Les Fleuridées

Les Fleuridées is a flower shop at Rue de l'Eglise Catholique 6 in Montreux, run by a team of three florists who describe themselves as "artisanes". The shop says it has been serving customers for more than 20 years, and its wedding page covers the bridal bouquet, ceremony decoration, reception arrangements and flowers for the car, with the team handling delivery and, where needed, installation. The site has French, German and English versions, which makes first contact easy for couples planning from abroad.

The shop

The homepage presents the business as "Une boutique florale" that has been "À votre écoute depuis plus de 20 ans" (listening to you for more than 20 years). In the heart of Montreux, it says, the floral workshop is a place where nature is celebrated, and "Notre équipe de trois artisanes" (our team of three craftswomen) creates plant pieces meant to carry an emotion. The shop also makes custom decoration for events and runs a delivery service. The company is registered as Les Fleuridées Sàrl, and its motto on the homepage is "Dites-le avec des fleurs, écrivez-le avec nos bouquets" (say it with flowers, write it with our bouquets).

Each bouquet, the homepage says, is a unique composition made with a sensitivity that reflects the beauty of "notre Riviera" (our Riviera). It invites passers-by to push open the door for a personal welcome, individual advice and authentic floral work.

The flowers, the homepage says, come from daily deliveries of fresh flowers from Switzerland and Holland. The everyday process is simple: customers visit or call, describe the occasion, their favorite colors and their budget, and "Nos artisans sélectionnent alors les plus belles fleurs du jour" (our florists then select the finest flowers of the day) for a piece ready to be delivered or taken away. No bouquet waits on a shelf, the site adds; each one is made in conversation, inspired by the seasons and the customer's wishes.

The wedding offer

The wedding page opens with "Pour Fleurir votre "Oui"" and the line "Nous orchestrons avec passion la parure florale de votre union" (we passionately orchestrate the floral adornment of your union). Because every wedding is a unique story, it says, the support should be too: the trio makes a point of listening to the couple's story, understanding their wishes and taking care over every detail, and in their conversations they advise and imagine together the arrangement that suits the couple.

The process starts well before the day. In the site's words, "Au fil de plusieurs entretiens et essais, nous définissons ensemble l'esthétique de votre mariage" (over several meetings and trials, we define the look of your wedding together). Style, colors and budget are the foundation of what the page calls "100 % personnalisé" work, and it lists the pieces: bridal bouquets, buttonholes, centerpieces and flower arches. Romantic, bohemian, country ("champêtre") or elegant, "tout est possible", everything is possible.

The page then describes four areas:

• Le Bouquet de la mariée. The centerpiece of the day, made to measure to suit the dress and the bride's silhouette.
• Les Décors de cérémonie. Decoration for the ceremony venue, whether a church or an outdoor arch, with each arrangement thought through from the aisle to the altar.
• Arrangements de mariage. Arrangements for the reception venue, from centerpieces to the buffet, designed to match the wedding theme.
• Voiture. Flowers for the couple's car, from a full garland to a discreet arrangement.

On the day itself, the page says the team aims for smooth coordination: "Notre équipe se charge personnellement de la livraison et, si besoin, de l'installation minutieuse de chaque décor" (our team personally takes care of delivery and, if needed, the careful installation of each decoration). The page has a quote request button ("Demander un devis") and a link to the gallery.

Beyond weddings

The shop's other lines are everyday bouquets, small potted plants, funeral work (wreaths, casket sprays and sympathy sheaves) and special arrangements for receptions, company seminars or businesses wanting flowers in their premises. The homepage also invites customers to leave a review and follow the shop on Instagram.

Hours and contact

The shop is open Monday to Friday 8h30 to 18h30 and Saturday 8h30 to 17h00, both "non stop", without a lunch break, and closed on Sunday. The address is Rue de l'Eglise Catholique 6, 1820 Montreux; the phone number +41 21 963 01 01 and the email info@fleuridees.ch.

For a couple visiting Montreux to plan the wedding, the Saturday hours make a weekend meeting possible. The site does not describe parking or public transport to the shop.

What the site does not settle

• Prices. No wedding prices, packages or minimum spend are published; the route is the quote request.
• Delivery area. The site does not say how far from Montreux the team delivers and installs wedding flowers.
• Lead time. It does not say how many months ahead to book, or how the several meetings and trials are spaced.
• Deposits and cancellation. No terms are published.
• Language of service. The site can be read in English, but it does not state in which languages the team holds consultations; a couple who do not speak French should ask when they write.
• Removal. Delivery and installation are covered; collection of hired items after the event is not mentioned.

Who it suits

Les Fleuridées suits a couple marrying in or around Montreux who want a made-to-measure approach built over several meetings, a team that delivers and installs, and the full set of wedding flowers from bouquet to car. The English version of the site and the email address make it easy to start from abroad, and the listed styles, from bohemian to elegant, show the range the team is willing to work in.

The caveats are the lack of published prices and the absence of a stated delivery area, so a couple with a venue some way from Montreux should confirm early that the team will travel there. The several meetings and trials the process relies on also take time, so a couple planning from abroad should allow for at least one visit or agree how those steps can happen at a distance.
