Tet flowers from France: ordering to Vietnam for Lunar New Year

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

If you're sending Tet flowers from France to Vietnam, you'll order on WhatsApp in English, we confirm your recipient's Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City address and phone number, and we deliver real fresh flowers with a photo sent to you before the bouquet arrives. Tet flowers—traditionally red and yellow blooms, lucky plants like kumquat and peach blossoms, and prosperity symbols—suit family reunions, business partners and close friends during Lunar New Year (late January or February, depending on the year). Vietnam Flower Delivery by Hoa Lang Thang serves these two cities only; we do not deliver to other regions. Payment is by international card or bank transfer. Orders take 5–10 days, so plan ahead during Tet rush periods. Ask us for a quote on WhatsApp—pricing depends on design, size and delivery date urgency.

How does ordering Tet flowers from France actually work?

You message us on WhatsApp with a photo of what you want (or describe the style), your recipient's full name, their Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City address, and their mobile number in Vietnamese format (+84 9XX XXX XXX). We reply with a quote. After you pay by international card or bank transfer, we confirm receipt and send you a photo of the real bouquet 24 hours before delivery. Your recipient gets the flowers during your morning (their evening, due to the 6-hour time gap: France is UTC+1, Vietnam UTC+7). The whole cycle—order to photo to delivery—takes 5–10 days, longer during Tet week when florists are busiest.

Why this matters: French senders often expect instant confirmation; Vietnamese Tet tradition values handmade quality and freshness over speed. Planning ahead protects both.

Which Tet flowers and designs do French senders choose most?

Tet symbolism shapes every choice: red (luck, joy), yellow and gold (wealth), and living plants (renewal). Tet flowers & gifts range from hand-tied bunches of roses and chrysanthemums in red and gold tones to potted kumquat trees or peach blossom branches—the latter imported fresh before Tet and highly sought. Lucky bamboo stalks, golden orchids, and vases combining flowers with fake gold leaf coins appeal to business contacts. Family members prefer warmer designs: pink peonies with white lilies, or mixed red roses with eucalyptus.

Decision framework for your order:

  • Family or close friend: Warm reds, pinks, mixed textures (feels personal, not corporate).
  • Business partner or superior: Pure red roses, gold accents, architectural simplicity (respects hierarchy).
  • Elderly parents: Peach blossoms or kumquat plant (deep Tet meaning, long-lasting).
  • Young adult or colleague: Contemporary bunches with greenery (modern but festive).

Ask us for a quote on specific design types—we'll match Vietnamese Tet etiquette to your relationship.

What size and price range suits a Tet bouquet from France?

Small hand-tied bunches (6–8 stems, desktop size) suit office desks or apartment living rooms. Medium arrangements (12–15 stems, vase-ready) work for sideboard or coffee-table display—the most popular choice for family deliveries. Large statement pieces (20+ stems, floor vases, or potted plants) impress business contacts or multi-generational family homes. Longer-lasting potted plants (kumquat, orchids) cost more but stay vibrant through the Tet fortnight. Ask us for a quote on WhatsApp with the size you prefer; we'll match it to the recipient's space and your budget.

What to check before ordering: Ask whether the arrangement includes a vase or water source, especially if your recipient's home is small; potted plants require no vase but need a bright window.

How do time zones and delivery dates affect Tet orders from France?

France is 6 hours behind Vietnam. If you order on Wednesday morning in France, we receive it Wednesday afternoon Hanoi time. Tet week (3–5 days before and after Lunar New Year) sees florist queues; we prioritise orders placed 7–10 days in advance. Your recipient will receive the bouquet during their evening (your morning), convenient for family gatherings or after-work surprise. If you want delivery on Tet day itself (January 29, 2026; January 17, 2027), order at least 10 days prior—last-minute requests may miss the slot. Off-season Tet orders (February or later, after Tet) deliver faster, 5–6 days.

Which Tet flower types compare for long-lasting impact and meaning?

Conclusion: Potted plants outlast cut flowers by weeks, but require care; roses suit formal Tet greetings; mixed bunches balance emotion and tradition.

What happens if your address or phone number is wrong?

Vietnamese mobile numbers follow strict formats: start +84, then 9 or 8, then 7–9 digits (e.g., +84 912 345 678). If a digit is missing or you use a landline code by mistake, our driver cannot reach the recipient and the bouquet may be returned. Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City addresses must include street number, ward/district name, and a landmark (near a café or market helps). If you're unsure of the exact address, ask your recipient to send a Google Maps pin or the name of the nearest big intersection. We verify addresses on WhatsApp before confirming payment—this is your safety net.

To avoid delays: Test your recipient's phone number by calling it yourself first; use their personal mobile, not office or shared lines.

How do card messages in Vietnamese work, and what should you write?

You can send a message in French or English; we translate short greetings into Vietnamese and handwrite them on a card included with the bouquet. Tet messages often follow a formula: "Chúc mừng năm mới" (Happy New Year) + one phrase like "Sức khỏe và hạnh phúc" (Health and happiness) or "Thành công và may mắn" (Success and luck). Business messages are brief and formal; family messages can be longer and emotional. We fit up to 2–3 sentences on a standard card. Give us your message exactly as you want it, or we can suggest Vietnamese wording.

Example: "Happy New Year! Wishing you health, joy, and prosperity in the year ahead." → becomes "Chúc mừng năm mới! Chúc bạn sức khỏe, hạnh phúc, và thịnh vượng trong năm mới."

Which city should you choose: Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City?

We deliver only in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. Hanoi (north, cooler, older architecture) has residents who favour traditional Tet flowers: peach blossoms, kumquats, and classic red roses. Ho Chi Minh City (south, tropical, younger demographic) sees demand for modern mixed arrangements and potted orchids. Delivery timing is the same in both (5–10 days), and pricing is comparable. Ask which city your recipient is in before you order.

If your contact is elsewhere: We recommend you check if a trusted local florist in that city offers delivery, or ask your recipient to collect flowers from a shop themselves.

Practical ordering checklist: what to gather before you message us

  • Recipient's full name (as it appears on their ID or phone contact).
  • City: Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City only.
  • Street address: Number, street name, ward, district. A Google Maps pin is perfect.
  • Mobile phone: In +84 format, personally verified by calling or texting first.
  • Design preference: "Red roses with gold," "peach blossoms," "potted orchid," or a photo you found online.
  • Delivery timeframe: Date you want it (or "Tet week 2026" = late January).
  • Card message: In English or French; we'll translate and handwrite it.
  • Your payment method: Card (Visa, Mastercard) or international bank transfer.

Once you have these, message us on WhatsApp. We'll reply in English within 12–24 hours with a photo of similar recent work, a quote, and next steps.

Related deliveries and occasions beyond Tet

Tet flowers are festive and forward-looking; other Vietnamese occasions suit different blooms. Send flowers to Vietnam year-round for birthdays, Mother's Day (May 8), Women's Day flowers (March 8), and death anniversaries. Flower delivery in Hanoi and flower delivery in Ho Chi Minh City serve celebrations and sorrows alike. If you're ordering for a business grand opening during Tet season, business and opening flowers follow different symbolism (green, white, and brass tones rather than red). Plan 5–10 days for any occasion.

Honest final note: what can go wrong and how to avoid it

Delay risk: Last-minute orders (fewer than 5 days before Tet) may miss the slot. Order early.

Address mistakes: Wrong address or incomplete phone number means undelivered flowers. Verify details with your recipient before sending us the order.

Flower type expectations: Peach blossoms are seasonal and available only Feb–Mar (before Tet); if you order in April, they won't be available. We'll tell you honestly on WhatsApp if your request clashes with Vietnamese growing seasons.

Payment clarity: Ask us for a quote on WhatsApp—never guess. International transfers take 1–2 days to clear; card payments are instant.

Time-zone mishaps: Remember France is 6 hours behind. A Wednesday morning order reaches us Wednesday afternoon. Expect delivery Friday or later, not the same day.

FAQ

Do you deliver Tet flowers to Saigon suburbs or nearby provinces?

We deliver only within Ho Chi Minh City limits and Hanoi limits. Rural areas, Binh Duong, Dong Nai, and other provinces are outside our service zone. We'll tell you plainly if your recipient's address is outside our delivery area.

Ask us for a quote on WhatsApp with your design preference, size, and delivery date. Pricing varies by arrangement complexity, flower rarity, and Tet-week urgency. We quote in your preferred currency via card or bank transfer.

Can I order Tet flowers if I don't know the exact address in Vietnam?

We need a precise street address or a Google Maps pin. If your recipient can send you a location pin or describe a nearby landmark (café, market, hospital), that helps. Without a verifiable address, delivery will fail and the bouquet may be returned.

What if my recipient's phone number is wrong and the driver can't reach them?

The driver tries calling; if unreachable after two attempts, the bouquet is returned. Verify the phone number yourself (call or text them) before you order. Vietnamese numbers must be in +84 format with 9–10 digits after the country code.

Do you ship Tet flowers to France after Tet season ends, or only during Tet?

We only ship from Vietnam to Vietnam. We do not deliver flowers internationally. Our service is for people abroad sending to Vietnam. If you're in Vietnam and want to send flowers to France, you'll need a French florist.

How far in advance should I order Tet flowers for Lunar New Year 2026?

Order at least 7–10 days before Tet (which falls January 29, 2026). Last-minute orders placed within 5 days may not have availability. Tet week is our busiest period; early ordering ensures fresh stock and your preferred delivery date.

Can you write a card message in both French and Vietnamese?

We write one message on the card. If you want a message, give us the text in English or French; we translate and handwrite it in Vietnamese on a card included with the bouquet. We do not create bilingual cards (space and design constraints).

What if the recipient is not home when the flowers arrive?

Our drivers call the recipient's phone number when they arrive. If the recipient is unavailable, the driver may leave the bouquet with a neighbour or building security. We recommend your recipient be home or arrange someone to receive it. Provide a mobile number so the driver can reach them.
