How to Send Flowers to Finland from Abroad

Yes, you can send flowers to Finland from abroad by ordering online, paying in USD with a card or PayPal, and having a local florist in Finland hand-deliver the arrangement. FlowersFinland delivers across Finland, with next-day delivery nationwide and same-day delivery in major cities when the order is placed early.

This guide explains the exact steps, timing, cost, etiquette and recipient details you need before you place an order from the USA, UK, Canada, Spain or anywhere else.

Can you send flowers to Finland from another country?

Yes. You do not need to be in Finland, have a Finnish bank account or call a florist directly. On FlowersFinland, you choose an arrangement online, enter the recipient’s Finnish delivery details, write your card message, and pay in USD by card or PayPal.

A local florist in Finland prepares and hand-delivers the bouquet, plant or gift to the address you provide. Coverage is nationwide, including Helsinki, Espoo, Tampere, Vantaa, Oulu, Turku, Jyväskylä and Lahti.

This is often the simplest route for expats, international families and friends abroad because the checkout is designed for overseas senders. Prices are charged in USD, with EUR and GBP shown for reference, so you can compare costs without trying to navigate a Finnish-language florist site.

If the recipient is in the capital, you can use the local page for flower delivery in Helsinki. For other popular cities, FlowersFinland also covers areas such as Espoo and Tampere.

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

Ordering is straightforward, but a few details help avoid delays.

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

2. Check the delivery area. FlowersFinland delivers to any address in Finland. If the recipient is in a major city and you are ordering early in the day, same-day delivery may be available.

3. Enter the recipient’s name and full address. Include the street address, postal code, city and any apartment or building details you have.

4. Add the recipient’s phone number. This helps the local florist coordinate delivery if needed.

5. Write your card message. Every order includes a free printed card message, which is useful when you are sending from another country and cannot sign a card in person.

6. Add extras if appropriate. Available add-ons include chocolates, a vase, teddy bear, card, balloons and wine.

7. Pay online. FlowersFinland accepts cards through Stripe and PayPal. The charge is in USD.

For example, if you want a compact, modern gift, Peach & Succulent Studio is one option listed from USD 63.24. For birthdays or cheerful congratulations, a mixed bouquet is usually a safe choice.

How long does flower delivery in Finland take?

FlowersFinland offers next-day delivery across Finland. Same-day delivery is available in major cities such as Helsinki, Espoo and Tampere when the order is placed early.

If you are sending from the USA, remember the time difference. An order placed in the afternoon or evening in North America may already be late in Finland. If timing matters, order the day before rather than waiting until the recipient’s morning.

For peak flower dates, order at least 2 to 3 days ahead. This gives the florist more room to prepare and deliver during busy periods.

Occasion	Finnish name	Date	Ordering tip
Christmas	Joulu	December 25, 2026	Order at least 2 to 3 days ahead
Valentine’s Day	Ystävänpäivä, Friend’s Day	February 14, 2027	Order at least 2 to 3 days ahead
Mother’s Day	Äitienpäivä	May 9, 2027	Order at least 2 to 3 days ahead

Finland’s Valentine’s Day has a broader meaning than in some countries. Ystävänpäivä is commonly about friends as well as romantic partners, so cheerful flowers are appropriate for close friends, siblings and parents too. Red roses still read as romantic, so choose them when that is the message you want to send.

For Christmas, many Finnish families celebrate on Christmas Eve, Jouluaatto. If you want flowers in the home for the holiday period, do not wait until the last minute.

How much does it cost to send flowers to Finland?

On FlowersFinland, bouquets, plants and gifts range from USD 63.24 to USD 172.49. Delivery is a flat USD 14.95.

That means the lowest listed product price starts at USD 63.24 before delivery. With the flat delivery fee added, the total depends on the bouquet or gift you choose and any optional add-ons.

Prices are charged in USD. EUR and GBP are shown for reference, which can help if you live in Europe or the UK, but the checkout charge is in dollars.

The catalog includes 152 bouquets, plants and gifts. Add-ons can be useful when the occasion calls for more than flowers, such as chocolates for a birthday, a vase for someone who may not have one ready, or balloons for a celebration.

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

For most everyday occasions in Finland, keep the gesture tasteful and sincere. A fresh mixed bouquet, seasonal-looking arrangement, roses, lilies, tulips when available in the catalog, or a plant can work well for birthdays, thank-you gifts, congratulations and get-well wishes.

For romance, red roses are clear and direct. For a friend on Ystävänpäivä, a bright mixed bouquet usually feels more natural than a heavily romantic red rose arrangement.

For Mother’s Day, Äitienpäivä, soft spring colors, pinks, pastels and elegant mixed bouquets are good choices. A plant can also be a thoughtful option if the recipient enjoys something longer lasting.

For sympathy, use quieter colors and a respectful tone in the card message. If you are specifically sending condolences, choose from the sympathy flowers section so the style matches the occasion.

Avoid sending anything that could confuse the message. An all-red rose bouquet can feel romantic, so it may be too intense for a colleague, client or distant relative. Very formal all-white arrangements, white lilies or cemetery-style chrysanthemums can feel more like sympathy flowers, so they are usually not the best choice for a birthday or celebration.

If you are sending a florist-designed bouquet, you do not need to worry about counting stems. If you are sending or bringing individual cut stems in Finland, many people are used to odd numbers for celebratory flowers. A professionally arranged bouquet is judged more by its overall style and appropriateness than by a visible stem count.

Card wording can be simple. Finns often appreciate direct, warm messages rather than very dramatic language. Good examples include “Happy birthday, thinking of you from afar,” “With love on Mother’s Day,” or “Sending our condolences and warm thoughts.”

What details do you need from the recipient?

You need the recipient’s full name, full delivery address and phone number. The phone number matters because the florist may need to coordinate the hand-delivery.

For the address, include the street, building number, apartment or unit number if there is one, postal code and city. If the building has an entry code, gate note, company name or reception desk, include that too if you know it.

If you are sending to a workplace, add the company name and any department or floor information. If you are sending to a home, make sure the name on the order matches the person the florist should contact.

You should also check the spelling of Finnish names and cities before submitting the order. Accents and local characters matter in names and addresses. If the recipient lives in Jyväskylä, Hämeenlinna or another city with Finnish letters, copy the spelling from their own address if possible.

If you only have partial details, ask a family member or friend to confirm them before ordering. International flower delivery to Finland works best when the local florist has a complete address and a reachable phone number.

To order now, choose an arrangement from the FlowersFinland flower collection, enter the recipient’s Finnish address and phone number, write your free printed card message, then pay securely by card or PayPal. A local florist in Finland will prepare and hand-deliver your flowers.
