An International Florist for Flowers to Russia and Abroad
An international florist helps you send flowers to someone in another country, with the bouquet chosen for the destination and occasion. At Pyat Tsvetov (5 Flowers), we deliver across Russia and abroad to 39 countries and more than 990 cities. To place an order, choose flowers for the recipient’s destination, provide the delivery details and card message, then check the payment options available through CloudPayments at checkout.
Customers in our Saint Petersburg shops often need help with the same decisions: choosing an appropriate bouquet, getting the date right across time zones and making the sender clear on the card. We have been working since 2011 and have three own flower shops in Saint Petersburg. When you are ordering from abroad, those practical details deserve as much attention as the flower choice: a suitable bouquet needs a clear address, a reachable recipient and a message that makes sense when it arrives.
Choose the destination before choosing the bouquet
Start with where the flowers are going, rather than where you are paying from. A customer in Britain sending flowers to Saint Petersburg needs delivery in Russia; a customer in Russia sending to Spain needs the relevant overseas destination page. For Russian destinations, browse the bouquets catalogue and check the delivery information for your order. Keep the recipient’s city visible in your planning, especially when several places have similar names.
For deliveries outside Russia, open Flower delivery abroad, where all available countries and cities are listed; this page is in Russian. Our overseas coverage includes the USA, United Kingdom, Vietnam, Turkey, Spain, France, Kazakhstan and Belarus. Choose a bouquet on the country or city page, enter the address and card text, and pay online in rubles. The displayed overseas price is already converted to rubles and includes delivery, so the Russian city delivery fee should not be added to it.
Match the flowers to the person and the occasion
Begin with the recipient’s preferences: colours they wear, flowers they have mentioned or the style of their home can be more useful than a list of symbolic meanings. A compact bouquet can be easier to place on a crowded desk, while a larger arrangement needs more room and a suitable container. For a shared office, consider whether strong fragrance would be welcome. If you know the recipient dislikes a particular flower, use that knowledge before choosing by appearance alone.
In Russia, an odd number of flowers is customary for celebratory gifts when the stems are clearly counted; even numbers are traditionally associated with mourning. This is particularly useful to remember when selecting a small bouquet of one flower type. Red roses commonly suggest romance, so another colour or a mixed bouquet can make the intention clearer for a colleague or relative. Treat these conventions as context, and let the relationship and recipient’s taste guide the final choice.
Bouquets we can deliver
Plan delivery around the recipient’s day
Write down the intended arrival date and time in the recipient’s city before placing the order. A birthday at home, an office celebration and a visit to someone who works shifts each call for different timing. Ask for the full address, including the flat or office number and any entrance details that help identify the destination. Check that the recipient’s phone number is accurate: the courier calls about 15 minutes before arrival, which is worth considering when planning a surprise.
For Russian cities, delivery costs 500 RUB; the operator confirms the price for remote districts and suburbs when confirming the order. In large cities, express delivery is available in 1–2 hours after confirmation, or delivery can be arranged at an exact time with a tolerance of plus or minus 30 minutes. Other options are the windows 09–12, 12–15, 15–18 and 18–21, or ordering 1–30 days ahead; Saint Petersburg delivery is around the clock. These timing conditions apply to Russia, so check the destination information for an overseas order rather than assuming the same schedule.
Use the card to make the gesture clear
Our delivery is anonymous by default: the courier does not name the sender, and a card with your text is free. If you want the recipient to know who sent the flowers, sign the message with a name they will recognise. For a family gift, include everyone’s names rather than relying on the recipient to guess. For a business greeting, a personal name and company name can explain the connection without turning the card into a formal letter.
Keep the wording specific and easy to understand at first reading. A birthday message might say, “Happy birthday, Lena. Wishing you a lovely day—we’re thinking of you. Love, Anna and Max.” For condolences, a brief expression of sympathy is usually more considerate than an elaborate explanation. Use the language the recipient reads most comfortably, check the spelling of names and avoid private details if the card may be opened at work.
Check the order and payment details carefully
Before paying, review the destination, delivery date, recipient’s phone number, full address and card text together. Keep the recipient’s contact details distinct from your own so the arrival call reaches the right person. Online checkout uses CloudPayments; check the options displayed there rather than assuming every foreign card will be accepted. Our delivery and payment information is a useful reference while preparing an order to Russia, and questions can be directed to 8 (812) 507-67-05.
If the recipient is absent, we agree a second delivery the same day or hand the flowers to a neighbour or concierge with the sender’s consent. Think through which option would suit the recipient, particularly in a workplace or a building where neighbours do not know one another. Passing flowers to someone else works best when the recipient can identify that person and collect them conveniently. A clear address and usable contact number help resolve these practical decisions without relying on guesswork.
Help the recipient enjoy the flowers for longer
Once the flowers arrive, a clean vase and fresh water are the first priorities. Remove any leaves that would sit below the waterline, then recut the stem ends with a clean, sharp tool before placing them in water. If flower food comes with the bouquet, follow its instructions rather than estimating a stronger mixture. Check the water daily, refresh it regularly and wash the vase when changing the water so debris does not accumulate around the stems.
Choose a place away from radiators, direct sunlight and ripening fruit, and avoid leaving the bouquet in its transport wrapping if that prevents it from sitting properly in a vase. Different flowers open and age at different rates, so remove fading stems as needed and rearrange the remaining ones. For someone receiving flowers at work, a short reminder to take them home with access to water can be more useful than a long care message on the gift card. Our guide to keeping cut flowers fresh explains a practical care routine the recipient can follow.
