Oh! Blumen

A small flower shop by Basel station

Oh! Blumen is a small flower shop in Basel owned by Bettina Scheer. Since Friday 10 April 2026 it has been at Güterstrasse 122, 4053 Basel, which the site describes as "vis-à-vis Bahnhofeingang", opposite the station entrance. It sells seasonal cut flowers and plants and takes orders for wedding flowers ("Hochzeitsfloristik"), funeral work and table and room decoration. For a couple marrying in Basel who want a personal, small-shop florist, and for guests arriving by train who want to pick up or order flowers, it is conveniently placed.

What the shop offers

The "Unser Angebot" section describes the range. The shop carries a selection of fresh cut flowers, branches, berries, grasses and other floral elements chosen to suit the season, as well as potted plants for indoors and outdoors. To order, it offers "Hochzeitsfloristik, einfühlsame Trauerbinderei oder Dekorationen wie Tisch- und Raumschmuck sowie Daueraufträge für Ihr Zuhause und Ihren Arbeitsplatz": wedding floristry, sensitive funeral work, decorations such as table and room flowers, and standing orders for home and workplace.

The shop's own description of its approach is modest and specific: "Als kleiner Blumenladen treiben wir mit Freude einen grossen Aufwand, um ausgesuchte Schnittblumen zu besorgen und für Sie stimmige Blumenwerke zu gestalten. So haben Sie bei uns jeden Tag eine Wahl der Qualität." In English: as a small flower shop, we gladly go to great lengths to source carefully chosen cut flowers and create harmonious floral pieces for you, so that every day you have a choice of quality.

The page lists other uses for its flowers too: for a company's reception area, for staff birthdays and anniversaries, for relatives or friends in hospital, and flower vouchers as gifts. The vouchers are one practical idea for a couple who want to thank helpers or witnesses after the wedding.

Weddings

Wedding flowers are made to order. The site names wedding floristry and table and room decoration but does not describe what a wedding order includes, show a wedding gallery or publish prices. That leaves the scope open: a bridal bouquet and buttonholes, table flowers for the reception and room decoration are all within the services named, and the details are for a conversation with the shop.

The seasonal range matters for a wedding. The shop stocks what suits the time of year, from flowers to branches, berries and grasses, so the look of a wedding bouquet will follow the season, and a couple with a particular flower in mind should ask whether it is available for their date.

The team

The team section names two people: Bettina Scheer, "Geschäftsinhaberin" (owner), and Auri, "mit im Team" (also on the team). It is a small operation, and the site names no one else, so a couple planning a wedding can ask to deal with the owner directly.

Hours, the move and a September timetable

The regular opening hours on the homepage are:

• Monday: closed
• Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday: 09:30 to 12:15 and 14:00 to 18:30
• Thursday: 14:00 to 18:30
• Saturday: 09:30 to 16:00

A notice below adds that the shop reopened on Tuesday 15 September 2026, with special hours until the end of September: Tuesday to Friday 14:00 to 18:30 and Saturday 11:00 to 15:00. The same notice makes a point that is useful for couples at a distance: "wir nehmen sehr gerne auch ausserhalb der Oeffnungszeiten Bestellungen entgegen", orders are gladly taken outside opening hours too.

The notice says the shop has reopened ("wir haben wieder geöffnet") without saying why it was closed. A couple planning around a particular date should therefore ask about any holiday or seasonal closures when they place the order, especially for a wedding in late summer.

The footer still carries the shop's former address on Klybeckstrasse 64-66, 4057 Basel; the current address is Güterstrasse 122.

Delivery and contact

The shop offers a home delivery service ("Haus-Liefer-Service") for anyone who wants to surprise someone with flowers but has no time to come in; customers call or email to arrange it. The site does not say how far the delivery reaches or what it costs.

Contact is by email to blumen@oh-blumen.ch or by phone on +41 78 325 26 46. The site also has an online shop and a newsletter, and its menu includes a separate page on location and opening hours, the one to check for current times before a visit.

What the site does not settle

• Wedding scope and prices. No list of wedding pieces and no prices are published.
• Delivery area and installation. The delivery service is not described by area, and on-site set-up at a wedding venue is not mentioned.
• Lead time. There is no guidance on how early to order wedding flowers.
• Languages. The site is in German and does not mention English.
• Portfolio. No wedding photographs are shown on the homepage.

Planning from abroad

The combination of an email address, orders taken outside opening hours and a shop opposite the station entrance makes Oh! Blumen workable for couples planning from elsewhere. A first email should set out the date and venue, the pieces wanted, the colors and a budget, attach a few reference images, and ask whether the shop can reply in English, whether it delivers to the venue and sets up there, and how far ahead it needs the order. If the couple come to Basel beforehand, a visit to the shop during opening hours lets them see the seasonal stock and meet the owner.

Who it suits

Oh! Blumen suits a couple marrying in Basel who want a small, owner-run shop that sources its flowers with care and follows the seasons, and who are happy to shape the wedding order in conversation. It also suits guests who want to order flowers for the couple, since the shop delivers and accepts orders by phone and email.

The caveats are that the site says little about wedding work beyond naming it, gives no prices and is in German only, and that the team named on the site is two people. For a larger event with extensive decoration, a couple should ask early what the shop can take on.
