How to Send Flowers to Sweden from Abroad

Yes, you can send flowers to Sweden from abroad. Order online, pay in USD by card or PayPal, and a local Swedish florist hand-delivers the bouquet, plant, or gift to the recipient anywhere in Sweden.

This is the simplest option for expats, relatives, and friends in the USA, UK, Canada, Spain, or elsewhere who want reliable flower delivery in Sweden without calling a Swedish shop or dealing with time zones.

Can you send flowers to Sweden from another country?

Yes. FlowersSweden is built for international orders, including people who want to send flowers to Sweden from USA, the UK, Europe, Canada, Australia, and other countries. You place the order on flowerssweden.com, choose the delivery address in Sweden, and pay online.

The order is fulfilled locally in Sweden. That matters because fresh flowers are arranged and hand-delivered by a local florist, rather than shipped in a box from overseas. It also makes delivery practical across Sweden, including major cities and smaller places.

Coverage includes all of Sweden, with delivery available in Stockholm, Gothenburg, Malmö, Uppsala, Västerås, Örebro, Linköping, Helsingborg, and other locations nationwide. If the recipient is in the capital, you can go straight to Stockholm flower delivery. For southern Sweden, there are city pages for Malmö flower delivery and Gothenburg flower delivery as well.

How to send flowers to Sweden from abroad, step by step

The process is straightforward, even if you do not speak Swedish or know the local florist near the recipient.

1. Choose the flowers or gift. Start with the main flower delivery collection, then pick a bouquet, plant, or gift that fits the occasion.

2. Select the delivery date. Next-day delivery is available nationwide. Same-day delivery is available in major cities such as Stockholm, Gothenburg, and Malmö when the order is placed early.

3. Enter the recipient details. Use the full name, complete street address, postal code, city, and phone number. The phone number helps the florist coordinate delivery if needed.

4. Add your card message. Every order includes a free printed card message, so write a short note in English, Swedish, or another language the recipient will understand.

5. Choose add-ons if helpful. Available extras include chocolates, a vase, teddy bear, card, balloons, and wine.

6. Pay online. Prices are charged in USD, with EUR and SEK shown for reference. Payment is available by card through Stripe or by PayPal.

If the recipient is older, newly arrived in Sweden, or living in an apartment building, the phone number and any access details are especially important. Swedish apartment deliveries can involve door codes, entry phones, or buildings where the florist needs to reach the recipient before delivery.

How long does flower delivery in Sweden take?

FlowersSweden offers next-day delivery across Sweden. Same-day delivery is available in major cities such as Stockholm, Gothenburg, and Malmö when the order is placed early.

If you are ordering from North America, remember the time difference. Sweden is several hours ahead of the USA and Canada, so an order that feels early in your day may already be late afternoon or evening in Sweden. For same-day delivery, order as early as possible.

For peak Swedish flower dates, order at least 2 to 3 days ahead. This gives the local florist more time to prepare and helps you avoid last-minute stress around holidays.

Occasion in Sweden	Date	Good flower choice	When to order
Alla helgons dag (All Saints' Day)	October 31, 2026	White or subdued flowers	At least 2 to 3 days ahead
Fars dag (Father's Day)	November 8, 2026	A plant or modern bouquet	At least 2 to 3 days ahead
Luciadagen (Saint Lucy's Day)	December 13, 2026	White, seasonal, or winter flowers	At least 2 to 3 days ahead
Christmas	December 25, 2026	Festive flowers or a centerpiece	At least 2 to 3 days ahead
Valentine's Day	February 14, 2027	Roses or romantic flowers	At least 2 to 3 days ahead
Mors dag (Mother's Day)	May 30, 2027	Spring flowers or pastel bouquets	At least 2 to 3 days ahead
Midsommarafton (Midsummer Eve)	June 25, 2027	Bright seasonal flowers	At least 2 to 3 days ahead

For Swedish holidays with strong flower traditions, such as Luciadagen and Midsommarafton, it is better to choose early than to wait for the exact day. If you are sending for Valentine's Day, also known in Sweden as Alla hjärtans dag, romantic flowers and red roses are a natural fit.

How much does it cost to send flowers to Sweden?

FlowersSweden bouquet, plant, and gift prices range from USD 63.24 to USD 172.49, plus a flat delivery fee of USD 14.95. Prices are charged in USD, and EUR and SEK are shown for reference.

A simple way to estimate your total is to add the product price and the flat delivery fee. For example, if you choose a bouquet priced at USD 68.99, the delivery fee is USD 14.95 on top of that. Add-ons such as chocolates, balloons, a vase, a teddy bear, wine, or an extra card may change the final order total.

There are 152 bouquets, plants, and gifts in the catalog. For a clean, long-lasting gift, a plant such as the Modern Soleil Planter can be a good choice for birthdays, thank-you gifts, housewarmings, or Father’s Day.

What flowers are appropriate in Sweden, and which should you avoid?

Swedish flower etiquette is usually simple: choose fresh, well-arranged flowers that suit the relationship and the occasion. Understated, natural-looking bouquets often feel right in Sweden, especially for people who prefer a less formal style.

For birthdays, thank-you gifts, congratulations, or everyday affection, mixed seasonal bouquets, tulips in season, roses, gerberas, and cheerful color combinations are safe choices. For Mors dag, soft spring flowers and pastel arrangements are appropriate. For Midsommarafton, bright seasonal flowers fit the mood of one of Sweden’s most floral celebrations.

For romance, red roses are understood, especially on Valentine's Day. Pink, white, and mixed romantic bouquets also work if you want something softer than classic red. If the relationship is not romantic, avoid sending a very passionate red rose arrangement unless that message is intended.

For sympathy, choose calm colors, especially whites, creams, soft pinks, and gentle greens. A simple arrangement from the sympathy flowers collection is usually more appropriate than a bright birthday-style bouquet. If you are sending condolences from abroad, keep the card message short and sincere.

For hospitals, care homes, or workplaces, avoid overly large arrangements unless you know there is space for them. A vase arrangement or compact bouquet can be easier for the recipient to keep nearby.

A few practical cautions help. Do not choose wine as an add-on unless you are confident it is welcome. Avoid joke gifts or loud balloon messages for formal condolences. If you are unsure about the recipient’s taste, choose whites, pastels, or a balanced mixed bouquet rather than a dramatic color scheme.

What details do you need from the recipient?

You need the recipient’s full name, full delivery address, and phone number. The phone number is not just a formality. It helps the florist coordinate the delivery if the building is locked, the address is unclear, or the recipient is not immediately reachable.

For the address, include the street name and number, apartment details if applicable, postal code, and city. If you know a door code, entry instructions, floor, company name, department, hospital ward, hotel name, or reception desk details, include them in the delivery instructions.

For workplace deliveries, add the company name and any desk, department, or reception information. For hotel deliveries, include the guest name exactly as booked, the hotel name, and the arrival date if relevant. For apartment deliveries, door codes and mobile numbers are often useful.

Your card message can be brief. Examples include:

• “Thinking of you today and sending love from New York.”
• “Grattis på födelsedagen! Wish we could celebrate with you.”
• “With deepest sympathy and warm thoughts from our family.”
• “Happy Mother’s Day. We miss you and love you.”

If you do not know Swedish, English is fine when the recipient understands it. For close family, a personal message matters more than perfect wording.

To order, choose a bouquet from the FlowersSweden flower collection, enter the Swedish delivery address and recipient phone number, add your free printed card message, then pay online by card or PayPal. A local florist in Sweden will prepare and hand-deliver your order.
