How to Send Flowers to Sweden from Russia or Anywhere Else

You can send flowers to Sweden with Turboflora: we deliver to Stockholm, Sollentuna and Haninge. Choose a bouquet on our Sweden delivery page, enter the address and the card text, and pay online in rubles; the price shown is already converted and already includes delivery.

That is the short answer. The longer one is about getting it right: which occasions Swedes mark with flowers, what they consider tasteful, how to time a delivery across borders and time zones, and how to write a card that reads well to a Swedish or Russian-speaking recipient. Here is what we tell customers who ask us the same question.

Where in Sweden we deliver and how ordering works

Our delivery in Sweden covers three cities: Stockholm itself, Sollentuna to the north and Haninge to the south-east. If your recipient lives in one of them, you order exactly as you would for a city in Russia. Open the Sweden page, pick a bouquet, fill in the address and the card text, and pay.

Payment is online in rubles by bank card, SBP or Yandex Pay. The amount you see on the Sweden page is the final figure for that bouquet with delivery to that country, so there is no separate courier fee to calculate. The 500 RUB city delivery and our express and time-window options apply to Russian cities, not to Sweden, so plan a little ahead.

Sweden is one of 54 countries on our list, with more than 1660 cities in total. If you also have people in Finland, Germany or the UK, the full list is on the flower delivery abroad page. It is in Russian, but country names are easy to find.

If something about the order is unclear, write to our manager on WhatsApp. They can help you choose a bouquet, agree the delivery date and address, and check your card text before it is printed.

Swedish occasions worth sending flowers for

Swedes give flowers more casually than many people expect. A small bouquet is a normal thing to bring when you are invited for dinner, and a tulip bunch from the market is an everyday treat from January to April. A delivered bouquet, though, still reads as a proper gesture.

Birthdays are the obvious occasion, and so are name days. The Swedish calendar assigns names to dates, and many families still mark namnsdag with a cake or a few flowers. If your friend Anna or Karl has a name day coming up, a bouquet that day shows you know the culture, not just the birthday.

Mother's Day in Sweden falls on the last Sunday of May, later than in many countries, so check the date before you order. June is graduation season, when school-leavers in white caps are greeted by family with flowers. December 13 is Lucia, a candlelit morning that suits a winter bouquet of white flowers, and the weeks before Christmas are popular for amaryllis and hyacinths.

For a Russian-speaking family in Stockholm, the Russian dates still count. March 8, Women's Day, is something many expect to be remembered, and it is rarely marked by Swedes, so a bouquet that day feels personal.

What Swedes find tasteful in a bouquet

Swedish taste leans towards the natural. Loose, airy arrangements with seasonal flowers, greenery and soft colours tend to land better than tightly packed formal bouquets. White, cream, pale pink and blush tones match the light interiors you find in most Swedish homes.

Tulips are the national favourite in winter and spring. Peonies have their short moment in early summer. In late summer and autumn, garden-style bouquets with roses, chrysanthemums and some textured greenery feel right. You do not have to follow the season, but a bouquet that does tends to look more thoughtful.

Russian rules about odd numbers do not apply in Sweden. Nobody counts stems there, so an even bouquet is no faux pas. If your recipient is from a Russian family, however, they may still notice, and it costs nothing to choose an odd number for a happy occasion.

For funerals and remembrance, Swedes generally choose white flowers, often lilies or roses, and a restrained arrangement. Bright mixed colours are kept for celebrations.

Timing a delivery to Sweden

Stockholm is two hours behind Moscow in winter and one hour behind in summer, when Sweden moves its clocks forward and Moscow does not. If you plan a delivery for a morning birthday, keep the difference in mind when you read the clock in your own city.

Because the express and fixed-time options belong to our Russian service, the safest approach for Sweden is to order a few days before the date. That gives room to confirm the address and the card text calmly. For fixed dates such as Mother's Day in May or Lucia in December, ordering early also means you are not choosing from what is left.

Weekends and holidays are when people are most likely to be home, which helps. For a weekday delivery to an office, add the company name and the floor, and make sure the recipient's phone number is in the order so the courier can reach them.

Writing the address and the card

Swedish addresses are short: street name and number, sometimes a letter for the entrance, a five-digit postcode and the town. Apartments are often marked with a four-digit lagenhetsnummer, the flat number, and many buildings have a door code. Ask your recipient for the street, house, flat number, door code and phone number, and you have everything a courier needs.

Spelling matters. Swedish street names contain letters such as a-ring and o-umlaut, and Sollentuna or Haninge addresses can look similar to Stockholm ones. Copy the address exactly as the recipient sends it, including the postcode, rather than retyping it from memory.

The card can be in any language you like. If the recipient reads Russian but the household is Swedish, a short line in both languages is a nice touch. Keep it to three or four sentences; a card is read in a few seconds, and a warm, specific line stays in memory longer than a long paragraph.

Finally, tell your recipient that flowers are on the way only if you want to. Many senders prefer a surprise, and a courier at the door with a bouquet from abroad is a memorable moment either way.

Helping the bouquet last in a Swedish home

Swedish flats are warm in winter and bright in summer, which is pleasant for people and hard on cut flowers. Suggest that the recipient keeps the vase away from radiators, underfloor-heated corners and direct sun on the windowsill.

The basic care routine is the same everywhere: cut two or three centimetres off the stems at an angle, strip leaves below the waterline, use a clean vase and fresh cool water, and change it every two days. Tulips keep growing in the vase and bend towards the light, so turning the vase once a day keeps them upright and even.

If you are sending flowers the other way, from Sweden to family in Russia, we have a separate guide on sending flowers to Russia from Sweden with the payment and timing details for that direction. We deliver bouquets across Russia in 1–2 hours.
