Which flowers work well for a new mother?
For a new mother, a bouquet with soft pastel or neutral tones tends to feel calm and welcoming. Two options from our catalog fit that style. The Whispered Pastel Posy is a good choice if you want gentle, soft colors. If you prefer something more neutral and simple, the Ivory Purity Bowl is worth a look.
A compact arrangement is usually easier for new parents to manage than a very large display. Bouquets start at USD 73.24, and the full catalog runs up to USD 182.49, so you can choose a size that suits your budget. Browse everything in the flowers category.
Which flowers and scents should you avoid for a new mother?
Lilies are the flower most often left out of gifts for new mothers. They have a strong fragrance, and their pollen stains fabric and skin easily. Heavily perfumed blooms, such as hyacinths, can also be overwhelming in a small hospital room or a bedroom where a newborn is sleeping.
Hospital rooms in Sweden are often small, so a bouquet that is compact and mild-smelling is more practical than a tall, crowded arrangement. Some wards also have their own rules about flowers and plants. If you are unsure, check with the parents before you order, and ask whether the ward or room has any restrictions.
How does delivery to a home or hospital work?
FlowersSweden delivers next day across Sweden, Monday to Saturday, for orders placed before midnight Sweden time. Same-day delivery is not offered, and there are no deliveries on Sundays or main public holidays. You can write a preferred time in the delivery instructions. The florist tries to meet it, but exact time slots are not guaranteed.
The service covers all of Sweden, including cities such as Stockholm and Uppsala. For a hospital delivery, include the ward or room details in the delivery instructions if you know them. The florist needs the recipient name, full address and a phone number to coordinate the delivery.
How far ahead should you order?
A birth date is hard to predict, so most people order for the day they hear the baby has arrived or for the day the family gets home. Because delivery is next day, place your order before midnight Sweden time on the day before you want the flowers to arrive. For fixed dates, such as Mors dag (Mother's Day), order at least 2 to 3 days ahead.

Can you add a card message or a gift to the bouquet?
Yes. Every order includes a free printed card, so you can write your message there. A simple line such as "Grattis till den nya familjen" (congratulations to the new family) works well in Swedish, or you can write in English. Your message is printed on the card that comes with the flowers.
If you want to add something, the optional extras are a box of chocolates, a glass vase, a plush teddy bear, a greeting card, balloons and a wine bottle. A plush teddy bear is a popular companion for a new baby gift. Choose the wine bottle only if the parents would enjoy it.
To place your order, go to the flowers category, choose your bouquet, add your card message, and enter the recipient name, full address, phone number and any delivery instructions.
