About Text 3

Our History

Our journey began in a flourishing backyard garden that belonged to Sebastian Mirciov more than four decades ago. A hard-working Romanian immigrant with an eye for detail and a natural green thumb, he loved everything about cultivating vegetables and flowers.

Sebastian was inspired to turn this hobby into a career. He completed a floristry course in 1985 and would become co-owner of a floristry business that same year. In 1997 he decided it was time to venture out on his own and opened Brisbane Market Flowers.

While Sebastian was building his business, he was also building a family to share it with. His daughter Marion inherited his love for flowers, working at Brisbane Market Flowers on the weekends. She joined the family business full-time after finishing school to pursue her own floral passions and she eventually took over the reins in 2012.

Sadly, Sebastian passed away in March 2016 at age 60, leaving behind a legacy that we are proud to continue.

What is the cutoff time for same-day delivery?

Our cutoff time for same-day delivery is 12pm (midday) from Tuesday - Friday. Saturday deliveries we require more notice though so please have your orders in by the previous day. For more info, check out our terms & conditions page.

Where in Brisbane do you deliver?

We offer local flower delivery to most of the Brisbane region. Delivery costs do vary from suburb to suburb. To see if your suburb is covered and how much it will be, please use our shipping calculator in the checkout.

What if you don't deliver to my area?

We do our best to deliver to as many suburbs in Brisbane as we can, but some might be just a bit too far to be cost-effective for our customers. To check whether we deliver to your suburb, use the shipping calculator in our checkout.

How much are your delivery fees?

Delivery fees vary from suburb to suburb. Please use the shipping calculator in our checkout to get an accurate, up-to-date quote.

Can I organise delivery for a specific time?

We do our best to work with our customers to ensure the smoothest possible delivery process. If you have a specific delivery time or request you'd like us to work with, give us a call on 07 3278 0266 and we'll do our best to accommodate you.

What if no one is home to accept delivery?

Don't worry! If nobody is home, we'll try to find a safe, cool area out of direct sunlight to leave your flowers. While it's always best to ensure someone is home we understand that sometimes this doesn't always go to plan!

Your flowers will have water in them to temporarily prevent them from drying out, but if you know that nobody will be home to accept the order, we recommend adding a vase to your order for a bit more of a buffer.

If we can't find a safe or shady spot to leave your flowers, we'll contact the recipient to arrange a better time. This may incur an additional fee.

Does Brisbane Market Flowers do weddings or events?

You bet! Check out our weddings page for more info, and get in touch with us for any event you might have in mind.

Are you open Sunday or Monday?

Sadly not! We are open from Tuesday - Saturday though.

What if some (or all) of what I ordered isn't available?

We do our very best to ensure that we can provide exactly what you've ordered. Due to the seasonal nature of flowers and recent supply chain interruptions out of our control, this can sometimes result in us needing to substitute some of the flowers in your order.

Rest assured we will substitute flowers with equal or greater value. We appreciate your patience and understanding.

Should I buy the man in my life flowers?

YES. Normalise giving men flowers!

Here’s a few tips to keep your fresh cut flowers looking great for longer!

Trim Your Stems

With sharp scissors, trim the ends of the stems at an angle. This provides the flower a larger surface area to absorb water to keep it happy and healthy.

Move Them To A Vase

Put your flowers in a vase ¾ filled with fresh, clean, room-temperature water.
Pro Tip: A cap of bleach added to the water will kill any bacteria that might cause your flowers to prematurely expire.

Stay Hydrated

Ensure the water in their vase doesn’t dry up! On hot days you might be surprised at how thirsty your flowers can be, and how quickly the water in their vase can evaporate.

Only Stems In The Water

Keep loose foliage and debris from below the water line. Not only does it look untidy, decaying foliage in the water can breed nasty bacteria.

Change The Water & Re-Trim

Every few days, change the water and re-trim your stems. Re-trimming helps your flowers maintain their ability to drink water, and just like us humans, we prefer fresh, clean water to drink!

Sunlight Not Required

It might sound strange, but cut flowers don’t need sunlight to live. Sometimes this can actually dry them out quicker, so it’s best to keep them out of direct sunlight and in a cool area.

Climate Control

You can place flowers anywhere in your house, but it’s best to keep them away from air conditioners blowing directly onto them, or in the presence of heaters.

Keep Away From Fruit & Veggies

While it may be enticing to stage your own modern interpretation of a Van Gough, it’s best to keep fruit and vegetables away from your flowers. The (harmless) gas they emit actually shortens the life of your flowers, so it’s probably best to stick to chocolate – don’t mind if we do!

Thanks for contacting us. We'll get back to you as soon as possible.
