When someone you care about is unwell, recovering from surgery or simply having a difficult week, it's natural to want to do something to cheer them up.
You might not be able to visit, and sometimes finding the right words isn't easy. But sending a beautiful bunch of fresh flowers is a simple way to let someone know you're thinking of them.
If you're looking for get well soon flowers in Perth, there are plenty of lovely options, from bright and colourful bouquets to soft, calming arrangements and personalised flower boxes.
Here's our advice on choosing flowers that will make someone's day a little brighter.
There's no particular flower you have to send when someone is unwell.
The best choice usually comes down to their personality, favourite colours and where they'll be enjoying the flowers.
Some people love bright, cheerful arrangements, while others prefer softer colours and a more understated style.
At The Flower Boutique, we love using fresh seasonal flowers to create arrangements that feel thoughtful and full of character.
Some lovely options include:
Gerberas: Bright, colourful flowers that bring a cheerful feel to an arrangement.
Roses: A classic choice, particularly in pink, peach or cream.
Chrysanthemums: Beautifully full flowers available in a range of colours.
Disbuds: Lovely statement blooms that add texture and interest.
Seasonal mixed flowers: Perfect when you want a beautiful combination of colours and varieties.
You don't need to worry too much about traditional flower meanings. Choosing something the recipient would genuinely enjoy is far more important.
Sometimes a splash of colour is exactly what someone's home needs.
Bright pinks, cheerful yellows, warm oranges and fresh greenery can make a room feel more welcoming.
These combinations are particularly lovely for someone recovering at home, where they can enjoy the flowers from their favourite chair or bedside table.
One of our favourites is our Hello Spring bouquet, featuring a beautiful mix of orange, yellow and white seasonal flowers.
It's cheerful without being overly formal, making it a lovely choice for a friend, family member or colleague who could use a little pick-me-up.

Not everyone loves bold colours.
If you're sending flowers to someone who prefers a quieter style, soft pinks, creams, whites and neutral tones can be just as beautiful.
These arrangements have a gentle, elegant appearance and work particularly well in bedrooms, living rooms and smaller spaces.
A white and neutral bouquet is also a thoughtful option when you're unsure of the recipient's favourite colours.
Our Simplicity bouquet is a beautiful example, featuring soft white and neutral flowers complemented by fresh greenery.
It's a lovely way to show someone you're thinking of them without needing a special occasion.

Sometimes the message you send is just as important as the flowers themselves.
At The Flower Boutique, our signature personalised flower boxes allow you to include a custom printed message directly on the front of the box.
Instead of relying only on a card, you can make your message part of the arrangement.
A few ideas include:
Get Well Soon!
Sending You Sunshine
Thinking of You
Rest Up & Feel Better
You've Got This!
Sending Lots of Love
Or you could choose something personal that will make them smile.
Another benefit of flower boxes is that they arrive already arranged and ready to display.
For someone who's recovering from an illness or operation, not having to find a vase or arrange the flowers can be a thoughtful detail.
You can explore our personalised flower boxes and choose colours that suit the recipient.
Absolutely, provided flowers are suitable for their circumstances.
If someone is recovering at home, a fresh arrangement can be a lovely way to brighten their surroundings.
You don't need to send anything enormous. A smaller bouquet, posy or flower box can be just as thoughtful.
In fact, something compact may be more practical if they're resting in bed or don't have much space available.
For someone recovering from surgery, we'd generally recommend choosing an arrangement that's easy to care for.
A flower box or vase arrangement can be particularly convenient because it arrives ready to display.
It's also worth checking whether the recipient has any sensitivities to fragrances or pollen before choosing flowers.
Sometimes, but it's important to check with the hospital first.
Many hospitals have rules about flowers, particularly in certain wards or areas where infection control is a concern.
Before ordering hospital flower delivery in Perth, we recommend:
Contacting the hospital to confirm whether flowers are permitted.
Checking the patient's ward and room details.
Confirming the recipient is still admitted and able to receive deliveries.
Asking whether there are restrictions on particular flowers or arrangements.
If the hospital doesn't accept flowers, you can always arrange delivery to the recipient's home once they've been discharged.
In many cases, this can be an even nicer surprise because they'll have more time to enjoy the arrangement.
At The Flower Boutique, delivery availability depends on the recipient's location and our serviced delivery suburbs, so it's important to confirm the address before ordering.
You don't need to write a long message.
A few thoughtful words are often enough to let someone know you're thinking of them.
Here are some simple ideas.
For a close friend:
"Sending you lots of love. Hope you're back on your feet soon!"
For your mum or dad:
"Thinking of you every day. Rest up and feel better soon. Love you!"
For a work colleague:
"Wishing you a smooth recovery. We're all thinking of you."
For someone recovering from surgery:
"Take your time, rest up and look after yourself. Sending lots of love."
For someone having a difficult time:
"Just a little something to brighten your day. Thinking of you."
Our advice is to keep your message natural.
Write something you'd genuinely say to the person rather than trying to make it sound overly formal.
All three make lovely get well soon gifts, but there are a few practical differences.
Bouquets are a classic choice and work beautifully for someone recovering at home.
They're available in different sizes and colour combinations, making them easy to personalise.
The recipient will need a suitable vase and fresh water.
Flower boxes are a practical option because the flowers are already arranged.
They're ideal for someone who may not have the energy to organise a bouquet themselves.
You can also include a personalised printed message on selected boxes.
Vase arrangements are another thoughtful option, particularly if you want something that's ready to enjoy immediately.
They can be placed on a bedside table, kitchen bench or living room table without any additional preparation.
For someone recovering from illness, we'd usually lean towards an arrangement that's easy to display and maintain.
If someone is recovering at home, sending flowers can be a lovely way to show your support without interrupting their rest.
It's worth checking a few things before arranging delivery.
Make sure you have the correct address and contact details.
If the recipient is likely to be resting, consider whether someone else will be home to accept the delivery.
You can also include useful delivery instructions, such as asking the courier to avoid ringing the doorbell if that's appropriate and the florist can accommodate the request.
And if you're unsure whether the recipient would appreciate flowers, there's nothing wrong with asking a family member first.
The goal is to make their day easier, not create something else they need to organise.
