How do I order flowers from Singapore to Vietnam?
Order via WhatsApp, email, or our website. Tell us the recipient's name, address, delivery date, occasion, and any card message in Vietnamese, English, Japanese, or Korean. We'll send you a photo of the exact bouquet before it ships. No guessing—you see what your money buys.

Most Singaporeans place orders 2–7 days ahead, though we accept rush requests (add 24 hours for photo confirmation). Payment is via bank transfer to our Vietnam account or PayPal if available. We confirm receipt, prepare the bouquet, photograph it, and deliver it the same day or on your chosen date.
Ordering directly from us is faster than marketplace platforms—no middleman markup, no generic catalog photos. You get a studio florist, not a warehouse.
What flowers survive Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City heat?
Hoa Lang Thang specializes in heat-tolerant imported varieties: Ecuador roses (waxier petals, last 7–10 days), Dutch tulips (closed buds, open over 5 days), peonies (thick petals, 8–12 days), and hydrangeas (stay firm, absorb water quickly). Local tropical flowers—sunflowers, gerberas—fade faster in 30°C+ heat but are cheaper.
Your choice depends on occasion and budget. Funerals and anniversaries often call for longer-lasting imported stock; casual birthdays work fine with local tropicals. We advise you honestly: if it's Tet, order 2–3 weeks ahead because demand spikes and imported flowers sell out.
In summer (May–September), bouquets lose 1–2 days of lifespan indoors without air conditioning. We pack stems in floral foam and wrap the box in insulation. For Ho Chi Minh City heat, order vased arrangements, not hand-tied bouquets—they hydrate longer.
What does it cost to send flowers from Singapore to Vietnam?
| Gift Type | Who It's For | Lifespan | Why It Works |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ecuador roses (mixed color vase) | Anniversary, apology, romantic occasions | 7–10 days | Imported, high-impact, Tet/wedding standard |
| Dutch tulips (single/mixed) | Birthdays, casual celebration, spring feel | 5–7 days | Unique in Vietnam, elegant, long stems |
| Peonies (mixed arrangement) | Luxury occasions, proposal, premium gifting | 8–12 days | Expensive, rare, statement piece |
| Hydrangea (pastel vase) | Sympathy, general admiration, offices | 8–10 days | Professional, calming, heat-stable |
| Sunflower/gerbera mix (local) | Birthday, cheerful, budget-conscious | 4–6 days | Colorful, affordable, immediate impact |
Prices vary by season and size. Imported bouquets cost more but last longer and carry prestige in Vietnam. Local mixes are 30–40% cheaper but fade faster in heat. Tet, Valentine's, and Lunar New Year see price increases of 20–30%.
We don't list exact prices here—they shift weekly—but visit flower prices in Hanoi to see current rates and compare. Delivery to Hanoi is included in 2-hour inner-city service; Ho Chi Minh City is same-day flat rate.
What's the difference between ordering from Singapore vs. a local Vietnam florist?
| Factor | Ordering from Singapore | Local Vietnam Florist |
|---|---|---|
| Language barrier | English/WhatsApp, no hassle | Might not speak English fluently |
| Photo confirmation | Standard—you see bouquet first | Hit-or-miss; depends on florist |
| Imported flowers | Access to Ecuador/Dutch stock | Limited; seasonal availability |
| Price | Transparent, online menu | May inflate if you can't negotiate |
| Timezone | We work 08:00–19:00 Hanoi time; Sg 1 hour behind | Real-time response if local hours align |
| Delivery speed | Inner Hanoi 2 hours; Ho Chi Minh City same-day | Variable; 4–24 hours typical |
| Card message | Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, English | Vietnamese, maybe English |
Ordering internationally from us works because: you control the process, see proof before payment clears, and get imported flowers without tourist markups. Local florists are cheaper if you're in Vietnam and speak Vietnamese—but logistics are messier.
We serve expats, travelers, and overseas Singaporeans sending to family. Our system is built for that use case.
What should I check before ordering flowers to Vietnam?
Before you click "buy," verify these five points:
- Recipient's address is exact. Use Google Maps, ask them to confirm via WhatsApp. "Hanoi" isn't enough—we need district, ward, street number. Ho Chi Minh City addresses must include full postal code.
- Your card message works in the recipient's language. We translate, but a Singaporean sending to a Vietnamese grandmother might want a message in Vietnamese. Ask us; we handle it.
- Delivery date doesn't fall on a major holiday. Tet (late Jan/early Feb), Hung Kings' Festival (Apr), National Day (Sep 2nd)—delivery is possible but slow. Book 2–3 weeks ahead.
- Recipient is reachable on delivery day. We call before arriving (Vietnamese phone or email). If they're unreachable, we may reschedule or leave it with a neighbor (risky). Confirm this upfront.
- Your budget matches the occasion. Funerals and proposals demand premium imported flowers; casual "thinking of you" gifts suit local mixes. Check anniversary flowers or proposal flowers collections if unsure.
Common mistakes we see: unclear addresses (delivery delayed), wrong card message (awkward moment), and ordering the day-of (photo proof takes 2–4 hours). Avoid these by ordering 2–3 days ahead when possible.
Which Singaporean occasions demand imported flowers?
Vietnamese etiquette matters. Read our Vietnamese flower etiquette guide for cultural context, but here's the Singaporean angle:
Tet (Lunar New Year): Imported mixed bouquets or potted kumquat trees with red envelopes. Singaporean expats in Hanoi host Tet gatherings; flowers are expected gifts for hosts. Ecuador roses work; tulips are trendy.
Wedding & Engagement: Peonies or premium rose arrangements signal respect and wealth. For a proposal, a single stem or luxury vase is more intimate than a large bouquet.
Sympathy & Funeral: White or cream flowers only—never red or pink. Sympathy flowers are sent to the funeral service or home. Chrysanthemums are traditional; hydrangeas are modern alternatives.
Business & Grand Opening: Mixed tropical bouquets or opening flowers for a friend's café or office. Bright, cheerful colors signal success. Avoid white (funeral connotation).
Birthday: No strict rules if the recipient is young or Westernized. Imported bouquets or birthday flowers in warm tones (coral, peach, gold) are safe. Avoid yellow (friendship, not love).
Reference our flower delivery to Ho Chi Minh City page if your recipient is in HCMC—same logic, different delivery logistics.
How does Hoa Lang Thang pack flowers for international orders?
We use a four-layer system:
- Floral foam & water tubes. Stems sit in hydrated foam, not bare in paper. Water keeps them alive during delivery.
- Tissue wrap & cellophane. Inner wrap protects petals; outer layer seals moisture.
- Insulation & card. We add a care instruction card (in your chosen language). In summer, we include ice packs for Ho Chi Minh City or outdoor Hanoi events.
- Secure box with airholes. No crushed flowers. Box is labeled "Fragile – Fresh Flowers – Keep Upright."
Photos are taken after wrapping but before boxing. You get a real shot—not stock—of your specific bouquet.
Delivery in Hanoi: our driver calls 30 min before, arrives within 2 hours (order by 19:00). Ho Chi Minh City: same-day by midday if ordered before 09:00.
For hotels or offices, we include a care card telling them to trim stems, refresh water, and keep out of direct sun.

FAQ
Can I order flowers from Singapore and pay after seeing the photo?
Yes. We send you a photo of the finished bouquet before delivery. You approve (or request changes), then process payment via bank transfer or PayPal. No payment until you confirm the bouquet looks good. Typical approval window is 1 hour.
What if the recipient isn't home on delivery day?
We call their number before arriving. If unreachable, we try a neighbor or reschedule. For corporate offices, we coordinate with reception. Provide a backup contact number when ordering to avoid missed deliveries.
Do imported flowers from Singapore cost more than local Hanoi florists?
Not necessarily. Ordering directly from Hoa Lang Thang cuts out middlemen. Online rates are often cheaper than walk-in tourist shops. Compare on our price page—you'll see exact rates and decide if imported (longer-lasting) is worth the cost vs. local options.
How far in advance should I order for Tet?
2–3 weeks minimum. Imported flowers sell out fast; delivery slots fill up. We've turned away last-minute orders during Tet because stock is gone. Valentine's Day and Christmas also see spikes. Book early or accept local mixes.
Can I include a handwritten card or small gift with the bouquet?
Cards yes—we write your message in Vietnamese, English, Japanese, or Korean. Small gifts (jewelry, chocolates, keychains) can travel if boxed with the flowers and under 500g. Ask us first; some items risk damage in transit.
What happens if flowers arrive damaged in Ho Chi Minh City?
Photo proof before delivery means we caught damage before it reached them. If the recipient finds damage after, contact us within 24 hours with a photo. We'll redeliver or refund the bouquet cost. This is rare because our packing is rigorous.
Can I order a monthly flower subscription to Vietnam?
We don't offer recurring subscriptions yet. But you can place individual orders monthly—just tell us dates ahead of time, and we'll lock in availability. Contact us via WhatsApp to set up a schedule.
Same-day delivery in Hanoi (order before 19:00). We send a photo of your actual bouquet before it goes out.
