Are Vases or Containers Included With the Bouquet?

A vase or container should not be assumed to come with your bouquet: confirm what is included with the specific flowers you choose before ordering. If a vessel appears in a photograph, ask whether it is part of the order or simply used to display the bouquet.

That detail matters when you are sending flowers to someone in Russia from abroad. Your recipient may have several suitable vases at home, or they may be receiving the gift at a workplace with nowhere to arrange the stems. Establishing how the flowers will arrive helps you choose a gift that suits the setting and gives the recipient a clear, manageable first step.

Check the selected bouquet, not just its photograph

Read the information attached to the bouquet you are considering, looking for an explicit statement about the vase, box, basket or other vessel. A photograph can show the shape and scale of a display without settling which objects are included. If the written information leaves that point open, ask for clarification before paying.

Make your question specific: “Does this exact bouquet arrive with the container shown, and do the stems need to be transferred into a vase?” These are separate practical points. A decorative outer covering may hold the bouquet together without serving as a permanent water vessel, so knowing what the recipient must do is as useful as knowing what arrives.

You can start with the bouquets catalogue, then contact a manager on WhatsApp to agree the details. Identify the selected bouquet and ask what is included. If a container is essential, establish whether the proposed order meets that need before completing checkout; do not leave it as an assumption based on the image.

Understand the difference between wrapping and a growing arrangement

A hand-tied bouquet is a group of cut stems arranged together, usually intended to stand in water after arrival. Its wrapping provides presentation and helps contain the flowers during handling. Paper, ribbon and a decorative sleeve do not tell you whether there is a water supply underneath, so the recipient should check the base promptly.

Flowers presented in a box or basket may be arranged in a water-holding insert or floral foam. The visible outer container alone does not reveal the construction. Ask how the particular arrangement receives water and whether the flowers should stay where they are. Pulling stems out of a supported design can disturb its shape and make subsequent care harder.

For flowers that are meant to remain in their container, follow the care guidance supplied for that arrangement. Keep any water away from furniture, check for leaks and avoid pouring blindly into decorative packaging. If the design uses floral foam, add water slowly to the foam rather than soaking the flower heads; ask for guidance if you cannot locate it.

Plan for the recipient's space and the occasion

For a gift going to a home, a quick check about vase availability can prevent an awkward scramble after delivery. You do not need to reveal the entire surprise: asking whether there is a clean vase available is enough. If you cannot ask the recipient, consider whether someone in the household can help without disclosing the sender.

At an office, reception desk or temporary address, think about where the flowers will stand and who will care for them. A broad display may occupy a working surface, while a tall vase can interfere with conversation across a table. Tell the manager about the setting so you can discuss whether the selected bouquet's presentation suits it.

For an anniversary, birthday or thank-you gift, convenience can be part of the gesture. If the recipient will be hosting guests, travelling between locations or returning home late, establish when they can put the flowers in water. A container only solves that problem if its inclusion and function have actually been confirmed for the order.

Prepare a suitable vase and care for loose stems

If the bouquet needs a vase, start with one that is clean and stable. The opening should support the stems without squeezing them tightly, and the base should be broad enough for the weight of the flowers. A narrow-necked bottle may suit a few stems but leave a large bouquet crowded and top-heavy; appearance is only one part of choosing well.

Remove the transport wrapping as needed to place the stems securely in water, and take off any leaves that would sit below the waterline. Recut the stem ends with a clean, sharp tool before arranging them. Use flower food according to its packet instructions if it is provided, and keep the bouquet away from direct heat, strong sun and ripening fruit.

Check the water each day, replenish it as needed and clean the vase when you change the water. Remove fading stems so you can inspect the remaining flowers easily. If the bouquet overwhelms the available vessel, dividing it between clean vases can be practical; our guide to splitting a large bouquet into several vases explains the approach.

Coordinate delivery in Russia with the handover in mind

We deliver flowers across Russia. City delivery costs 500 RUB; for remote districts and suburbs, the operator confirms the delivery price when confirming the order. When you agree the destination, include the details needed for the handover and settle the container question at the same time, especially if nobody at the address will have a suitable vase.

Express delivery in large cities is available within 1–2 hours after the order is confirmed. You can also arrange delivery at an exact time with a tolerance of 30 minutes either side, choose a 09–12, 12–15, 15–18 or 18–21 window, or pre-order 1–30 days ahead. Choose a time when the recipient can receive the flowers and attend to them soon afterwards.

The courier calls the recipient about 15 minutes before arrival. If the recipient is absent, we agree a second delivery that day or handover to a neighbour or concierge with the sender's consent. Consider who could safely receive the flowers if plans change, and make sure any agreed handover leaves the recipient able to find and care for the gift.

Confirm presentation, your message and checkout details

Before completing the order, confirm the selected bouquet, what is included in its presentation, the delivery address and the agreed timing. If a vase or container is essential, get a clear answer for that specific order. A useful final check is whether the recipient will need to supply anything immediately, such as a vase, water or space for a larger display.

A manager can help you choose a bouquet, agree the time, address and card text, and arrange a photo of the bouquet before delivery through WhatsApp. Use that conversation to resolve any remaining uncertainty about the presentation. A photo can help you understand the prepared bouquet, while a direct answer establishes whether a particular vessel forms part of the order.

Delivery is anonymous by default: the courier does not name the sender. A card with your text is free, so sign it if you want the recipient to know who sent the flowers. Online checkout uses CloudPayments; check the payment options displayed there, as acceptance of every foreign card is not guaranteed. See delivery and payment for the relevant ordering information.
