How to Send Flowers to Vietnam from France: Step-by-Step
By the Vietnam Flower Delivery team · 2026-11-06
To send flowers from France to Vietnam, order through WhatsApp with your recipient's full Vietnamese name, phone number, and street address in Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City. You pay by international card or bank transfer; we photograph the real bouquet before delivery and send it to you for approval. Delivery takes 5–10 business days. Vietnam is 6–7 hours ahead of France depending on daylight saving time, so morning orders from France arrive the next afternoon in Vietnam. We work only in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City—no other cities. Vietnam Flower Delivery by Hoa Lang Thang handles the entire cross-border logistics; you never handle flowers yourself. Ask us for a quote on WhatsApp, and we'll confirm the exact date your recipient will receive it. Order on WhatsApp +84 969 293 894
What is the Vietnamese address format you need?
Vietnamese addresses look different from French ones, and mistakes here delay delivery by 1–2 days. A valid format includes: recipient's full name (first name last, as Vietnamese write it), street number and street name, ward name, district name, city (Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City), and phone number. Skip postal codes—Vietnam's system doesn't use them reliably. Ask your recipient to write their home address the way they give it to a taxi driver. Our team verifies it before we arrange pickup.

How do time zones affect when flowers arrive?
France runs UTC+1 (winter) or UTC+2 (summer); Vietnam is UTC+7 year-round. That's a 6–7 hour gap. If you order Monday 10:00 AM Paris time, we receive it and confirm by Monday 4:00 PM Hanoi time, then arrange delivery for Tuesday or Wednesday depending on stock. The recipient gets a SMS call from the florist 30 minutes before arrival—they must be home or arrange a trusted neighbor. Delays happen if the address is wrong or the phone number doesn't work; always double-check both.
Can you send flowers to other Vietnamese cities?
No. We deliver only in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City—these are our two shop locations.
How does the photo confirmation work?
After you order on WhatsApp and confirm the date, our florists in Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City arrange your chosen bouquet style with fresh imported or local flowers. Before we leave the shop, we photograph the exact arrangement you're paying for and send it to you via WhatsApp. You have 15 minutes to approve it, ask for changes, or cancel. This prevents surprises; your recipient sees the same bouquet we photographed. If you request changes—more roses, different foliage, a card message in Vietnamese—we remake it and re-photograph. Only then do we deliver.
What payment methods work across borders?
We accept international credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express) processed through secure payment gateways, or direct bank transfers to our Vietnamese account (ask us for bank details on WhatsApp). No PayPal or cryptocurrency. Card payments clear in 1–2 hours; bank transfers take 1–3 business days depending on your French bank's routing. We hold your order until payment confirms—do not delay or your preferred delivery date may close. Ask us for a quote on WhatsApp, and we'll send a payment link or invoice.

What flowers suit Vietnamese occasions best?
| Occasion | Best flowers | Why | Send to |
|---|---|---|---|
| Birthday | Sunflowers, gerberas, tulips | Cheerful, long-lasting, no funeral ties | Birthday bouquets |
| Mother's Day (May) | Roses, lilies, carnations | Red/pink = love & gratitude in Vietnam | Mother's Day collection |
| March 8 (Women's Day) | Red roses, mixed bouquets | National women's celebration | Women's Day flowers |
| October 20 (Girlfriend Day) | Pink/red roses, tulips | Romantic, intimate | Anniversary & love flowers |
| Tet (Lunar New Year) | Apricot blossoms, peach, marigolds | Traditional symbols of renewal | Tet gifts & flowers |
| Funeral / Death anniversary | White chrysanthemums, lilies | Respect, no reds or pinks | Sympathy & funeral flowers |
| Grand opening / Business | Gold-yellow, red arrangements, potted orchids | Prosperity symbolism in Asia | Business & opening flowers |
| New baby or get-well | Pastel tulips, roses, mixed bouquets | Soft colors, hope | New baby & get-well flowers |
Never send chrysanthemums for birthdays in Vietnam—only for funerals. Avoid yellow chrysanthemums entirely. White flowers are reserved for mourning; avoid them for celebrations. Red and pink are safe for love and joy.
What card message options do you offer?
You can include a card message in English or Vietnamese. If you write in English, we translate it to Vietnamese (1–2 sentences maximum on the card). If you write Vietnamese yourself, we use it exactly as you provide it. Common phrases: "Chúc mừng sinh nhật" (Happy birthday), "Yêu em" (I love you), "Xin lỗi" (I'm sorry), "Thăm hỏi sức khỏe" (Wishing you health). Vietnamese is tonal; misspellings can change meaning entirely, so if you're unsure, write in English and we'll handle the translation. The card arrives with the flowers, hand-written in Vietnamese script.

What should you verify before ordering from France?
Recipient's information:
- Full name spelled exactly as it appears on their ID or how they introduce themselves.
- Mobile phone number with country code +84 (e.g., +84 912 345 678); verify by texting them first.
- Full street address in Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City: street number, street name, ward, district. Ask them to copy-paste from Google Maps or their lease/utility bill.
- Best delivery date: remember Vietnam is 6–7 hours ahead; order at least 2–3 days before your desired delivery date to account for our fulfillment time.
Your order details:
- Bouquet style or collection: browse by occasion.
- Exact card message (English or Vietnamese).
- Special requests: no perfumed flowers (allergies), long-stem vs. compact, specific color preference.
- Payment method and currency: confirm the final amount in euros or your card currency before submitting.
Common mistakes to avoid:
- Typos in the phone number (delivery driver cannot reach the recipient).
- Incomplete address (missing ward or district name—Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City have many similarly named streets).
- Ordering on a Friday for Monday delivery (weekends slow processing; add 1–2 extra days).
- Forgetting the time zone: your "tomorrow" may be your recipient's day-after-tomorrow.
Where exactly do we deliver in Vietnam?
Flower delivery in Hanoi covers the capital's central districts: Ba Đình, Hoàn Kiếm, Hai Bà Trưng, Đống Đa, Cầu Giấy, Thanh Xuân, and some outer areas. Flower delivery in Ho Chi Minh City covers Districts 1, 3, 5, 7, Bình Thạnh, Tân Bình, and nearby. If the address is in an outer suburb or rural zone within these cities, ask us—some areas have longer delivery times or surcharges. We will tell you honestly if we cannot reach it.
Can you add gifts, chocolates, or cake with the flowers?
Yes. We offer flowers bundled with gifts—cakes, chocolates, teddy bears, or local Vietnamese treats. You order both together; we coordinate arrival on the same day so your recipient gets a complete present. Cake expires faster than flowers, so we time delivery for morning or afternoon to suit shelf life. Ask us which gift options are in stock before confirming.
