Flowers that stand the drive to the Condroz

5 florists for the bouquets, the installations, dried flowers and paper.

5 approved florists 5 criteria 5 cities
See the 5 florists Find my style first

5 florists cover the province: 2 are on the spot, in Namur and in Gembloux, 3 come from the Charleroi area and the Centre. A fresh flower travels badly, and an arch cannot be built the day before when the venue only opens that morning. That is what explains why 4 of the 5 also work with dried flowers, and why 2 go as far as paper flowers. In a stone farm courtyard in full sun, a decoration that does not wilt by midday is not a compromise, it is a choice.

What sort of flowers do you see?

Fresh, dried, paper, or a complete installation built on site.

Or by province

2 are based in the province of Namur, 3 come from a neighbouring province. Travelling is normal in this trade.

How to choose your florist in Namur province

  1. 1Ask what time the venue opensBuilding an arch or a table runner takes hours. If the farm is only free on the morning of the wedding, tell the florist before they suggest anything fragile.
  2. 2Dried flowers are not a fallback4 florists out of 5 master them. They survive the drive from Charleroi, the heat of a paved courtyard, and they keep as a memento after the party.
  3. 3Nothing gets nailed into old stoneThe venues around Namur are old and their walls cannot be drilled. Have the florist come and spot the fixing points with the venue manager.
  4. 4The season weighs more than the budgetA seasonal flower grown nearby lasts better and costs less than an out-of-season import. Ask what is in bloom on your date before starting from an image found online.
  5. 5One set, two uses3 florists offer installations. Have the ceremony arch moved into the room during the drinks reception: same set, paid for once.

The 5 questions to ask the florist

  • What time do you set up, and how long do you need on site?
  • What becomes of the decor if the venue only opens for us on the morning itself?
  • Which flowers will actually be available on our date?
  • Do you collect the vases, stands and structures after the party?
  • What do you suggest if the flower we planned is missing at the last minute?

What it costs

Count between 500 € and 2 500 € for the flowers of a wedding, depending on whether it is the bouquets and the tables only or an installation built on site.

  • ·Paper flowers turn up wherever nothing from the day should wilt.

Frequently asked questions

How many florists work weddings in the province of Namur?

5 florists in total: 2 are based in the province, in Namur and Gembloux, and 3 come from the Charleroi area and the Centre. 4 work with fresh flowers, 4 with dried, 3 do installations and 2 paper flowers.

A florist coming from Charleroi, is that risky for freshness?

Not if they prepare and deliver on the same day, that is their job. Just ask what time they leave, what time they set up and how they transport the arrangements.

Can you mix fresh and dried flowers?

Yes, and it is common here: dried flowers hold up in installations exposed to sun and wind, fresh ones stay for the bouquets and the tables where they are seen close up.

Choose flowers that will hold until the evening

Give the florist the venue address and the access time before you talk colours. The rest of the conversation follows from that.
