How to Send Flowers to Korea From Overseas: A Step-by-Step Guide

Trying to get a bouquet to a friend in Seoul or a condolence wreath to a funeral hall in Busan from another country can feel surprisingly complicated. You usually don't speak Korean, you don't have a local bank account, and you have no idea how Korean flower customs differ from your own. Maybe a coworker has been hospitalized, a college roommate just opened a cafe in Hongdae, or you simply want to mark a birthday on the other side of the planet. This guide walks through the whole process so you know exactly what to expect before you place an order.

Why ordering from abroad is different

Most Korean flower shops are built for domestic buyers. Their checkout pages are Korean-only, and many still rely on real-time bank transfers that an overseas Visa or Mastercard simply can't complete. Even if you machine-translate the page, you can get stuck at the payment screen. The practical workaround is to use an English-language service that handles the local fulfilment for you. One example is flower delivery korea, an English-language florist run by DevTeam Co., Ltd. in Incheon. It lets international customers pay in USD and hands the on-the-ground arranging and delivery to a Korea-based florist network, so the flowers are still made and delivered locally.

Five steps to send flowers to Korea

  1. Pick the occasion first. Birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, and business openings call for bouquets, baskets, or potted plants. Funerals and grand openings in Korea traditionally use tall standing wreaths instead.
  2. Choose a design. Browse from 180+ arrangements, typically priced around US$63–259, and confirm it suits the recipient and the setting.
  3. Mind Korean wreath culture. For a celebration wreath (축하화환) or condolence wreath (근조화환), add a short custom ribbon message—the sender's name on the ribbon is the norm, and you can request a bilingual EN/KR card.
  4. Pay in USD. Checkout runs through PayPal or credit card, so there's no need for a Korean bank account or any Korean-language step.
  5. Get photo confirmation. After the flowers arrive, you receive a delivery photo so you can see the finished arrangement even from the other side of the world.

Timing and delivery

Plan around the recipient's location and the urgency:

  • Same-day delivery is available in major cities such as Seoul and Busan when you order early enough.
  • Next-day morning delivery covers the rest of the country nationwide.
  • Funeral-hall condolence orders are handled quickly, with most orders fulfilled within about 24 hours.

A small tip on time zones: Korea Standard Time is well ahead of the Americas and Europe, so a same-day order you place at night may already be the next day in Korea. When the moment matters, build in a little buffer rather than counting on a last-minute cutoff.
