Send Flowers to Stockholm, Sweden

Stockholm is Sweden's capital, spread across fourteen islands where Lake Mälaren meets the Baltic, with the Old Town and a large international population. Swedes abroad and expats who have moved on send flowers to parents in Bromma and Östermalm, friends in Vasastan and Kungsholmen, and colleagues in Solna and the city centre.

Mother's Day (Mors dag) in Sweden is the last Sunday of May. Alla hjärtans dag, 14 February, has grown into a major flower day, and in early June the studenten celebrations see school-leavers in white caps showered with bouquets. On Alla helgons dag in early November, Stockholmers light candles and lay flowers at Skogskyrkogården and other cemeteries, and funeral flowers are usually sent via the begravningsbyrå or to the chapel. For get-well deliveries, Karolinska University Hospital, Södersjukhuset and Danderyds sjukhus are the main destinations; check first, since some wards do not accept flowers.

Stockholm is one hour ahead of London and six ahead of New York. Order before midnight Swedish time and the bouquet is delivered the next day. We need the recipient's phone number: the florist calls ahead, and if nobody is home the courier phones to arrange another time. Roses, lilies, tulips from January to May, mixed bouquets and potted plants are available year round.
