Lunar New Year flowers for Vietnam offices: what to send

By the Vietnam Flower Delivery team · 2026-11-06

For offices celebrating Lunar New Year in Vietnam, send fresh flower arrangements 5–10 days before Tet using WhatsApp from abroad; we deliver in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City only. Red and gold designs symbolize luck and prosperity—perfect for team spaces or executive desks. Yellow chrysanthemums and white calla lilies work for modern corporate settings; avoid all-white arrangements (associated with funerals). Ask us for a quote on WhatsApp—timing and address accuracy prevent delays. Order on WhatsApp +84 969 293 894

Why offices receive Tet flowers differently than homes

Office Tet deliveries must arrive during working hours, respect desk space and last through multi-day closures (offices may shut 5–7 days). Home arrangements wilt in that time. For offices, choose tall arrangements in sturdy vases or compact designs that fit cubicles—a manager's corner table suits a 60 cm arrangement; a shared team desk needs something tighter. Corporate recipients value flowers that signal prosperity without overwhelming the workspace. Red and gold colour schemes speak to Tet fortune-giving; yellow suggests wealth. Avoid overly fragrant blooms that distract in open offices. Time your order so flowers arrive on the last working day before closure or the first day back—missing that window means a wilted gift.

What colours and flowers mean luck at Tet

Red flowers—particularly those in the peony or rose family—symbolize happiness and good fortune in Vietnamese culture and fit Tet perfectly. Gold, deep orange and crimson accents amplify prosperity messaging. Yellow chrysanthemums convey joy and longevity. White flowers traditionally signal mourning; send white-heavy arrangements only to sympathy events, not Tet offices. Pale pink and soft coral work if paired with red or gold; they soften formality while keeping the luck angle. Avoid purple (associated with infidelity) and all-white designs. Explore our Tet-focused collection for pre-designed options honouring these customs—we craft every bouquet to these standards for corporate settings.

How sending from abroad works

How to order from abroad and confirm arrival

WhatsApp is your main channel: send a message to +84 969 293 894 with your recipient's full name, office address (including street, district/ward, city and phone number), desired date, and design preference. We respond within 2 hours (Hanoi and HCMC are UTC+7; adjust for your time zone). Confirm the recipient's phone number—our delivery team calls 15 minutes before arrival. Payment options: international credit/debit card or bank transfer details provided once we quote. After payment clears, we photograph the real bouquet in your design and send it via WhatsApp—you see exactly what arrives. If the office is in a mall, hospital or building with restricted access, provide that detail so we arrive at the right entry. Note the office's Tet closure dates when ordering; flowers sent too early wilt before reopening.

Comparing office Tet designs: modern vs. traditional messaging

Design typeWho it suitsWhy it worksTiming
Red roses + gold leaf (tall, 80 cm+)Formal teams, C-suiteBold prosperity signal; high-end feelOrder 7–10 days ahead
Yellow chrysanthemums + red hypericumWarm teams, mixed seniorityCheerful, long-lasting, soft formality5–7 days ahead
Calla lilies + eucalyptus (minimalist)Tech/design officesModern, elegant, doesn't scream "luck"—whispers it5 days ahead
Peony-style mixed (full, rounded)Department celebrationsAbundant, celebratory, suits shared spaces7–10 days ahead
Sunflower + red accent (playful)Younger teams, startupsEnergetic, approachable, still Tet-aligned5 days ahead

Each design lives 5–7 days indoors without water change; offices shut 5+ days, so choose end-of-working-day delivery. Modern designs suit open-plan spaces; traditional reds suit formal reception areas.

Should you send one arrangement or multiple for a large team

One stunning arrangement signals company-wide respect and sits in a shared reception, meeting room, or executive office. Multiple smaller designs—one per floor or department—cost more but recognize team identity. For offices with 30+ staff, one large focal arrangement often has greater impact: it becomes the visual centerpiece everyone sees, avoids the appearance of favouritism, and withstands the closure period as a single investment in maintenance. For smaller teams (under 15), one thoughtful arrangement per key manager or department head feels personal. Explore our business and opening collection for corporate-scale arrangements. Ask us for bulk-order pricing on WhatsApp if sending 5+ bouquets to one company.

Addressing Hanoi vs. Ho Chi Minh City offices: what changes

Both cities have dense office districts; accuracy prevents delays. In Hanoi, buildings in Ba Đình, Hoàn Kiếm, and Cầu Giấy districts have tight access—provide the exact building code and floor. HCMC offices in District 1, Bình Thạnh, and Tan Bình require the same detail plus the company's phone number for access. Time zones matter: if you're in North America, 8 p.m. EST = 9 a.m. Hanoi/HCMC next day—message early so we confirm the arrival window. Hanoi closes offices slightly earlier for Tet (often 3–4 p.m. on the last working day); HCMC may run until 5 p.m. Ask the recipient's office hours and we'll schedule accordingly. We deliver in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City only; we cannot serve other provinces.

Including a card message: Vietnamese etiquette and phrasing

A card message personalizes the gift and shows cultural respect. In Vietnamese, short Tet wishes like "Chúc mừng năm mới, mạnh khỏe và thăng tiến" (Wishing you a healthy new year and career success) suit formal offices. For English-speaking teams, "Wishing your team prosperity and joy in the year ahead" translates respect without presuming fluency. Avoid phrases suggesting the recipient is old or unlucky; avoid jokes about money or family (personal topics risk offence in formal settings). Keep messages to 2–3 short sentences. We write the message on a card included with the bouquet; provide your exact wording on WhatsApp and we handle Vietnamese translation if needed. Corporate messages thanking staff or acknowledging teamwork feel warm and appropriate. Hand-written-style cards add prestige compared to printed labels.

What to check before you buy: a checklist

  • Recipient's full name and office phone number – our driver calls 15 minutes before arrival.
  • Exact office address: street, building code, floor, company name – prevents misdelivery in towers.
  • Office hours and Tet closure dates – we schedule arrival on the last working day before closure.
  • Recipient's preferred colours (no white, no purple) – let us know allergies or superstitions.
  • Vase preference – do they have space for a tall arrangement or prefer compact?
  • Time zone difference – order 5–10 days early; confirm the arrival date on WhatsApp.
  • Delivery slot (morning vs. afternoon) – morning suits formal offices; late afternoon suits informal.
  • Card message in English or Vietnamese – we translate or use your wording exactly.
  • Payment method – international card or bank transfer; ask us for details after the quote.
  • Photo confirmation – we send a WhatsApp photo of the bouquet before it leaves; approve or request changes same-day.

Missing office address details is the top delay; double-check with the recipient beforehand.

How sending from abroad works

What goes wrong and how to avoid it

Address too vague. "City office building" won't work. Get the street name, ward, building number and floor. Call the recipient and confirm; we'll text a confirmation link.

Timing too late. Tet week is busiest; ordering 2–3 days before closes slots. Plan 7–10 days ahead. Flowers ordered after offices close will arrive during the closure and wilt.

Wrong colour messaging. All-white or purple-heavy arrangements signal sadness or infidelity at Tet. Confirm the colour scheme on WhatsApp before payment.

Phone number missing or wrong. Our driver calls 15 minutes before arrival. Without a working number, we can't reach the recipient and may have to reschedule.

Payment not cleared. International bank transfers take 1–2 days; card payments clear instantly. Confirm your payment method with us to avoid delays.
