Pusteblume

Pusteblume is a florist with 3 shops, in Thun, Steffisburg and Konolfingen, and its offer page gives weddings their own section: the team takes on the floral side of the celebration and adapts the bridal bouquet, church decoration and table decoration to the couple's style. The shops also sell everyday arrangements, cut flowers, plants, home accessories and gifts, and run flower subscriptions for businesses and private customers.

The wedding offer

The wedding section is headed "Blumen für einzigartige Momente", flowers for unique moments. It opens with the wish that the day be beautiful and matched entirely to the couple's taste, and acknowledges that with all the emotions, an overlong to-do list and a huge choice, deciding which flowers suit best is not easy. The answer it offers is advice: "Profitieren Sie von der langjährigen Erfahrung unserer Floristinnen. Wir beraten Sie gerne und passen die Blumen Ihrem Hochzeitsfest an." Couples are invited to draw on the many years of experience of the shop's florists, who will advise them and adapt the flowers to the celebration.

The scope is stated in one sentence: "Wir übernehmen den floralen Teil Ihres Festes und passen Hochzeitsstrauss, Kirchen- und Tischdekorkation ihrem Stil an." The shop takes over the floral part of the wedding and adapts bridal bouquet, church decoration and table decoration to the couple's style, whether "zart-romantisch, im Boho-Style, Shabby chic oder klassisch-edel" (delicate and romantic, boho, shabby chic or classic and elegant). The section closes with a practical reminder: "Denken Sie daran, frühzeitig einen Termin bei uns zu vereinbaren", remember to book an appointment early.

Four wedding styles and the season

For inspiration the page links to 4 picture selections: Hochzeit im Vintage/Shabby chic-Stil (vintage or shabby chic), Hochzeit im romantisch-verspielten Stil (romantic and playful), Hochzeit im Boho-Style, and Hochzeit im klassisch-edlen Stil (classic and elegant). The shops say elsewhere on the page that the vintage style in particular has won them over, because in their view it radiates sweetness, harmony and warmth.

The page is candid about the season. "Eine Shabby-chic Hochzeit im Winter sieht aus floraler Sicht anders aus, als eine Shabby-chic Hochzeit im Frühling, Sommer oder Herbst." A shabby chic wedding in winter looks different in floral terms from one in spring, summer or autumn, because the time of year always affects the choice of flowers. For a couple planning from abroad that is a useful signal: the style is fixed in conversation, but the flowers themselves will follow what the season offers.

Shops, hours and contact

The page lists the 3 shops with their addresses, phone numbers and hours.

• Thun, Talackerstrasse 62, phone 033 334 15 87. Monday to Thursday 9 to 19, Friday 9 to 21, Saturday 7:30 to 17.
• Steffisburg, Unterdorfstrasse 10, phone 033 438 00 50. Monday to Thursday 8 to 19, Friday 8 to 20, Saturday 7:30 to 17.
• Konolfingen, Kreuzplatz 4, phone 031 791 37 08. Monday to Friday 8:30 to 12 and 13 to 18:30, Saturday 8:30 to 16.

The late Friday opening in Thun and Steffisburg and the early Saturday start in all three make a visit easier for couples who work during the week. Each shop has its own email address behind a link, and the wedding section ends with a contact form asking for name, phone number, email and the request. The site menu also offers a "360 Rundgang", a 360-degree virtual tour, which lets a couple who cannot visit in person look around before getting in touch.

Beyond weddings

The everyday side of the business explains its scale. The shops sell seasonal arrangements, small and large, "für jedes Budget und für jeden Anlass" (for every budget and every occasion), open cut flowers, plant arrangements for balconies and terraces put together with natural materials, and home accessories in several styles. Arrangements are available on subscription for businesses and private customers, delivered weekly or at the rhythm the customer wants, and the page names hotel receptions, restaurant tables and the foyer of a municipal office as typical places. The shop also sends bouquets put together to the customer's wishes, and orders can go through the webshop or be placed in person.

A gift section, "Von Herzen schenken" (giving from the heart), pitches small presents for a birthday party, a housewarming or dinner with a future mother-in-law, and a plants section offers seasonal house plants, matching cachepots and outdoor plants for balcony, terrace or garden, with advice on the conditions each needs. Funeral floristry is a further section, including seasonal planting for graves and urns, and the menu has a Workshops page and a Shop.

What the page leaves open

The page publishes no prices for wedding flowers, no packages and no minimum order. Beyond the bridal bouquet and church and table decoration, it does not list what a wedding order can include (boutonnieres, flowers for the car, hair flowers, ceremony arches), so anything else is a question to ask. It does not say whether the florists deliver to a venue on the wedding day and set up there, or how far they travel; the only delivery mentioned is for subscriptions and sent bouquets.

The site is in German and gives no information about English or other languages. A couple writing from abroad can use the contact form or the shop emails, and should ask in the first message which language the team is comfortable with.

Who it suits

Pusteblume suits couples marrying around Thun, Steffisburg or Konolfingen who want a florist with shops they can walk into, long opening hours and a clear sense of style. Couples drawn to vintage or shabby chic will find a team that says openly that this is the look it loves, and the 4 style selections are a quick way to see whether the taste fits.

The caveats: nothing is priced, the wedding offer is described in outline rather than item by item, and the page does not settle whether the team decorates a venue on the day. A couple planning from abroad will need a first exchange by email or form, ideally followed by a visit to one of the shops, before the flowers are settled.
