Christmas Flowers to Romania from Abroad: Order Deadlines
If you want to send Christmas flowers to Romania from abroad, place your order by Wednesday, December 23, 2026 at the latest, so a local florist can deliver on Thursday, December 24. FlowersRomania delivers next day, Monday to Saturday, but never on Sundays or on Christmas Day itself, so the holiday break affects your timing. Ordering by Monday, December 21 gives you a safer margin.
When is the last day to order flowers for Christmas in Romania?
Orders must be placed before midnight Romania time to be scheduled for next-day delivery. In winter, Romania is seven hours ahead of US Eastern time, so midnight in Romania is 5 p.m. Eastern on the same calendar day. For a Christmas delivery on Thursday, December 24, the last order day is Wednesday, December 23.
Two to three days ahead is the safer plan for any holiday date, which points to Monday, December 21.
| Date (2026) | What it means for your order | Order before midnight Romania time |
|---|---|---|
| Monday, December 21 | Recommended order day, 2 to 3 days ahead | Monday, December 21 |
| Wednesday, December 23 | Last order day for next-day delivery | Wednesday, December 23 |
| Thursday, December 24 | Last delivery day before the holiday | Order on December 23 |
| Friday, December 25 | Christmas Day, no deliveries | Not possible for this date |
| Monday, December 28 | Earliest likely delivery for orders placed December 24 to 26 | Plan for this if you order late |
How does next-day delivery work around the December 25 holiday?
Next-day delivery runs Monday to Saturday across Romania, and same-day delivery is not offered. December 25 is a main public holiday, so the service does not deliver that day. December 26 is also a public holiday in Romania, and there are no Sunday deliveries, so an order placed on December 24 or later will not arrive before Monday, December 28.
You can write a preferred delivery time in the instructions. The florist tries to meet it, but exact time slots are not guaranteed, so do not plan a timed moment around the delivery.
What flowers and plants work well for a Christmas gift in Romania?
A potted plant or a structured arrangement often suits a holiday table better than loose cut flowers, because it can sit ready to display with no fuss. A few options from the catalog work well for Christmas:
- A centerpiece for the table: the Citrus Glow Centerpiece is priced at USD 91.99, a good choice for a family dinner table.
- A larger rose gift: the Iridescent Rose Luxe is priced at USD 137.99 for a bigger gesture.
- Add-ons: a box of chocolates, a wine bottle, a glass vase, balloons, or a plush teddy bear for a child can go with your order.
Cakes and food hampers are not sold, so keep the gift to flowers, plants and the listed add-ons. Browse the full flowers category to compare sizes and prices.
Should you send flowers to the family home or to a workplace on Christmas?
The family home is usually the better choice. Christmas Eve (Ajunul Crăciunului) is a family evening in many Romanian homes, so flowers delivered there are more likely to be seen and enjoyed on the day. Include a phone number so the florist can reach the recipient if the address is hard to find.
A workplace can work if you know the office will be open and staff will be present on December 24. Many people leave early before the holiday, so confirm this first. If your relative lives in Cluj-Napoca or the capital, check the Bucharest page for coverage details, since delivery covers all of Romania.
How do you write the card and delivery instructions for a holiday order?
Every order includes a free printed card, so keep the message short and warm. Simple greetings work well, such as "Crăciun fericit!" (Merry Christmas) or "Sărbători fericite!" (Happy holidays). Sign with your name and how you are related, and write in Romanian if the recipient reads it best, or in English if they do not.
For delivery instructions, include the full address with Romanian accents (ă, â, î, ș, ț) so the florist can find it quickly. Add the building entrance, floor, apartment number and buzzer name, the preferred time, and whether someone will be home on December 24. Keep the phone number active on delivery day.
How do you pay and confirm the order from abroad?
Pay with an international Visa, Mastercard or American Express card through Stripe, or with PayPal. Orders are accepted from any country. The order is charged in USD, and EUR and RON are shown for reference only. Bouquets start at USD 63.24, plus a flat USD 14.95 delivery fee.
Before you pay, check the recipient name, full address, phone number and card message. The florist uses these details to coordinate the delivery, so a typo or missing number can cause a delay during the holiday rush.
To order, go to flowersromania.com, choose an arrangement from the catalog, and enter the details above. For a December 24 delivery, order by December 23 at the latest, and earlier if you want a safety margin. For more background, read how to send flowers to Romania from abroad.
