What flowers should you send for a new baby?

Soft pastel blooms in pink, blue, or a neutral cream and green work well for a new baby, with roses, tulips, hydrangeas, and peonies among the most popular choices. If you’re not sure which way to go, a neutral palette suits any new arrival. Contact our florists for personalised requests or guidance on flower gifting.

Can you deliver new baby flowers to a hospital?

Maternity wards tend not to accept flower deliveries, so we’d recommend sending new baby flowers to the family home instead. If you’d still like them delivered to a hospital, check the ward’s current policy before ordering.

What's the best time to send new baby flowers?

A few days to a week after the birth usually lands best, once the family’s had time to settle back in. There’s no wrong time, though, and we can schedule delivery for whichever date suits.

Are flowers safe to have around a newborn baby?

Fresh flowers are generally fine to have in the house around a newborn. We’d still suggest choosing low-scent blooms and keeping the vase out of reach.

Do you offer new baby flower delivery across Scotland?

We hand-deliver new baby flowers daily across Edinburgh, West Lothian, Fife, Perthshire, and Tayside. Same-day and next-day delivery is available for new baby flowers UK-wide, across the rest of Scotland, and internationally using our trusted flower courier and Interflora network, so distance is never a reason to miss the moment.

How to Choose the Perfect New Baby Flowers

Half the fun of sending new baby flowers is choosing the palette, whether you’d rather keep things traditional or go neutral.

Flowers for Baby Boy

Blue hydrangeas, crisp white tulips, and a touch of waxflower for texture make a joyful, fresh bouquet in classic baby boy colours – exactly the sort of thing that gets a smile the second it’s unwrapped.

Flowers for Baby Girl

Pink peonies, blush roses, and trailing eucalyptus bring warmth and gentle colour to a traditional baby girl bouquet – beautiful on first glance and simply breathtaking in the vase.

Every arrangement can be created in gender neutral hues on request too, using the same seasonal blooms in cream, white, yellow, and green – ideal if the arrival is a surprise or you simply love a softer palette.

Bundle New Baby Flowers With a Gift

Flowers say congratulations beautifully on their own, but an added gift makes the celebration last a little longer.

Flowers only – A hand-tied new baby bouquet on its own, simple and still says everything it needs to.

Flowers and a teddy bear – Your bouquet paired with a keepsake teddy bear, a cuddly extra the baby can hold onto long after the flowers have faded. We stock Steiff Teddy Bears and Jellycat plushies in our flower shops, so give the team a call on 01506 811433 if you want to add one of our premium bears to your order.

Flowers and chocolates – New baby flowers accompanied by luxury chocolates, so the new parents have something sweet to enjoy while they celebrate their bundle of joy.

Flowers and champagne – All new parents will need a glass of something over the coming months! Pair their blooms with wine or champagne to toast the new arrival.

What Do New Baby Flowers Mean?

Pink roses stand for love and admiration, a way of celebrating the family bond that’s just grown a little bigger.

Tulips symbolise new beginnings and optimism, a fitting wish for a family just starting this new chapter together.

Peonies carry a wish for prosperity, good fortune, and a long, happy life – one of the warmest sentiments any new baby bouquet can send.

Hydrangeas, traditionally blue for a baby boy, mean gratitude, purity, and nurturing love.

Flowers for New Parents - Gifting Etiquette

Most maternity wards ask visitors not to bring flowers onto the ward, so send new baby flowers to the family home instead, timed for a few days after they’ve settled back in rather than the moment they walk through the door.

A short gift card goes a long way. ‘Welcome to the world, [baby’s name]’ or ‘So happy for your growing family’ – both say enough, warmly and simply.

Let us know if anyone in the family has a flower allergy or a sensitivity to strong scents when you order, and we’ll happily build your new baby flowers bouquet without lilies or other heavily scented blooms.
