How to Send Flowers to Bulgaria from Abroad
Yes, you can send flowers to Bulgaria from abroad by ordering online, paying by card or PayPal, and having a local Bulgarian florist hand deliver the bouquet. FlowersBulgaria delivers across Bulgaria, so you can send to Sofia, Plovdiv, Varna, Burgas, Ruse, Stara Zagora, Pleven, Sliven and other cities without needing to call a shop locally.
The main things to get right are the recipient address, phone number, delivery date, card message and flower choice. Bulgaria has a few simple flower customs that matter, especially the rule about odd and even numbers of stems.
Can you send flowers to Bulgaria from another country?
Yes. You can order international flower delivery to Bulgaria from the USA, the UK, Canada, Spain, elsewhere in Europe or almost anywhere you have internet access.
On FlowersBulgaria, prices are shown in USD, with EUR and GBP shown for reference. Orders are charged in USD, and payment is available by card via Stripe or by PayPal. After you place the order, a local florist in Bulgaria prepares and delivers the flowers to the recipient.
This is the easiest route for expats, relatives abroad and long distance partners because you do not need a Bulgarian bank account or a local contact to arrange the bouquet. You choose from the online catalog, add the delivery details and include a printed card message.
If you are sending to a large city, you can use the city pages for local delivery options, such as flower delivery in Sofia, delivery in Plovdiv or flower delivery in Varna. Coverage is nationwide, so smaller cities and towns are also served.
How to send flowers to Bulgaria from abroad, step by step
Start by choosing the type of flowers you want to send. For birthdays, thank you gifts and everyday surprises, browse the main flowers collection. For a romantic delivery, roses are the clearest choice. For a calm home gift, a plant or soft mixed arrangement may feel more natural.
Then follow these steps:
- Choose the bouquet, plant or gift from the catalog.
- Pick the delivery date available at checkout.
- Enter the recipient name, full address and phone number.
- Write your free printed card message.
- Add optional extras if you want, such as chocolates, a vase, teddy bear, card, balloons or wine.
- Pay in USD by card or PayPal.
- A local florist in Bulgaria prepares and hand delivers the order.
Use the recipient phone number carefully. In Bulgaria, the florist may need it to coordinate delivery, especially for apartment buildings, workplaces, offices, hospitals or addresses where access is controlled.
If you are ordering from the US, check the date carefully because of the time difference. A delivery date that feels like tomorrow to you may already be the next day in Bulgaria.
How long does delivery take and when should you order?
FlowersBulgaria offers next day delivery nationwide. Same day delivery is available in major cities, including Sofia, Plovdiv and Varna, when the order is placed early.
For ordinary birthdays, thank you gifts or congratulations, next day delivery is usually the safest planning choice. For major flower dates, order at least 2 to 3 days ahead when possible, especially if the exact date matters.
| Occasion or need | What to know | When to order |
|---|---|---|
| Standard delivery in Bulgaria | Next day delivery is available nationwide | Order at least 1 day ahead |
| Same day in major cities | Available in major cities when placed early | Order as early as possible |
| Christmas, December 25, 2026 | Popular family gifting date | Order 2 to 3 days ahead |
| Valentine's Day, February 14, 2027 | Red and pink flowers are common | Order 2 to 3 days ahead |
| Mother's Day, May 9, 2027 | Many families abroad send flowers | Order 2 to 3 days ahead |
There are also Bulgarian occasions when flowers are a thoughtful gift. 8 март (International Women’s Day) is widely associated with flowers for women, including mothers, partners, teachers and colleagues. Name days, called имен ден (Name Day), are also important in Bulgaria, and many people treat them almost like birthdays.
If you are unsure whether the person celebrates a specific holiday, keep the card simple. A message like Честит рожден ден (Happy Birthday), Честит имен ден (Happy Name Day) or С обич (With love) is clear and warm.
How much does it cost to send flowers to Bulgaria?
Bouquets, plants and gifts on FlowersBulgaria range from USD 63.24 to USD 172.49, plus a flat delivery fee of USD 14.95. Prices are in USD, with EUR and GBP shown for reference.
The catalog includes 152 bouquets, plants and gifts, so the final cost depends on the product you choose and any add ons. A printed card message is included free with every order.

When comparing flower delivery Bulgaria options, check what is included. The important details are delivery coverage, the card message, the delivery fee, the payment currency and whether a local florist will deliver the flowers in Bulgaria.
What flowers are appropriate in Bulgaria, and which should you avoid?
For happy occasions in Bulgaria, send an odd number of stems. Odd numbers are used for birthdays, romance, congratulations, thank you flowers and most personal celebrations. Even numbers of stems are traditionally associated with funerals, memorials and cemetery visits, so avoid even stem counts for joyful gifts.
Red roses are romantic and are a safe choice for anniversaries, Valentine’s Day and long distance relationships. Pink, peach, lavender and mixed pastel bouquets work well for birthdays, thanks, new baby congratulations and family gifts. White and cream flowers can be elegant, but for sympathy they are often best in a restrained arrangement with a simple message.
For funeral or condolence flowers, choose designs meant for sympathy rather than a bright birthday style. You can browse the sympathy flowers category if the reason for sending is a loss, a memorial or support for a grieving family.
Avoid these mistakes:
- Do not send an even number of stems for a birthday, romance or celebration.
- Do not make a romantic message too vague if the flowers are meant to say I love you.
- Do not choose a very playful add on, such as balloons, for a condolence delivery.
- Do not rely only on an English nickname if the recipient’s building, office or neighbors know them by their Bulgarian name.
For colleagues or older relatives, a tasteful mixed bouquet or planter can feel more appropriate than a strongly romantic rose arrangement. A plant such as Modern Soleil Planter can also be a good choice when you want something longer lasting for the home.
What details do you need from the recipient?
You need the recipient name, full address and a phone number. These details help the local florist coordinate delivery and avoid delays.
For the address, include as much practical information as you have:
- Full name of the recipient
- Street name and building number
- Apartment number, entrance, floor and doorbell name, if relevant
- City or town
- Postal code, if known
- Company, school, hospital or hotel name, if delivering outside a home
- Recipient phone number
- Preferred delivery date
Bulgarian apartment buildings often have multiple entrances, floors and doorbells. If you know the entrance letter, apartment number or intercom name, include it. If the delivery is going to a workplace, include the department or company name.
For the card, write the message the way you want it printed. Keep it short enough to read easily. If you are writing in Bulgarian, check spelling and accents before placing the order. Good simple examples include Честит рожден ден, Обичам те (I love you), Благодаря ти (Thank you) and Мисля за теб (Thinking of you).
To order, choose a bouquet from the FlowersBulgaria flower catalog, enter the Bulgarian delivery address and recipient phone number, add your free printed message, then pay securely in USD by card or PayPal. A local florist in Bulgaria will prepare and deliver the flowers.
