Delivery in the UK
Sending flowers for new baby
A new baby is one of life's most joyful occasions — and flowers are the most natural way to celebrate. A beautiful bouquet congratulates the new parents, brightens the home during those exhausting early days, and marks the arrival of someone very special. Soft pastels, gentle fragrances, and long-lasting blooms make the best new baby flowers.
New baby flowers can be sent to the hospital or home — confirm the recipient's location before ordering. Hospital deliveries have size restrictions; home delivery gives more flexibility. Most UK florists offer next-day delivery with same-day options available. If you're unsure of timing, a letterbox bouquet means no missed delivery.

Tips for choosing new baby flowers
Soft colours only
Pale pink, blush, white, and soft yellow are the most appropriate colours for new baby flowers. Avoid strong fragrances — newborns and new mothers are sensitive to intense scents.
Check for pets
If the household has cats, avoid lilies — they're highly toxic. Choose roses, carnations, tulips, or freesias instead. All of these are safe and beautiful new baby choices.
Hospital vs home
Many hospitals restrict the size of floral arrangements. If sending to a maternity ward, choose a compact bouquet or a small potted plant. Home delivery gives you much more flexibility.
Long-lasting varieties
New parents are busy. Choose flowers that last — carnations (2–3 weeks), orchids (months), and tulips (1–2 weeks) mean your gift keeps looking beautiful without needing constant attention.
