1
Verify the address you're sending to. International addresses are often arranged differently than US ones, so it's important to make sure you have all the relevant address information. The florist will need an exact address to get your flowers there on time as ordered.

Gather together everything you need before ordering. Have the address written down or even better, in a computer file so you can cut and paste. Know the date of the occasion you're sending flowers for, and have your credit card handy.

Try a local florist network in Sweden. Finding an individual florist in Sweden can be difficult, especially if you don't speak Swedish. Using a florist network with an easy to navigate website can simplify your search, yet still give you personalized service and faster delivery. EuroFlorist offers same day delivery in Sweden and accepts Visa, MasterCard, and American Express. See Resources for all florist links.

Consider an online international florist network based in the US. Flowers Only and 1800Flowers both offer selections of flowers that can be sent to Sweden or elsewhere in the world. Using a locally based network can help with ease of communication, but be aware that prices may be higher. US networks often work with European networks to deliver your flowers and extra fees can be involved.

Work with an international florist network with offices worldwide. These networks offer floral arrangements and gifts that can be delivered to Sweden or other countries around the world. Flora2000 offers a nice variety of fresh flowers with relatively inexpensive prices (compared to other international florists) and has phone, live chat, and email contact options. Fleurop also offers some cheaper options as well as same day delivery if you order early. Remember the time zone differences, as Sweden is several hours ahead of the US.

Be sure you are on the appropriate webpage when you order online. Florist networks often have different selections of flowers depending on what country you're sending to. They may offer local floral options, or use carnations and other hardy blooms that will survive the delivery better. The webpage should show your destination country and the type of currency the prices are listed in.

Select a size. Most online florists will offer the same bouquet but in different sizes. Smaller sizes are generally better when sent to a place of business. You don't want a floral arrangement to overpower their office. Smaller sizes are cheaper, so budget will of course also affect your decision. Buying a bouquet rather than an arrangement in a vase is less expensive, and can allow you to choose a more impressive collection of flowers that the recipient can place in her own vase.

Check your confirmation and order status after you've placed your order. Make sure the confirmation receipt or email has the correct delivery address and matches the amount you expected to pay. Keep track of delivery status online or by emails. Check with the recipient if you haven't heard from them soon after the flowers were delivered. The sooner you know there was a problem with delivery, the sooner you can get it fixed.

Tips & Warnings
Be sure to read the fine print. Always look on the florist websites for specific Sweden delivery information and any extra international charges. Be aware of the time zone difference (Sweden is ahead of the US), as well as Swedish holidays that differ from US holidays.
Plan on sending flowers at least a few days ahead of your recipient's anniversary or birthday. They'll still have the gift of flowers on their special day, but there's also time to work with if there are any mix-ups or late deliveries from the Swedish florist or florist network.
