Blumen Maarsen

A Bern florist with a priced bridal collection

Blumen Maarsen is a florist at Moserstrasse 9 in Bern, trading as Blumen Maarsen AG, with an online shop and a Fleurop partnership for deliveries further afield. The copyright line on the site runs from 1985 to 2026. What sets it apart for couples is the wedding page: instead of a vague promise of individual bouquets, it shows a photographed collection of bridal bouquets, each with a starting price and an order button.

The site has German, English and French language links at the top of every page, which helps couples who do not read German.

The wedding page

The wedding page opens by noting that weddings take many forms today: in white or in color, with hundreds of guests or in a small circle, in church or secular. What they share, it says, is that "die Braut steht im Zentrum und ihr Brautstrauss unterstreicht dies": the bride is at the center and her bouquet underlines it. The shop created a collection of bouquets and had them photographed, as varied as the couples and styles of celebration. The page puts its priority plainly: whether refined, lavish, understated or wild ("Ob gediegen, üppig, dezent oder wild"), what matters is that the bouquet pleases the bride and brings out her beauty.

If the wedding has further flower decoration, the page says each piece is derived from the bridal bouquet. The groom's boutonniere is the classic, and the page names the church, the wedding car, the wedding meal and boutonnieres for all the guests as common additions. It ends with "Wir beraten Sie gerne!" (we are happy to advise you) and is signed by Sandra Maarsen.

The bouquet collection and prices

Each bouquet in the collection has an "ab" (from) price and, separately, the price of the version in the photograph:

• bouquet with daisies in a grass nest, from CHF 100
• Südsee (South Seas) bouquet, from CHF 180
• American bridal bouquet, from CHF 140
• tulip bouquet, from CHF 80
• bridal bag with anemones, from CHF 120
• fragrant bouquet in white, from CHF 80 (CHF 220 as pictured)
• vintage bouquet, from CHF 120
• spring bouquet, from CHF 120
• bouquet in a feather wreath, from CHF 110 (CHF 150 as pictured)
• white bouquet, from CHF 120 (CHF 150 as pictured)
• lisianthus and peacock feathers, from CHF 220 (CHF 280 as pictured)
• seasonal bouquet in orange tones, from CHF 80 (CHF 100 as pictured)
• "Rosmelie" bouquet, from CHF 140 (CHF 150 as pictured)
• extravagant calla bouquet, from CHF 120 (CHF 150 as pictured)
• dreamy, natural bouquet, from CHF 85 (CHF 100 as pictured)
• bordeaux and pink, from CHF 140
• wild bouquet, from CHF 90
• red and pink, from CHF 180

So bridal bouquets start at CHF 80 and the most elaborate design shown costs CHF 280. For a couple from abroad, that is rare and useful information: it sets a realistic budget for the bouquet before a single email is sent.

The collection covers a wide range of styles, from the tulip and single-color designs to the peacock-feather piece and the calla bouquet the page calls extravagant. It works as a set of reference points: a couple can pick one, or point to one and ask for changes.

Partners

The wedding page lists the shop's wedding partners: the wedding photographer "Fotonic" Nicole Stadelmann, the Ambassador Big Band for swing and dance music, and André Burri for Rolls-Royce and vintage car rides. These are recommendations from the florist, not services the shop provides itself.

Delivery and the online shop

The rest of the site is an online flower shop, with each product marked by how it can be delivered: some only within greater Bern by Maarsen's own service ("im Grossraum Bern"), some anywhere in Switzerland by Maarsen, and some worldwide, with Maarsen delivering in Switzerland and Fleurop abroad. The menu also covers flower subscriptions, funeral flowers, gift vouchers, event and table decoration, floristry courses, and a page on the shop and team. A "Kürzlich geliefert" (recently delivered) section shows photographs of real orders, which gives a sense of the shop's everyday style beyond the posed bridal collection, and a "Lageplan" page shows where the shop is. Every page also offers an accessible ordering route for screen readers and braille displays, which may matter to a guest or family member ordering flowers for the couple.

The wedding page does not say how the bridal bouquets are delivered or whether they can be collected from the shop, and it does not say whether the church, car and table decoration it mentions includes setup at the venue.

Contact

The address is Moserstrasse 9, 3014 Bern. The phone number is +41 31 332 62 00 and the email is info@blumenmaarsen.ch. Bouquets from the collection can be ordered directly from the wedding page; for anything beyond the bouquet, the page's invitation to ask for advice is the route in.

What the site does not settle

• Full wedding pricing. The bouquets are priced, but the church, car, table and guest flowers the page mentions are not.
• Setup and delivery. There is nothing on whether the shop decorates venues on the day, or on delivery charges for a wedding order.
• Lead time. No booking lead time is given for wedding orders.
• Language in practice. The site offers English and French versions, but it does not state which languages the team uses in a consultation.

Who it suits

Blumen Maarsen suits couples marrying in or around Bern who want to see bouquets and prices before they talk to anyone, and couples abroad who would like to choose and order the bridal bouquet online from a clear menu. The price range, from CHF 80 to CHF 280 for the bouquets shown, makes budgeting straightforward, and the English and French language options lower the barrier for couples who do not read German.

It is a less complete answer for couples who need a florist to take on the whole venue, since the site says little about decoration beyond listing it, or for weddings well outside Bern, where delivery for a wedding order needs to be agreed.
