Public Holiday Flower Delivery in Singapore
Flower delivery is available on most Singapore public holidays, but peak days such as Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, Teachers' Day and the days before Chinese New Year book out early, cut-offs may move earlier and some delivery slots close. Order 1–2 weeks ahead for peak dates.

What changes on public holidays and peak days
- Earlier cut-offs: we may close same-day orders earlier than usual.
- Fewer or wider time slots: on the busiest days, specific slots may be unavailable.
- Flower prices: wholesale prices for roses rise sharply before Valentine’s Day across the industry.
- Offices may be closed: on public holidays, deliver to a home address rather than the office.
How to avoid delays
- Schedule your delivery as soon as you know the date.
- Choose a home address on public holidays and weekends.
- Add a recipient phone number and alternative drop-off instructions.
- Be flexible on exact flower types; ask for a colour palette instead.
Seasonal ideas
- Valentine’s Day: red roses or a preserved rose box that lasts.
- Mother’s Day: carnations, soft pinks and flower gift boxes.
- Chinese New Year: red and gold, orchids and pussy willow; see Chinese flower meanings.
- Teachers’ Day and graduations: small hand bouquets that are easy to carry.
