About us
Founded in 2001 in Melbourne’s inner northern suburbs, Lillypad Flowers has blossomed into a vibrant floral destination. What began as two charming retail locations in Reservoir has grown into a bustling creative hub and warehouse in Preston - where our passion for flowers flourishes every day. From the moment you step into our retail space, you’ll feel the love and devotion we pour into each stem. Choose from our exquisite premade bouquets, lush arrangements, or wander through our display room of artful preserved floral designs. Every creation is a testament to our unwavering commitment to quality, originality, and heartfelt beauty.
