How to send flowers to Uruguay from abroad, step by step

Start by choosing the type of gift you want to send. The flower catalog includes bouquets, plants and gifts, so you can pick something romantic, cheerful, elegant or understated depending on the occasion.

Then follow these steps:

1. Choose the arrangement. Select a bouquet, plant or gift that fits the message. A soft mixed arrangement works well for family, friends and thank-you gifts. Roses are a clear romantic choice.
2. Select the delivery city and address. Enter the recipient’s full name, complete street address, apartment or unit details if relevant, and city.
3. Add the recipient’s phone number. This helps the local florist coordinate the delivery if they need to confirm access or timing.
4. Write your card message. Every order includes a free printed card message, which is especially useful when sending from another country.
5. Add optional extras if appropriate. Available add-ons include chocolates, a vase, teddy bear, card, balloons and wine.
6. Pay online. FlowersUruguay charges in USD. EUR and GBP are shown for reference, and payment is available by card via Stripe or by PayPal.
7. Check your order details carefully. Names, apartment numbers, phone numbers and delivery dates are the most common details to review before submitting.

If you are sending flowers to Uruguay from USA time zones, remember that your “today” may not line up neatly with business hours in Uruguay. For the best same-day chance in major cities, place the order early rather than waiting until the afternoon or evening in your own country.

How long does flower delivery in Uruguay take?

FlowersUruguay offers next-day delivery nationwide. Same-day delivery is available in major cities such as Montevideo, Salto and Ciudad de la Costa when the order is placed early.

For normal occasions, ordering one day ahead is usually the safest simple rule because next-day delivery is available across Uruguay. For peak flower dates, order at least 2 to 3 days ahead. This is especially important when many families are sending flowers on the same date.

Occasion	Local name and date	Good choice	When to order
Christmas	Navidad, December 25, 2026	Centerpieces, festive flowers, plants	At least 2 to 3 days ahead
Valentine’s Day	Día de los Enamorados, February 14, 2027	Red roses, romantic bouquets	At least 2 to 3 days ahead
Mother’s Day	Día de la Madre, May 9, 2027	Mixed bouquets, roses, plants	At least 2 to 3 days ahead
Birthdays	Cumpleaños, any date	Bright mixed flowers, balloons, chocolates	Next day, or early for same day in major cities
Sympathy	Condolencias, as needed	White or soft-toned flowers	Order as soon as you have the address

For addresses in apartment buildings, gated residences, offices, hospitals or rural areas, the recipient’s phone number is important. It gives the florist a way to coordinate hand delivery if access is not obvious.

How much does it cost to send flowers to Uruguay?

Bouquets on FlowersUruguay range from USD 63.24 to USD 172.49, plus a flat delivery fee of USD 14.95. Prices are charged in USD, with EUR and GBP shown for reference.

The final cost depends on the arrangement and any extras you choose. A simple plant or mixed bouquet is usually the most budget-conscious option. A larger rose design, premium bouquet or arrangement with add-ons will cost more.

For example, Pastel Jubilee Medley is listed at USD 68.99, while Modern Soleil Planter is listed at USD 80.49. If you want a soft purple arrangement, Amethyst Garden Glow is listed at USD 68.99. The flat USD 14.95 delivery fee applies in addition to the product price.

Every order includes a free printed card message, so you do not need to pay extra to include a personal note. Optional add-ons, such as chocolates, a vase, teddy bear, card, balloons or wine, can be added when they fit the occasion.

What flowers are appropriate in Uruguay, and which should you avoid?

For most personal occasions in Uruguay, the safest approach is to match the flowers to the relationship and the message, rather than worrying about a strict national rule.

For romance, roses are the clearest choice. Red roses are best for a partner or spouse, especially for Día de los Enamorados (Valentine’s Day), anniversaries or a romantic apology. If the relationship is not romantic, choose mixed flowers, pink tones, pastels or a plant instead.

For family birthdays and Día de la Madre (Mother’s Day), mixed bouquets, roses in softer colors, lilies, daisies and cheerful seasonal-style arrangements are appropriate. Bright flowers feel warm and celebratory without being too formal.

For sympathy, choose white, cream, soft pink or other subdued tones. Avoid anything that feels playful, such as balloons, teddy bears or bright party styling. A simple card message in Spanish can be short and sincere, for example, “Con mucho cariño en este momento difícil” (With much love at this difficult time).

For business or professional gifts, stay polished and not too romantic. Plants, white flowers, blue and white arrangements, or mixed flowers in a vase are better than a dozen red roses. If you are thanking a host, congratulating a colleague or sending to an office, a neutral design is usually the safer choice.

If you are unsure, avoid overly romantic red arrangements unless the recipient is your partner. Also avoid humor or jokes in the card unless you know the recipient will appreciate them. A warm, simple message is better than one that needs cultural context.

What details do you need from the recipient?

To arrange flower delivery Uruguay-wide, you need the recipient’s full name, full address and phone number. The phone number is not just a formality. It helps the florist coordinate delivery and reduce problems with access, especially in apartment buildings, offices or unfamiliar neighborhoods.

Before placing the order, gather:

• Recipient’s first and last name
• Street address and house number
• Apartment, unit, floor or building details, if any
• City or locality in Uruguay
• Recipient’s phone number
• Preferred delivery date
• Card message
• Sender name, unless you want the message to be anonymous

If sending to a workplace, include the company name, department and any reception instructions. If sending to a hospital, residence or institution, include the room, ward or any details the recipient has given you. If you do not have a complete address, ask someone local before ordering.

For card messages, Spanish is often appreciated, but English is fine if that is your shared language. Keep it natural. “Feliz cumpleaños, te mandamos mucho cariño desde lejos” means “Happy birthday, we send you lots of love from far away.” For Mother’s Day, “Feliz Día de la Madre” is the standard greeting.

When you are ready to order, choose your bouquet on FlowersUruguay, enter the delivery details, add your free printed card message, and pay online by card or PayPal. A local florist in Uruguay will prepare and hand-deliver the flowers to the address you provide.
