever reason, we see you, and we hope today is a better day. π€πΈπ«Ά
Happy International Women's Day!
How lucky we are in our little space to have curated such an inclusive and diverse workplace for women to create, connect and glow each other the f@$k up.
So many female florists and makers come and go from our shop every week and leave behind shared knowledge, creative energy and laughter. Sometimes a bangin playlist too.
Grateful today and every day to be surrounded by women who care about each other, learn from and help one another and always want to see the babes beside them win.
Big love to all the queens in our world. β€οΈπ₯πΈπ
Thank you so much to everyone who contributed to making our biggest Valentines yet such a great success! We hope you all had a fabulous day, we had the best time! π€ΈπΌβοΈπ₯

We're gross. We know. ♥οΈπΈπ₯
Hey flower mates!
Even though the weather feels like someone is playing Jumanji and losing.. we're in good spirits! With a shop full of beautiful blooms and gifting, lots of laughs and a fancy bottle of Champagne sitting pretty in the cool room with our names on it.
We will be open until sold out up to and on Christmas Day and closed from 26th-16th inclusive. Returning Tuesday 17th of January.
Also, as some of you know the shop is now on the market.. π₯Ή
Yep, the Bloom Babes are spreading their petals after a challenging few years in retail and moving to the studio lyf.. It's a bitter-sweet time and we'd love to see you all before we move on to our new floral venture.
Come visit us in the New Year! We hope you all have a great Christmas and if you don't celebrate it we hope you have a great weekend. Stay safe and be kind to eachother. πΎπ€πΈ
The Little Flower Shoppe will be closed from Saturday 29.10.22 to Tuesday 01.11.22 inclusive.
We will have plenty of blooms available @mountevelynsupermarket over the long weekend.
Our thoughts are with all of our community and surrounds who were affected by yesterday's storm.
Some flower love from a brighter day πΈ
Stay safe. Xx
Sorry we've been absent online flowerpals! The scruffy boss got the old 'Long Covid'.
The Bloom Babes are back, loving the Spring blooms and looking forward to the sunshine.
We are fast booking up for events for the remainder of the year (extremely limited Nov and Dec availability) so get in quick if you want florals for your special days.
Spring is here! So excited we've wet our plants! Xπ€πΈ
A little thank you to all of you for patience and understanding this past week or so. Boss is out with a nasty bout of Covid and the flu and will be for a bit longer. Little babe is overseas and will be for a bit longer. Bloom Queen Belinda has been holding the flower fort and absolutely smashing it and will be for a bit longer.
Sorry we've been quiet. Weird times once again. πΈπ€
Please enjoy a snippet of us celebrating Little Blooms 21st from a couple of weeks ago.
Looking forward to the Bloom babes being at their best again soon. π₯
The Little Flower Shoppe will be closed tomorrow, Monday 9th of May while we all enter a flower coma until Tuesday morning at 10am, business as usual.
We'll be doing lots of thank you's over the next few days but this one is very important.
I need to thank my team this week. Belinda, Sammie, Adrienne, Janice and Adi, what we have achieved this past week is absolutely mind blowing to me.
Bel and Sammie, we were a team that started at the beginning of the Covid Great Pause nightmare and a team that stuck it out, worked unpaid hours, laughed, cried and supported each other and JUST kept our heads above the water and survived it.
This was our biggest week as a relatively new and small team in a little space and we smashed it. I've never felt so much pride in the women around me. We did it! I love you a million my Bloom Babes. -Stupid, short, chaos, idiot boss. Xx
// SOLD OUT //
A million thank you's to come but for a minute we just need to take a breath.
We are still open for those who have scheduled Pre Order pick up.
We will be doing one final drop (a small one) to @mountevelynsupermarket this afternoon for you. π€πΈ
Happy Mother's Day π₯
#Mothersday2022
All advertised palettes/sizes are sold (π€―π₯³) we are also at capacity for scheduled delivery and pick up on Mother's Day. π₯΄π§πΌβοΈ
We will have limited florist choice arrangements and straight bunches of flowers available in store for you tomorrow. We've also just dropped a literal truck load of blooms @mountevelynsupermarket for you all.
Thank you SO much for your overwhelming support this week so far.
Here's to tomorrow π₯π€πΈ
#MothersDay2022
Please be kind to your flower mates this week. From the growers, to the wholesalers, to the retailers. We're all facing supply delays, cost inflation, staffing and weather challenges and running on pure caffeine. (Thank you @posie_project @proximalcoffee) We're still smiling and doing our absolute best to bloom for your mamas! π€πΈ
It's nearly go time! Mothers Day is this coming Sunday 8th of May. We are filling up for pre order and have a BIG week ahead of us. We'll be blooming beautiful local businesses @maryeatscake
@mountevelynsupermarket and @posie_project π₯°
Pre order is highly encouraged due to ongoing supply issues and limited availability. We will sell out, so please order in advance to avoid dissapointment. Looking forward to spoiling all yo' Mamas this week! (And always) π€πΈ Support your local florist this Mother's Day. Xx
// MOTHERS DAY//
Yep! It's that time of the year again. Mothers Day is incoming on Sunday May 8th and we are here for it!
We will have a range of bespoke Florist Choice/Seasonal blooms available in Moody, Peach, Neutral and Blush palettes.
Baby Mama- $55.00
Lil Mama- $75.00
Big Mama- $95.00
Whoa Mama- $120.00+
With a lot of uncertainty around supply and cost inflation this year, pre order is highly encouraged. βοΈ
We will also have a range of beautiful blooms available for you (as usual) @mountevelynsupermarket
Spoil yo Mama and support local this year! π€πΈ
Please try to be kind to those in Floriculture at the moment. We are currently experiencing mark ups of around 30% in our industry and are doing our best to be accommodating with your budgets. It's a tough time with supply and cost in so many industries and we assure you our margins have not changed. We are finding cost very confronting ourselves and ask gently that we can try and navigate through this time together. π€πΈ We're doing our best βοΈ
Easily the most beautiful bloom in the shop today, little Olivia Rose. She made this bouquet herself! Following in Aunty Chlo's footsteps we hope.. π₯²
Now that we have your attention. Please be patient with us over the next few days as we navigate Covid related staff shortages. As per second image we will be in and out doing deliveries and highly recommend pre order via phone (it's diverted) 03 9728 2835.
We will be closed for the long weekend Saturday 12th to Monday 14th inclusive.
We'll ALL be back on Tuesday with a shop full of fresh blooms and a bit of immunity under our tool belts.
Thanks in advance for your understanding π€πΈ
Well! We were the chosen ones for a while but Lady Rona has finally caught up with us. The Little Flower Shoppe has been touched by Covid and will be closed today while the little boss lady finds a couple of bloom babes to fill in for the rest of the week. We are so sorry for any inconvenience. π€πΈπ€πΈπ€
A massive congratulations to Chris & Narelle on their special day this past Saturday. Thank you for a wonderful time, lots of laughs and including us in the celebration of your love. We had so much fun we forgot to capture most of it! Thank you to @barnandco1 for being so easy to work with and so accommodating. Hardly feels like work when you're having that much fun! ππΌπΎπ₯
Happy Lovers Day!
Red roses have Sold Out! πΉπ
πΌβοΈ
We have limited bouquets and gifting from our Valentines range available in store for pick up.
Please call us on 03 9728 2835 to secure a bouq before all these babes fly out the door and we kick back in the compost heap and have a bev.
We love you all and hope you're having a wonderful day! πΈπ€π₯
(For all the late lovers we will be making another bloom drop to @mountevelynsupermarket this afternoon)

All blooms are available in Florist Choice moody/romantic Palette, blush/soft Palette or a mixture of both.
Please note all blooms are seasonal/limited availability and subject to change.

Hello! Hope everyone is keeping cool (and somewhat calm and collected π΅π«)
The Little Flower Shoppe will be closed for the public holiday this coming Wednesday 26th of Jan.
We'll be back on Thursday the 27th and dropping our Valentines Day floral range for you all with our gifting options coming shortly after. Yep we can't believe it either..
Pre order is highly encouraged this year due to covid related flower shortages, particularly roses.
Thank you for all your support lately (and always) πΈπ€
Pictured: S&B's dreamy gazebo @poetslane just coz π
Hello! We're back in store as of today!
We are cautiously optimistic that we will stay open and stick to our advertised hours but please be aware this is subject to change due to having perishable stock, covid running rampant (potentially causing us to close) and the lack of foot traffic at the moment.
Please consider, little shop, little business, little gal's just doing our best. Pre order is highly reccomended due to worldwide flower shortages and us running a tight ship stock wise.
Please, if you are unwell or symptomatic let us know and we will serve you outside and please maintain social distancing. We have lots of upcoming events that we need to be well and healthy for π
We're so happy to be back albeit in a once again weird time!
Big bloom love from Chloe, Bel and Sammie π€πΈ
As expressed in an earlier email to our upcoming Couples nuptials and Events we just wanted to re iterate the following during this once again weird and unprecedented time.
We feel it's important to communicate the same information to all of you.
We need to address the current Covid outbreak in Victoria as much as it pains us to do so (AGAIN)
Our team have all taken several negative RAT tests over the last week and been isolating away from our loved ones to ensure we are healthy and fit to create florals for your special day. We will continue do this for the foreseeable future. We wanted to reassure all of you of this.
In regards to your special events, communication with us is key at the moment. Please check your emails for updates.
We are thinking of you all during this difficult and stressful time.
Please don't hesitate to contact us with any queries or concerns.
We're doing everything we can to make sure your special days are just that. And that we can continue on as close to business as usual as possible.
Take care, be gentle with yourselves x
Hello bloom babes.
We are at capacity for bespoke pre order this week and are so grateful for your overwhelming support of our little shoppe.
We will have florist choice arrangements available in store right up until sold out on Xmas day.
If you are waiting on quotes or emails a little bit of grace this week would be so appreciated. We are a small team with a BIG workload and we will get back to you as soon as possible.
Be kind, patient and gentle with yourselves and others. This year's been really tough and everyone's a bit worn out.
Give yourself time to rest, remember that those in hospitality and retail are humans with feelings too, many businesses are currently understaffed and prioritise some self care at a crazy time.
We look forward to blooming for you all this week and then having a much needed rest.
Thank you again- The Little team at The Little Flower Shoppe π€πΈ
Sorry we haven't been posting much lately! We've been too busy blooming away for you all and planning for all your special upcoming events.
Rest assured we're still here and still flowering (all the time)!
We strongly encourage pre order for the upcoming week of Xmas as we are already quite close to capacity.
We will have a range of florist choice arrangements available right up until Xmas.
Xmas trade is as follows.
Mon 20th Dec to Fri 24th Dec- 10:00-6:00pm
Saturday 25th Dec- 10:00- until sold out.
Our shopfront will be closed from the 26th of December until the 16th of January inclusive, only operating for weddings and corporates.
We will reopen Monday 17th of Jan at 10am.
Stay safe!
Be kind and gentle with yourselves, others (and retail and hospitality workers)

We just wanted to take a moment to appreciate this past week..
We might have had long days but we also had sunshine, smiles, wedding planning, the privilege of creating blooms to celebrate the long, creative and beautiful life of a treasured customer and fellow florist. Not to mention beautiful blooms from @floramax_flowers and happy, funny and friendly customers.
Gratitude. It's important.
π€πΈ
Enjoy your weekends π
I can't believe I'm writing this but.. we are now taking Xmas pre orders π³
Due to supply and demand with lots of weddings and events occurring we are gently encouraging pre order to avoid disappointment.
We will have florist choice arrangements available with limited availability for custom and bespoke orders.
Tis the season? Yep it is. It's the season. π
Last week (albeit short) was wonderful.
It's SO nice to have our little Shoppe open again and to be seeing the top part of so many familiar faces after so long.
See our story for some of our floral highlights from the week.
We'll be SEEING you π€πΈ
We're back to usual trade Mon-Fri 10-6 and Saturday 10-2.
We're backkkk!!!
Actually we were back yesterday but we were so worn out in the best kind of way that the bloom boss maybe, definitely fell asleep flat faced and smiling as soon as she got home!
Thanks so much to everyone that braved the rain yesterday to support us and who has been in since.
We are SO happy to be back.
We missed this and we missed you!

Unfortunately due to extreme weather/damage in the Mount Dandenongs and surrounds we will be unable to make deliveries in this area today. This is based off advice from our local SES to stay off the roads as it is unsafe. We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience and hope everyone is okay. Please stay safe and if you must drive be careful. πΈπ€
It's happening! We can FINALLY open our doors! The Little Flower Shoppe will be open to the public from this Wednesday the 3rd of November! We will still be available for orders all week but closed Sunday 31st, Monday 1st and Tuesday 2nd, so that we can have a little rest over the long weekend before the big day! The shop will be looking brand spanking new, and we've got some special treats and surprises to celebrate such a long awaited and exciting time for us πΎ
Now, we do need to address the matter of vaccination status. Our staff are all fully vaccinated and happy to provide our own certificates on request, as we will be requesting yours. Under public health guidelines we MUST have all customers check in and show a valid double dose vaccination before entering the shop and under current guidelines, will still have density limitations until November 24th.
We respect everyone's right to choice and will serve all our customers regardless of vaccination status however we hope that you can respect that after all the hardships we have faced we must adhere to the public health guidelines and will only be able to serve single dose or unvaccinated customers outdoors unless a medical exemption applies. We are inclusive, respectful and accepting of ALL of our customers and will not refuse service, just adjust to a new way of providing it.
This is new for us too so please be kind and understanding, just as we will be to you.
We are so excited to have you back. To share our new vendors and gifting range with you and get back to some semblance of normality.
It's been a long hard road and we're so grateful we made it through.
We couldn't have done it without all of you. Straight facts.
No rain. No flowers.
THANK YOU π€πΈπΎ
Hey little freedom flowers! Hope you enjoyed the sunshine today! We did π₯°
We just wanted to gently remind everyone that even though Florists carry perishable stock we are still considered retail which means we are still operating on a contactless delivery and click and collect basis until advised otherwise (hopefully very soon π€) which means no walk ins or customers in store.
We appreciate your patience and highly recommend pre order at the moment. We completely sold out today! Down to the stem!
Thank you for your amazing support, we hope you're all feeling some semblance of reprieve today.
We're exhausted and going to bed.. BUT if we didn't want to.. we don't have to.. and that is the best feeling ever.
πΈπ€
Hey flower pals!
So happy to see some light at the end of the tunnel for us all.
Under current guidelines we will be operating in the same capacity of contactless delivery/click and collect making beautiful blooms for you all. Until advised otherwise.
We have also touched base (π€) with all our couples who are planning, enquiring and finally able to soon get married!
If you have not received any contact from us this is an oversight (we had a LOT to get through) and please contact us again so we can touch base with you. Patience would be much appreciated.
We are fully booked for some months in 2022 and will endeavour to let you know what our availability looks like as soon as possible.
As always we are so grateful for your support, your kindness, your generosity and your understanding these past 20 months.
Fingers crossed we can open our doors with our refreshed space as soon as possible. π€πΈ
