Lunar New Year Flowers Vietnam from France: Shop by Type

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

Lunar New Year flowers from France reach Vietnam through a cross-border process: you order on WhatsApp in English, we photograph the real bouquet in our Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City shop, you pay by card or bank transfer, and the recipient gets the arrangement within 24 hours of confirmation. Tet blooms—especially red and yellow chrysanthemums, peach blossoms, and kumquat branches—symbolise good fortune and renewal in Vietnamese culture. Expect 5–10 days transit time from France, so order 2–3 weeks before Lunar New Year. We deliver only in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. Ask us for a quote on WhatsApp; timing, design, and freshness are critical during peak Tet demand. Order on WhatsApp +84 969 293 894 | How sending from abroad works

Why does Tet flower choice matter more than other occasions?

Tet flowers aren't decorative extras—they're symbolic gifts that shape how the recipient's year begins in Vietnamese tradition. Red and gold arrangements invite prosperity; peach blossoms (in the north) and apricot (in the south) represent renewal; kumquat trees bearing fruit signal abundance. A hastily chosen design can miss these meanings entirely. Most people sending from abroad don't know that flower colour and type carry specific Tet messages. We guide you through the symbolism so your gift honours the occasion, not just fills a vase. This matters because Tet visitors—family, business partners—see the flowers immediately upon arrival.

What types of Tet flowers work best for different recipients?

Tet flower designs fall into five main categories, each suited to different relationships and budgets:

RecipientDesign TypeWho It's ForWhy It Works
Parent / grandparentRed chrysanthemum arrangement with greeneryDeep respect, gratitudeTradition, long shelf life, prosperity symbol
Spouse / partnerMixed roses and orchids, red/gold tonesRomance within family contextCombines love with Tet luck symbolism

Each design is built fresh in our Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City workshop. We photograph it before dispatch so you see exactly what arrives. Imported blooms (roses, orchids) cost more but last longer; local chrysanthemums and seasonal branches offer authentic symbolism at lower cost. Ask us for a quote on WhatsApp once you've chosen a type.

How do timing and delivery zones work when ordering from France?

France to Vietnam is 5–10 days shipping, plus 1–2 days for us to confirm your card or bank transfer and prepare the arrangement. A Lunar New Year delivery means ordering by early February (specific dates depend on that year's Tet calendar). We deliver only in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City; no other Vietnamese cities. Provide the recipient's full address and mobile number in the correct format: Vietnamese numbers are 10 digits (e.g. 0912 345 678). Time zones matter: France is 6–7 hours behind Vietnam, so WhatsApp messages sent in your evening arrive their morning. Order during your daytime to get a same-day reply. Peak Tet week delays our photo confirmation by 24 hours, so don't wait until the last week. Missing a deadline means your flowers arrive after Tet, losing their cultural impact.

What details must you provide to avoid delivery failures?

Most cross-border flower orders fail because of incomplete or incorrectly formatted address and contact details. Before ordering, collect:

  • Recipient's full name (family name + given name, as it appears on ID)
  • Complete street address in Vietnam, with ward and district
  • Mobile number: 10 digits, starting with 0 (e.g. 0912 345 678)
  • Preferred delivery date (give a 2–3 day window for Tet flexibility)
  • Any card message in English; we translate it to Vietnamese for free
  • Your name and email for payment confirmation and photo proof

Common errors: incomplete addresses without ward/district (our couriers cannot find the house), phone numbers with country code when we need the local format, no delivery window (Tet schedules shift daily), or asking for delivery outside Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City (we cannot serve other cities and will say so plainly). Provide these details on WhatsApp before payment to confirm we can reach the recipient. Once confirmed, we send you a quote, you pay, and we photograph the bouquet 24 hours before delivery.

How does the cross-border payment and photo confirmation process work?

After you confirm the order details on WhatsApp, we send an invoice with two payment options: international card (Visa, Mastercard) or bank transfer. Payment is secure; we process it through encrypted channels. Once paid, our team in Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City prepares your bouquet using fresh imported and local blooms (based on your chosen design and budget). Approximately 4–6 hours before scheduled delivery, we photograph the real arrangement and send it to you on WhatsApp. You can request changes at this stage (more red, fewer roses, different vase) and we adjust if time allows. After photo approval, our courier delivers the bouquet to the recipient's address, usually between 08:00 and 18:00, and sends a photo confirmation to you of the recipient receiving it. No invoice surprises, no guessing whether your flowers arrived whole.

What should you check before buying Tet flowers from overseas?

Before committing to an order, verify these six points:

  1. Recipient location: Is it Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City? We do not deliver elsewhere in Vietnam.
  2. Tet timing: When is Lunar New Year that year? Order 2–3 weeks ahead to clear customs and transport.
  3. Phone format: Does the recipient's number have 10 digits and start with 0? Confirm before paying.
  4. Address completeness: Does it include street, ward, and district? Test the format with them via message first.
  5. Symbolism match: Have you chosen a design (red chrysanthemums for luck, peach branch for renewal, roses for family respect)? Or do you need guidance?
  6. Budget basis: Ask us for a quote on WhatsApp so you know the total before card or transfer. No hidden fees.

If any detail is unclear, message us on WhatsApp before paying. Tet is about intention; rushing the order defeats that purpose. We've seen orders delayed because senders skipped the address check or ordered to a closed business address during Tet shutdown. A five-minute verification saves a week of regret.

FAQ

Can I send Tet flowers from France to cities outside Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City?

No. We deliver only in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. If the recipient lives elsewhere in Vietnam, we cannot guarantee delivery and will not accept the order. Confirm their city before ordering on WhatsApp.

How long do imported Tet flowers last compared to local Vietnamese blooms?

Imported roses and orchids last 10–14 days in a vase; local chrysanthemums and seasonal branches last 7–10 days. Both are fresh when we deliver. During Tet heat, all blooms fade faster, so freshness on arrival matters most.

If Tet falls in early February, when should I order from France?

Order 2–3 weeks before Tet so transit and customs clear in time. For mid-February Tet, order by late January. WhatsApp us the exact Tet date and we'll confirm if delivery is possible for your preferred day.

Can I include a card message in French, and will it be translated to Vietnamese?

Yes. Send your message in French or English on WhatsApp. We translate it to Vietnamese for free and include it with the bouquet. Provide the text before payment so there are no delays.

What happens if the recipient's address is incomplete or the phone number is wrong?

Our courier cannot deliver. Before payment, we confirm every address detail and phone format on WhatsApp. If something is missing, we ask you to verify with the recipient first. No order is final until both details are confirmed correct.

Are there any hidden fees or additional charges when I pay by international card from France?

No hidden fees. Ask us for a quote on WhatsApp; the total you receive includes the bouquet, delivery, and photo confirmation. Card processing may include your bank's foreign-transaction fee, but that's between you and your bank, not us.
