Blum Fleurs

A family flower shop in Grimisuat

Blum Fleurs is a flower shop in Grimisuat, in the canton of Valais, run by a mother and daughter. It sits in the Coop shopping center at Route d'Ayent 19, and the homepage describes it as a family business "depuis 3 générations" (for 3 generations). Weddings are one of several lines of work, next to event decoration, interior decoration for offices and businesses, funeral flowers, and a shop selling fresh, dried, potted and stem flowers. The wedding page covers the bridal bouquet, aisle decoration and table centerpieces, with delivery, setup and collection of the material included.

The site is written in French. It does not mention English or German, so a couple who do not speak French should ask about language in their first message.

Edith and her daughter

The about page is headed "Une histoire de famille fleurie" and introduces the two florists as "un duo de fleuristes pas comme les autres" (a florist duo unlike the others), a mother and her daughter working together.

Edith, the mother, came to the trade by a detour. The page says a summer job as a horticulturist was the turning point that made her drop everything and follow this vocation, guided by a close connection with nature and a wish to be near people. It says she has been bringing a ray of sunshine into her customers' lives for more than 30 years. The site gives no founding year for the shop itself.

Her daughter, who is not named on the page, joined the family shop in 2023. The page says "elle a suivi son cœur" (she followed her heart) and describes it as a decisive moment, because she discovered a real passion for the work and for being close to customers. Her enthusiasm, the page says, brings freshness and creativity to the shop.

The page also sets out how the pair work: they enjoy listening to customers' stories, understanding what they need, and creating arrangements that carry their feelings and intentions. For a wedding, that points to a conversation-led process rather than a catalog.

The wedding offer

The wedding page is headed "Nous fleurissons le plus beau jour de votre vie" (we bring flowers to the most beautiful day of your life). Its promises are short and practical: made-to-measure work, following the couple's theme and wishes, and adapted to their budget. The page says the shop makes a point of satisfying couples by responding to their specific requests and adjusting to their budget.

It then names three elements.

Bridal bouquet. The florists guide the bride through the creation of the bouquet and put it together with her, according to her wishes and in keeping with the dress.

Aisle decoration. The page's line is "Faites une entrée remarquée avec nos décorations d'allée", in English make an entrance people notice with our aisle decorations.

Table centerpieces. The shop lends its collection of vases free of charge for the tables. For a couple, that removes the cost and the hassle of hiring or buying vases for every table.

The most useful sentence for anyone planning from a distance is this one: "Nous nous chargeons de la livraison, de l'installation et de la récupération du matériel." The shop delivers, sets up and collects the material afterwards. Couples do not need to organize anyone to take vases back after the party.

Seasonal flowers

The about page says the shop's work follows the rhythm of the seasons, because each time of year has its own floral charm, and that the florists like to work with nature's changing palettes to create compositions that reflect each season. The homepage adds that the flowers are chosen carefully for each arrangement and each event. A couple who want particular flowers should mention them early, since the shop's approach leans toward what the season offers.

Delivery, hours and the shop

The about page gives the delivery terms for ordinary orders: home delivery anywhere in central Valais for an extra 8 to 10 francs per trip, and delivery anywhere in Switzerland within 24 hours. The online shop's bouquet page adds that delivery is free for orders from 100 francs and that an exact delivery time cannot be guaranteed. For a wedding, delivery and setup are part of the wedding service described above.

The shop is open 7 days a week, according to the homepage. The contact page lists the hours: Monday 8h30 to 12h; Tuesday to Friday 8h30 to 12h and 14h to 18h30; Saturday 8h30 to 12h and 13h30 to 17h00; Sunday 9h to 12h. Potted plants are for sale outside the shop around the clock, with payment by Twint or on invoice. Customers can use the free parking of the shopping center.

The contact details are phone 027 398 28 58 and email info@blumfleurs.ch, and both the wedding page and the contact page carry an inquiry form.

Booking

The wedding page's invitation is "Parlez-nous du mariage de vos rêves": tell us about the wedding you have in mind. At a first meeting, the florists talk through the couple's wishes and then draw up a quote with no obligation. The form on the page asks for a name, email, phone number and a message.

What the site does not settle

The site publishes no wedding prices, no example budgets and no minimum order. It does not give a lead time for booking wedding flowers. It does not say how far the team will travel for a wedding, even though ordinary delivery reaches all of Switzerland, and it does not say whether a wedding outside central Valais costs extra for setup and collection. It does not say whether the florists can work in English. The wedding page links to a gallery of the shop's work, which is the place to judge the style.

Who it suits

Blum Fleurs suits couples marrying in central Valais who want a small, family florist to handle the bouquet, the aisle and the tables, and who like the idea of the same two people from the first meeting to the collection of the vases. Free vases and included setup and collection make the offer easy to plan around, and a shop open every day, Sunday morning included, is convenient for last-minute details.

It is less suited to couples who need a written price list first or who need to work in English without checking. Couples marrying far from Grimisuat should confirm travel for setup before booking.
