An International Florist for Flowers to Russia and Abroad

An international florist helps you send flowers to someone in another country, with the bouquet, address and delivery arrangements chosen from a distance. Turboflora delivers across Russia and abroad to 39 countries and more than 1020 cities. If you are ordering from overseas, start with the recipient’s destination: it determines which bouquets and delivery conditions apply.

A successful gift depends on more than choosing attractive flowers. You need a bouquet that suits the relationship, a message the recipient will understand and a delivery plan that fits their day. Here is how to make those decisions, including Russian flower etiquette, practical ordering steps and the differences between delivery within Russia and delivery abroad.

Start with the destination and the recipient’s day

Separate where you are ordering from from where the flowers are going. If you live in Canada and send flowers to someone in Russia, the Russian delivery conditions apply. If the recipient is in Canada, use that country’s selection and delivery information. This distinction matters when comparing bouquet prices, delivery charges and timing.

For a Russian address, check the city, street, building and apartment details before placing the order. Include an entrance or access instruction if it will help the courier find the recipient. Use the destination’s local date and time when discussing delivery, especially if you are ordering late in the evening from a different time zone.

Think about where the recipient will be able to receive and keep the flowers. A large bouquet may be awkward during a working day or before a journey. If you are unsure about the address, timing or bouquet choice, contact a manager on WhatsApp to agree the details and arrange a photo of the bouquet before delivery.

Choose flowers by taste, occasion and practical needs

Start with what the recipient enjoys: a favourite colour, a preference for simple arrangements or a love of generous mixed bouquets. These clues are more useful than a rigid list of flower meanings. If you know little about their taste, choose a coherent colour palette and let your card explain why you are sending the gift.

Red roses commonly suggest romance, so consider whether that message fits your relationship. Pink, cream and mixed colours can suit birthdays, thanks or family occasions without making the same strong romantic statement. Meanings vary between people and cultures; a yellow bouquet, for example, should not automatically be read as a message of separation.

Consider scent and space as well as appearance. Strongly scented flowers may be unwelcome on a shared desk or in a small room, while a very broad arrangement needs a suitable place to stand. When browsing the bouquets catalogue, compare the overall shape and listed contents rather than judging a bouquet only by its stem count.

Follow Russian flower etiquette without overthinking it

In Russia, an odd number of flowers is customary for a celebratory gift, while even numbers are traditionally associated with mourning. This is especially relevant when you choose a small, clearly countable bunch of roses or tulips. If you are selecting individual stems, explain the occasion so the intended message is clear.

For a mixed bouquet, do not turn every small branching stem into an arithmetic exercise. The arrangement is usually appreciated as a whole, although the odd-number convention remains useful when the main flowers are easy to count. When uncertain, ask for guidance on the particular bouquet rather than assuming a counting rule applies identically to every design.

Your words also shape how the gift is received. A birthday message can be affectionate and specific; a professional thank-you usually works better with a restrained tone. For sympathy flowers, use a brief, sincere expression of support. Avoid romantic wording for a colleague unless that is genuinely the relationship you intend to acknowledge.

Arrange delivery in Russia around a realistic schedule

City delivery in Russia costs 500 RUB. For remote districts and suburbs, the operator confirms the delivery price when confirming the order. Check which category the destination falls into before treating the city charge as your final delivery cost; an address described informally as part of a city may still need clarification.

In large Russian cities, express delivery is available within 1–2 hours after the order is confirmed. Other options are delivery at an exact time with a tolerance of plus or minus 30 minutes, or a window of 09–12, 12–15, 15–18 or 18–21. You can also pre-order 1–30 days ahead. Count express timing from confirmation, and choose a window that fits the recipient’s plans.

The courier calls the recipient about 15 minutes before arrival, so allow for that contact when planning a surprise. If the recipient is absent, we agree a second delivery the same day or, with the sender’s consent, hand the flowers to a neighbour or concierge. Give clear instructions if either alternative would be unsuitable; further information is on delivery and payment.

Place your order and make the message personal

For delivery in Russia, choose your bouquet, enter the recipient’s address and add the card text. Check the spelling of names and the delivery date before paying, particularly when your own calendar day differs from the recipient’s. Online checkout uses CloudPayments. Check the payment options displayed there; acceptance of every foreign card is not guaranteed.

A card with your text is free. Two or three thoughtful lines are often enough: name the occasion, add something personal and sign it if you want the recipient to know who sent the flowers. A specific memory or a simple wish sounds more natural than a long borrowed quotation. Read the message once as the recipient will see it, without the context of your order.

Delivery is anonymous by default: the courier does not name the sender. That makes your signature on the card important if you want the gift attributed to you. For help choosing flowers or agreeing the time, address and card text, message the manager on WhatsApp. You can also arrange a photo before delivery to see the bouquet before it reaches the recipient.

Send abroad and help the flowers last after arrival

Turboflora also delivers abroad to 39 countries and more than 1020 cities, including destinations in the USA, United Kingdom, Canada, Vietnam, Turkey, Spain, France and Kazakhstan. Check the full destination list on Flower delivery abroad; that page is in Russian. Use the listed country and city pages to establish whether your recipient’s destination is covered.

For an order abroad, choose a bouquet on the country or city page, enter the address and card text, and pay online in rubles. The displayed price is already converted to rubles and includes delivery. The Russian city delivery fee, express timing and delivery windows described above apply to Russian cities; confirm the arrangements for the destination abroad separately.

After arrival, cut flowers benefit from a clean vase, fresh water and stems trimmed with a clean, sharp tool. Remove leaves that would sit below the waterline, then check the water daily and replace it if it becomes cloudy. Keep the bouquet away from direct sun, radiators and ripening fruit. If flower food is supplied, follow its instructions; different flowers have different needs, so avoid promising a fixed vase life.
