How to Send Flowers to Colombia from Abroad
You can send flowers to Colombia from abroad by ordering online, paying in USD, and entering the recipient’s Colombian address and phone number. FlowersColombia arranges hand delivery through a local Colombian florist, with next-day delivery nationwide and same-day delivery in major cities when you order early.
This is the simplest option for expats, relatives, and friends in the USA, UK, Canada, Spain, and elsewhere who want flower delivery Colombia without calling a shop in Spanish or sending money locally.
Can you send flowers to Colombia from another country?
Yes. You can order flowers for Colombia from another country as long as you have the recipient’s name, full address, and phone number. On FlowersColombia, payment is charged in USD by card or PayPal, with EUR and COP shown for reference.
The order is not shipped internationally in a box. A local florist in Colombia prepares the bouquet, plant, or gift and hand-delivers it to the address you provide. That matters because fresh flowers are perishable, and local delivery is usually more practical than sending flowers across borders.
Coverage is nationwide, including Bogotá, Medellín, Cali, Barranquilla, Cartagena, Bucaramanga, Pereira, Santa Marta, and more Colombian cities. If your recipient is in the capital, you can check options for flower delivery in Bogotá. For other major cities, there are also pages for Medellín flower delivery and Cali flower delivery.
If you are trying to send flowers to Colombia from the USA, the process is the same as ordering from the UK, Canada, Europe, or anywhere else. Choose the arrangement online, write the card message, pay online, and the Colombian florist handles delivery locally.
How do you send flowers to Colombia from abroad, step by step?
Start by choosing the type of gift you want to send. For birthdays, thank-you gifts, romance, anniversaries, and family occasions, browse the main flowers collection. If the occasion is more serious, choose from sympathy flowers instead of a bright celebration bouquet.
Next, pick the arrangement. FlowersColombia has 152 bouquets, plants, and gifts. Some people choose a classic vase arrangement for home delivery. Others prefer a plant, especially when the recipient may want something longer-lasting, such as the Modern Soleil Planter.
Then enter the delivery information carefully. Use the recipient’s full name, full Colombian address, city, and phone number. Apartment, tower, office, building name, neighborhood, and any access instructions can help the florist deliver without delays.
After that, add your message. Every order includes a free printed card message, which is useful when you are sending from abroad and cannot be there in person. Keep the note personal and clear. A few lines in English are fine if that is your shared language, but Spanish can feel warmer for parents, grandparents, and older relatives.
Finally, pay online. FlowersColombia accepts cards through Stripe and PayPal. Prices are charged in USD, with EUR and COP shown for reference, so you do not need a Colombian bank account.
How long does flower delivery Colombia take?
FlowersColombia offers next-day delivery across Colombia. Same-day delivery is available in major cities such as Bogotá, Medellín, and Cali when the order is placed early.
For normal birthdays, thank-you flowers, get-well flowers, or surprise gifts, ordering one day ahead is usually the safest choice. For major flower dates in Colombia, order at least 2 to 3 days ahead. Florists are busier, recipient schedules are more complicated, and apartment or office deliveries may take extra coordination.
Here are the main upcoming flower dates listed by FlowersColombia:
| Occasion | Date | What to send | When to order |
|---|---|---|---|
| Día de las Velitas (Little Candles Day) | December 7, 2026 | Warm mixed flowers, festive centerpieces | At least 2 to 3 days ahead |
| Christmas | December 25, 2026 | Centerpieces, roses, seasonal mixed flowers | At least 2 to 3 days ahead |
| Valentine’s Day | February 14, 2027 | Red roses, romantic bouquets | At least 2 to 3 days ahead |
| Día de la Mujer (Women’s Day) | March 8, 2027 | Elegant mixed flowers, roses, plants | At least 2 to 3 days ahead |
| Día de la Madre (Mother’s Day) | May 9, 2027 | Pastels, roses, lilies, vase arrangements | At least 2 to 3 days ahead |
| Amor y Amistad (Love and Friendship Day) | September 18, 2027 | Romantic roses or cheerful friendship flowers | At least 2 to 3 days ahead |
Amor y Amistad is especially important in Colombia. It is not just for couples. People also send gifts to friends, relatives, coworkers, and close family members, so the best flower choice depends on the relationship.
How much does it cost to send flowers to Colombia?
On FlowersColombia, bouquets, plants, and gifts range from USD 49.49 to USD 134.99, plus a flat delivery fee of USD 14.95. The lowest bouquet price listed is USD 49.49, and the final total depends on the product and any add-ons you choose.
Add-ons can include chocolates, a vase, teddy bear, card, balloons, or wine. These are useful when the delivery is for a birthday, anniversary, new baby, graduation, or a romantic surprise. For sympathy, keep add-ons simple and restrained.
A product page will show the current item price before checkout. For example, the Blushing Petals Art Glass is one option for a soft, polished gift, while larger or more elaborate designs may cost more.
Because the site charges in USD, it is convenient for customers abroad. EUR and COP are shown for reference, but USD is the charged currency.
What flowers are appropriate in Colombia, and which should you avoid?
For romance, red roses are the safest classic choice. They are appropriate for anniversaries, Valentine’s Day, and Amor y Amistad when the relationship is romantic. If the relationship is not romantic, avoid a dozen red roses unless you want to send a clear love message.
For mothers, aunts, grandmothers, sisters, and close family, mixed bouquets in pink, lavender, white, peach, or warm bright colors work well. These feel affectionate without being too romantic. A vase arrangement is practical if the recipient may not have a vase ready.
For birthdays and congratulations, bright mixed flowers are appropriate. Add balloons, chocolates, or a teddy bear if the tone is cheerful and personal. If the recipient is in a formal workplace, a more elegant bouquet may be better than a playful gift.
For Día de la Mujer, flowers are commonly sent with a respectful message of appreciation. Choose elegant mixed flowers, roses, or a plant. Keep the card sincere, especially for colleagues or professional contacts.
For sympathy or condolences, choose white flowers or restrained arrangements. Avoid balloons, bright birthday colors, romantic red roses, or humorous messages. If you are unsure what to say, a simple Spanish message such as “Con nuestras más sinceras condolencias” is appropriate.
For Día de las Velitas and Christmas, warm, festive flowers or centerpieces can fit the season. These are family-centered dates in Colombia, so a message to the household can feel natural if you know the family well.
What details do you need from the recipient?
You need the recipient’s full name, full street address, city, and phone number. The phone number is important because the florist may need to coordinate delivery, confirm someone is available, or clarify building access.
For apartments and gated buildings, include the apartment number, tower, building name, neighborhood, and any instructions for the doorman or reception desk. In offices, include the company name, floor, department, and the recipient’s work phone if you have it.
Use Colombian spelling and accents if you know them, especially for city and neighborhood names. Bogotá, Medellín, and other place names should be entered as clearly as possible. If you are copying an address from WhatsApp or an email, check that it includes the city, since street formats can repeat in different places.
Add a local contact number if the recipient is likely to be unavailable. This can be useful for surprise deliveries, but the main recipient phone number is still the best option when possible.
Keep the card message short enough to print neatly. A good message says who the flowers are from, why you are sending them, and a warm closing. For example: “Feliz cumpleaños, mamá. Te queremos mucho y te mandamos un abrazo enorme desde Miami.”
To order, choose an arrangement on FlowersColombia, enter the Colombian delivery details, add your free printed card message, and pay online in USD by card or PayPal. You can start with the main flower delivery Colombia catalog and send fresh flowers through a local Colombian florist.
