Lunar New Year Flowers Vietnam from Sweden: Order Guide
By the Vietnam Flower Delivery team · 2026-11-06
Ordering Tet flowers from Sweden to Vietnam works through WhatsApp in English—you choose a design, we confirm your recipient's Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City address and phone number, and send a photo of the real bouquet before delivery. Payment is by international card or bank transfer; Sweden is 6–7 hours ahead of Vietnam, so orders placed in Swedish morning reach your recipient the same day or next working day depending on timing. Hoa Lang Thang ships only to Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City; other Vietnamese cities are not served. Tet designs typically feature red and gold for luck, peonies or lilies for abundance, and orchids for elegance. Orders placed mid-week arrive within 5–10 working days; avoid last-minute requests during peak Tet week. Cost varies by design and delivery location; ask us for a quote on WhatsApp including your preferred style and recipient's city. Order on WhatsApp +84 969 293 894 | How sending from abroad works
Why does lunar new year flower choice matter in Vietnam?
Tet flowers are not decorative—they carry spiritual and prosperity meanings rooted in Vietnamese tradition. Red symbolizes luck and ward off bad fortune; gold represents wealth; white and yellow mean purity and joy. Peonies mean wealth and honor; chrysanthemums represent longevity; orchids convey elegance and strength. Sending the wrong color or type can be read as inauspicious by older family members, while the right choice shows respect for the occasion and the recipient's culture. Choose designs that honor these meanings, not random Western florals.

Which Tet flower designs work best from abroad?
Red-and-gold arrangements with peonies, lilies, or roses work universally across Vietnamese families. Orchid-based designs suit professional contacts or younger recipients valuing modern aesthetics. Mixed local and imported blooms (such as red roses with golden chrysanthemums) balance freshness with symbolic meaning. Avoid all-white or all-black arrangements, which carry funeral connotations. Browse our Tet flower collections to see design styles; we photograph each real bouquet before delivery so you see exactly what your recipient receives—no stock images.
How do time zones affect delivery speed from Sweden?
Sweden operates UTC+1 (winter) or UTC+2 (summer); Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City are UTC+7 year-round. Your morning order (7–9 a.m. Swedish time) typically arrives the same calendar day in Vietnam if placed before 2 p.m. Swedish time, or next working day if sent after. Tet week (late January or early February) runs at slower pace due to holiday closures; orders placed more than 7–10 days before the lunar new year date reach safely, while orders in the final 3–4 days risk delays. Check the exact Tet date each year and order 1–2 weeks early to avoid disappointment.
What payment and confirmation process should I expect?
You place the order on WhatsApp (+84 969 293 894) in English, specifying recipient name, address, city (Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City only), phone number, message, and design preference. We send an invoice for international card payment or bank transfer details. Once paid, we prepare the bouquet and photograph it in real time—you receive the photo before our courier delivers. The recipient gets the flowers with your card message in Vietnamese (translated by us if needed). No surprises, no pre-made stock photos, no hidden fees.

What addresses and phone formats do I need for Vietnam?
Vietnamese addresses follow a strict order: house number, street name, ward (phường), district (quận or huyện), city (Hà Nội or Thành phố Hồ Chí Minh). Example: "123 Nguyễn Huệ, Phường Bến Nghé, Quận 1, Thành phố Hồ Chí Minh." Phone numbers start with +84 (country code) followed by 9 digits; do not include leading zeros. Incomplete or informal addresses (like "near the big temple") cause failed deliveries. Provide the exact street address and full phone number with country code; if uncertain, contact us on WhatsApp with a map pin or building name.
What are the main mistakes when ordering Tet flowers from overseas?
Ordering too close to Tet week. Demand peaks; couriers and florists work reduced hours. Order 10+ days before.
Wrong city. We deliver only Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. Confirm city before payment.
Incomplete address. Missing street, ward, or district names cause returns. Double-check with your recipient.
Forgetting time zones. Placing an order at 11 p.m. Swedish time may delay arrival to next day. Daytime orders are safer.
Not requesting a card message in Vietnamese. A translated message feels more personal and shows respect; we translate for free.
Choosing white-only or black flowers. These signal mourning in Vietnamese culture. Stick to red, gold, pink, or mixed auspicious colors.
| Design Type | Who It Suits | Why It Works | Tet Symbolism |
|---|---|---|---|
| Red roses + gold chrysanthemums | Parents, elders, business contacts | Bold luck-and-wealth message | Gold = prosperity, red = protection |
| Peonies + lilies mixed | Wives, partners, close family | Lush, romantic, honorable | Peonies = wealth & honor |
| Orchid-focused arrangements | Younger recipients, professionals | Modern, elegant, long-lasting | Orchids = strength & refinement |
| Imported roses + local foliage | Those valuing quality over quantity | Freshness + local authenticity blend | Roses = deep respect & admiration |
Before you order, check these three things
- Recipient's exact address and phone. Get a screenshot or text confirmation; incomplete details halt delivery.
- Your card message (if any). Decide if you want it in Vietnamese (we translate) or English; both are acceptable.
- Delivery city. If the recipient lives outside Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City, we cannot serve that location—plan alternatives.
How sending from abroad works

How do I know the flowers will be fresh when they arrive?
We source from local growers in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City and import select blooms (roses, premium lilies) weekly. Bouquets are assembled 24 hours before delivery and kept in cool storage. You receive a photo of the finished bouquet before courier pickup, so you verify freshness firsthand. Our flower delivery in Hanoi and flower delivery in Ho Chi Minh City networks include temperature-controlled storage and same-day pickup schedules to ensure quality.
Can I add gifts or cards to a Tet flower order?
Yes. Many customers pair Tet flowers with flowers and gifts bundles—chocolates, tea, dried fruit, or small decorative items appropriate to the season. Card messages in Vietnamese or English are always included free. We do not recommend adding perishable food items (cakes, fresh fruit) with cut flowers due to moisture; if you want both, order them as separate deliveries. Ask us on WhatsApp what gifts pair well with your chosen flower design.
Should I order different designs for Hanoi vs. Ho Chi Minh City recipients?
No—Tet symbolism is consistent across both cities. Red, gold, peonies, lilies, and orchids carry the same meanings in Hanoi's traditional culture and Ho Chi Minh City's modern mix. However, younger urban recipients in Ho Chi Minh City may appreciate modern orchid or minimalist designs, while older family members in either city tend to prefer fuller, more colorful traditional arrangements. Ask your recipient's age, taste, or family tradition when choosing; we can recommend the best fit.

What if I want to send flowers to multiple family members in Vietnam?
You can place separate orders for different recipients in Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City on the same WhatsApp chat; each receives a photo confirmation and a personalized card message. Bulk discounts or combined invoicing may apply—ask us for a quote on multi-recipient orders. This works especially well for Tet when you want to honor parents, siblings, and in-laws with designs suited to each relationship.
How far in advance should I order Tet flowers from Sweden?
10–14 days before Tet is ideal. This avoids courier backlog, ensures your preferred design is available, and gives us time for international payment processing. 7–10 days is acceptable if you order early in the week (Monday–Wednesday). 3–7 days carries moderate delay risk; couriers may not pick up until after Tet officially begins. 1–3 days risks failure unless the recipient is in central Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City with 24-hour pickup available. Plan orders in late December (for January/February Tet) or check the lunar calendar.
Does Vietnam Flower Delivery by Hoa Lang Thang send to other Vietnamese cities?
No. We deliver only in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. Contact us on WhatsApp to confirm the recipient's exact city before ordering; if it is outside our service area, we will tell you plainly and suggest local alternatives if we can.

FAQ
Can I pay from my Swedish bank account directly?
Yes. We accept international bank transfers and international credit cards (Visa, Mastercard). Send us your recipient's details and preferred design on WhatsApp; we provide payment instructions. Transfers typically clear within 2–3 business days.
What if the recipient's phone number is wrong or they don't answer?
Our couriers will attempt delivery multiple times. Provide a correct landline or mobile number in +84 format. If the recipient is unreachable, we hold the flowers in cool storage and contact you on WhatsApp for an alternative time or address within 24 hours.
Can I order the same design for multiple years, or must I choose a new one each Tet?
You can order the same design each year, or choose a new one—both are fine. We do not store recurring order templates; contact us each Tet season with your preferences.
Is a card message necessary, or can I just send flowers?
A message is optional. Many senders include a card; we translate it to Vietnamese for free if needed. Flowers alone are also appropriate and often welcome.
What happens if Tet falls on a Sunday or public holiday?
We coordinate with couriers to deliver during Tet week; the exact day may shift, but delivery occurs within your requested date range. Confirm timing expectations on WhatsApp when ordering near holiday dates.
Can I include fresh fruit or chocolate with Tet flowers?
Fresh fruit is risky with cut flowers (moisture damage). Chocolates and dried fruit work better in gift bundles. Ask us which items pair well with your chosen bouquet.
