Easter flowers in Switzerland need a little planning in 2027. Easter Sunday is 28 March, and Good Friday (26 March) and Easter Monday (29 March) are public holidays in most cantons, when florists do not deliver. The safest option is a delivery on Thursday 25 March: with KANEL, order before 4pm on Wednesday 24 March for a bouquet hand-tied on delivery day and delivered anywhere in Switzerland.
Dates come from the 2027 calendar; delivery rules were checked on the florists’ websites in October 2026. Holiday schedules for Easter 2027 may not be published yet, so always check the dates offered at checkout.

When to order
- KANEL: outside Geneva, next day Tuesday to Saturday for orders before 4pm the day before; in Geneva, same day before 2pm, Monday to Saturday. For Thursday 25 March, order by Wednesday 24 March, 4pm. A Saturday 27 March delivery would normally mean ordering by Friday 4pm, but Friday is Good Friday: check on KANEL’s site which days are open over Easter. You can book up to 15 days ahead.
- Last minute: see our same-day delivery guide for what is possible on working days.
Our tip: do not wait until the Thursday. Order on Monday 22 or Tuesday 23 March and choose Thursday as your delivery date.
Easter flowers: what to choose
Easter falls in the heart of spring, the best season for cheerful, colourful bouquets.
| Flowers | Why |
|---|---|
| Tulips | The emblematic spring flower, in every colour |
| Daffodils | Bright yellow, symbol of renewal |
| Ranunculus | Delicate, layered petals, pastel tones |
| Hyacinths | Intense scent, blue, pink or white |
| Anemones | Elegant, with dark centres |
| Blossom branches | Cherry or apple blossom for a natural look |
Typical Easter palettes are yellow and white, soft pastels (pink, lilac, peach) and fresh greens. Our article on seasonal flowers in Switzerland shows what is in season in March.
Pets: some spring bulbs, including tulips, daffodils and hyacinths, are known to be harmful to cats and dogs. See our list of flowers toxic to cats and dogs before sending to a home with animals.

Easter and Mother’s Day: plan both
Six weeks after Easter, Swiss Mother’s Day falls on Sunday 9 May 2027, so order for Saturday 8 May. British readers should note that UK Mothering Sunday is on 7 March 2027, before Easter. See our Mother’s Day guide.
Sending Easter flowers from abroad
If your family in Switzerland celebrates Easter, remember that the long weekend runs from Friday to Monday in most cantons, and Swiss cut-off times apply. KANEL’s site is fully in English and accepts international cards and PayPal. See our guide to sending flowers to Switzerland from abroad.
Easter flowers by recipient
- Parents or grandparents: a generous spring bouquet in yellow and white, perhaps with chocolates, delivered on Thursday before the family gathering.
- Hosts of an Easter lunch: send the flowers on Thursday or bring a compact bouquet yourself; the host will appreciate not having to find a vase as guests arrive.
- Friends abroad or far away: a pastel bouquet with a short card is a lovely way to share the start of spring.
- Colleagues before the long weekend: a bouquet for the office on Wednesday or Thursday, before the holiday closures.
Easter flowers by budget
| Budget (all in) | Suggestion |
|---|---|
