November is the month of name days in Romania. After the summer break and September–October, dedicated to weddings, November brings three important name days: St. Michael and Gabriel (November 8), St. Catherine (November 25), and St. Andrew (November 30).
They are not celebrated on the same scale as Saint Mary’s Day or Christmas, but they matter to millions of Romanians. And for many people living abroad—in London, Munich, or Madrid—there is one simple and effective idea: send flowers to my Mihaela in Bucharest, even if I am 2,000 km away.
Here’s how to do it and which flowers to choose for each occasion.
Michael and Gabriela are two of the most common names in Romania. On November 8, in every high-school class and on every office floor, it is worth making the day memorable.
For Mihaela and Mihail: choose flowers that convey nobility and strength—white roses with eucalyptus, hydrangeas, and white chrysanthemums; arrangements that do not say “superficial beauty,” but rather “you are someone I respect.”
For Gabriel and Gabriela: take a slightly warmer approach—roses in cream and peach tones rather than stark white. In romantic traditions, Gabriela often deserves a warmer note than Mihaela.

How to send flowers from abroad:
The cost? A bouquet worth 300–400 lei (70–90 EUR) reaches Mihaela in Bucharest on her name day, delivered with love. It is a small investment for a moment she will never forget.
St. Catherine’s Day is not as mainstream as Saint Mary’s Day, but anyone named Ecaterina or Katherine knows that it is her special day. And for them, a bouquet is personal enough.
Choose delicate and refined flowers: dusty pink roses, white lisianthus, and pink chrysanthemums. Not maximalist, but understated. Catherine’s Day calls for arrangements suited to sophisticated, not ostentatious, people.

November 30 is St. Andrew’s Day, honoring Romania’s patron saint. It is less widely celebrated than Saint Mary’s Day, but anyone named Andrei feels the importance of this day. In Orthodox tradition, St. Andrew is deeply revered, and his day deserves flowers with a subtle patriotic touch.
Choose flowers in red and white tones: roses in burgundy and white, with chrysanthemums symbolically echoing the Romanian tricolor. You do not need to wave the flag, but your flowers will say, “You are Romanian, and you are proud.”
For Andreis living abroad, a bouquet delivered in Bucharest on November 30 is a gesture that goes further than any WhatsApp message.

Online payment: We accept EUR, USD, and GBP. The exchange rate is updated daily, with no hidden fees.
Timing: Place your order at least 2–3 days in advance (to allow for flower confirmations and delivery coordination).
Personal message: Include your message—we print it on a card and deliver it with the bouquet.
Photo: If you wish, request a photo confirmation before delivery so you can see Mihaela, Ecaterina, or Andrei receiving the bouquet.
For people living abroad, a bouquet delivered on a loved one’s name day is more personal than any bank transfer or message. Flowers cannot be faked—they require a real purchase, and that effort shows.
We have sent hundreds of bouquets for women named Maria in London, ordered by their children in Manchester. We have delivered hydrangeas for Gabriela in Stuttgart, ordered by her brothers in Vienna. We have placed roses in the hands of Andreis in Rome, ordered by their friends in Milan.
It always works. Flowers are a universal language that carries emotion across distance.
