**Sending flowers to Florence from abroad: a guide for families and friends

If someone you love is in Florence — studying, living, or celebrating something important — you can send them flowers directly from wherever you are. You don't need to be in Italy, and you don't need to speak Italian.

How it works

Fiorit is an online flower shop based in Florence. We deliver within the city only, which means every order is prepared fresh and locally. You order from our website, we prepare the flowers and deliver them to the address you provide in Florence. Simple.

The whole process is online. You choose the flowers, enter the recipient's address in Florence, select the delivery date and pay. We send you an order confirmation by email.

What if I'm not sure what to choose?

You can write to us on WhatsApp in English. Tell us the occasion — a graduation, a birthday, a thank you, no particular reason — and something about the person receiving the flowers. We'll suggest what works best and answer any questions you have.

Sending flowers for a graduation in Florence

This is one of the most common requests we receive from abroad. Italian university graduations are celebrated with flowers — especially the laurel crown (corona di alloro), which is the traditional graduation symbol in Italy. If your son, daughter, or friend is graduating in Florence, you can order the laurel crown and a bouquet directly from our site, or ask us on WhatsApp to prepare something specific for the occasion. We have a dedicated graduation collection with everything you need.

A few practical things

Delivery is available from the next day within Florence city — the cost is already included in the price on the site. For important dates, ordering a few days in advance is always a good idea. If you're unsure about the exact delivery address, a name and a neighbourhood in Florence is often enough to start — write to us and we'll sort it out.

You can reach us on WhatsApp or order directly at fiorit.it.
