Cross-border delivery of birthday flowers may seem like Cupid playing with flowers. The handshake is friendly, the moment is crucial, and the flowers hold the whole message without a single word. Thailand and Vietnam are countries with strong traditions and cultures, and treat flowers as a sign of not only a decoration but also a sign of care, good luck, and warm wishes.

Orchids always work in Thailand. They are loved by the locals because of their beauty and lasting freshness. A bunch of purple orchids says class, and a bunch of white ones inject purity and elegance. To be even whiter, lilies are a better choice, and often tied to good fortune and beginnings–you can even use them in birthdays.

Vietnam is more oriented towards celebrations with roses. A dozen red roses: love, yellow: happiness and friendship, and so the best option to send to relatives or the workplace. Carnations also rank high. Pink carnations specifically are regarded as warm and loving, thus a suitable surprise to mothers/sisters on their birthdays.

Selecting Culturally Sensitive Flowers.

Think beyond color and scent. The chrysanthemums have a more ceremonial tone in Thailand and are commonly associated with respect. That makes them less of a birthday thing. In Vietnam, though, brightly colored chrysanthemums are more desired, particularly gold and orange, since they represent happiness. It is the same actor in a different role on a different stage.

The Real Deal of International Delivery.

Timing is everything. The last thing that people want is flowers that are drying in tradition. It is prudent to rely on the services of local florists who have adjusted to international orders both in Thailand and in Vietnam. It prevents headaches and keeps the bouquet fresh as they are advertised. One tip to keep in mind is that you can stick a little note in the language of the recipient.
