EASTER in Bogota

Easter in Bogota: flowers, Easter bread and which Sunday to order for

Western and Eastern churches work out the date of Easter in Bogota from different calendars, one Gregorian and one Julian, so the recipient's Sunday is not always the sender's. The two dates match in only around three years out of ten, and in roughly four years out of ten the Eastern Easter falls a week later. Once that date is settled, the next question is whether flowers travel alone or share the box with Easter bread.

Willow, lilac and Easter bread: what the Easter grid holds

The Easter grid splits into two flower lines. One is willow, paired with eucalyptus in the Willow and Eucalyptus Bouquet or standing alone in Bouquet with Willow #1. The other is a spring line of lilac and lavender, from the Lilac Bouquet #5 and No. 1 to the mixed Bouquet "Lilac Spring".

For a table setting rather than a hand-held bunch, the section offers boxes and arrangements. These include the Floral Box "Easter Composition", the Flower Box 'Bright Sunday' and a box pairing French roses with lilac. Dried flowers come in a box too, alongside an Easter tabletop arrangement and a flower-filled handbag called 'Fiber'. A French rose here is not a variety but a finish: the florist bends an ordinary rose's outer petals back by hand, so it opens wider.

Raisin Easter bread comes in three sizes, from a small mini loaf to the full-size version, and bento cakes are iced as 'Easter Greetings' or shaped as an Easter Bunny, small enough to travel in one box next to the bouquet.

A bouquet has to land on the right morning for the calendar the recipient keeps, so checking which Easter they observe comes before anything else in the order.

The order form takes any date and time slot for any delivery zone, though it does change which slots stay open: the earlier the order goes in, the more choice remains near that date. Most orders reach the recipient on the day they are placed, and the exact timing is shown on the bouquet's own card.

A box, a tabletop arrangement or a bouquet for the Easter table

A box or a tabletop arrangement needs no vase: the stems sit in floral foam rather than water. The foam needs a fine stream of water over its whole surface every day, or once it dries out it barely takes water back.

A bouquet of willow or lilac works the other way: it needs a vase, which can be added to the same order at checkout.

The bento cake follows its own rule: sized to fit in one hand and boxed to travel, a format that began in South Korea, with a short line usually piped in cream on the lid. A cream cake should not sit at room temperature for more than two hours, or one hour above thirty-two degrees, so the safest move is to chill it first.

Easter flower delivery in Bogota: photo, card and payment

Before the courier leaves, the finished bouquet is photographed, and that photo is the moment to ask for changes. A card travels with it at no extra cost, written out or left blank for an anonymous delivery.

The recipient's phone number is enough to place the order, and nobody calls ahead to warn them, except for a building the courier cannot enter without being let in first.

Payment runs on Visa or Mastercard, and nothing more is owed to the courier on arrival. Deliveries to the centre cost nothing extra, a detail covered in full on the delivery page.

A box needs no vase and sits naturally beside Easter bread, which is why flowers in boxes suit a Sunday table better than a hand-tied bunch. Add gifts with bouquets or a vase at checkout, or start with dried flowers for an arrangement that skips the water question altogether.
