We make it easy to find the best flowers for a new baby. Each arrangement is designed to make welcoming a newborn even more special, and every order is backed by our freshness guarantee. Explore our collection to discover the best flowers for a new baby that feel truly personal.

Choosing Colours That Celebrate a New Baby

While pink and blue have traditionally been the go-to colours for flowers for a new baby girl or flowers for a new baby boy, today's arrangements often focus on celebrating the whole family. After all, the purpose of sending flowers for a new baby is to share happiness, and colour plays a big role in expressing that joy.

Flowers for new baby boy: For cool, calming tones, our Sapphire Lilies bouquet combines Ocean Lilies with Ruscus, offering a fresh, modern alternative to traditional baby-blue bouquets. It’s ideal if you’re sending flowers for a new baby boy, or if the parents simply love crisp, ocean-inspired colour.

Flowers for new baby girl: For soft, sweet pinks, our Pink Whisper bouquet arranges Pink Tanga, Chrysanthemums, Germini, Belle Roses and Carnations together, all finished with a butterfly pick. It’s a beautiful way to bring a gentle, celebratory feel, while still keeping the look elegant for the whole family.

For neutral congratulations: Our Season’s Joy bouquet is a cheerful option with sunny yellows and warm orange tones, perfect for newborn baby flowers, symbolising happiness, optimism, and the start of something wonderful. Complete these flowers with a teddy bear bundle for the ultimate gift.

Hospital vs. Home: Where Should You Send Your Flowers?

Now comes the next decision: should you send them to the hospital or wait until the family is home? While organising a new baby flower delivery might seem simple, the delivery location can make a bigger difference than expected. Hospitals can present a few challenges for new parents who already have plenty to manage.

Hospital Delivery:

• Pro: Your flowers can arrive during those first exciting moments after the birth.
• Con: Many maternity wards restrict or don't allow flowers due to allergies, infection-control policies, and limited space. To avoid disappointment, we recommend contacting the hospital ward before you place your order to confirm they will accept a flower delivery.

Home Delivery:

• Pro: Sending flowers to a new mum at home is often far more practical. The flowers arrive once the family is settled, adding joy to their space without creating extra work.
• Con: You may need to confirm the family is home to receive a new baby flowers delivery.

For these reasons, home delivery is usually the most thoughtful option when sending flowers for a new baby. If you do choose hospital delivery with 123 Flowers, a quick call to the ward beforehand can help ensure everything goes smoothly.

New Baby Flowers and Gifts They'll Love

For an extra special touch, pairing new baby flowers with a thoughtful keepsake can make all the difference, and your gift turns into a complete celebration for the whole family.

Popular choices include new baby flowers and teddy bears for a sweet keepsake the little one can grow up with, or a box of chocolates for the parents to enjoy during those busy first days. For something that feels calming and cosy, a scented candle makes a lovely add-on to help them unwind once they're home.

If you're sending flowers to a hospital, a vase can be a particularly thoughtful extra, making it easy for the bouquet to be displayed straight away without the parents needing to find one. Our curated new baby flowers and gift options make it simple to choose a combination they'll truly appreciate.

New Baby Flower Delivery

At 123 Flowers, we know how important timing is when welcoming a new arrival. That's why we offer flexible new baby flower delivery options, including next-day delivery, available 7 days a week. If you need flowers for a new baby delivered as early as tomorrow, simply place your order by 10 pm Monday to Friday, 4 pm on Saturday, or 2 pm on Sunday.

We also offer free delivery, which typically arrives 1-2 working days from your chosen delivery date, perfect if you’re planning ahead while still sending a thoughtful surprise.

If you're sending new baby flowers to a hospital, please be aware that couriers are unable to deliver directly to the recipient. In most cases, flowers for a newborn baby will be delivered to the hospital reception or mail room, where they'll be passed on by hospital staff.
