Wittwer Fleurs

Wittwer Fleurs (Wittwer Blumen in German) is a flower shop on the Alte Lauenenstrasse in Gstaad, run by the company Highland Flower and Garden AG with Agnes Röthlisberger named as the person in charge. It does wedding decorations as one part of a broader florist business, and its main selling point for a wedding in the mountains is that its own team brings the flowers to the venue and sets them up there, across Gstaad and the neighboring valleys.

A local florist that installs on site

The shop's About page describes the team as florists plus a driver who installs and assembles everything the shop creates, at each location. It gives the team size as between 9 and 15 people. That is a meaningful detail for a wedding: the people who made the table arrangements are the same business that carries them into the venue and puts them in place, rather than a courier dropping boxes at the kitchen door.

The delivery area is stated plainly and repeated on several pages. The shop says there is no flower or plant it cannot deliver to you in Gstaad and in the Saanenland, the Pays-d'Enhaut or the Obersimmental, and that it hands over its arrangements personally. It also offers to deliver orders straight to your chalet. For a couple who has rented a chalet for the week and is hosting guests at several addresses, that is the practical offer on this site: flowers that arrive where you are staying, not only at the reception venue.

The About page adds two claims about local knowledge. In the shop's words, "Nous connaissons notre région avec toutes ses particularités et ses possibilités" (we know our region with all its particularities and possibilities), and it guarantees floral decoration that holds up even in winter, in snow and cold. The exact French is "nous garantissons une décoration florale parfaite, même en hiver, par temps de neige et de froid". For a December or February wedding in Gstaad, that is the reassurance a couple would want to hear from a florist, and it is the shop's own statement, so it is worth asking what it means in practice for your date and venue.

What the wedding page says

The dedicated wedding page is short. It opens with an offer of advice for the wedding day, "le plus beau jour de chaque couple de mariés" (the most beautiful day of every bridal couple), a day full of emotion with many loved ones present, accompanied by the shop's flowers. It then names two settings for table decorations: a festive dinner, or a cheerful alpine party ("une joyeuse fête d'alpage"). The last lines set out the styles the shop works in, "classique, romantique, champêtre ou rustique" (classic, romantic, country or rustic), and say that each of them is a good choice.

Below the text sits a gallery of past work. The page carries no captions, so the photos show the shop's style rather than naming venues or clients.

The services menu lists the wedding-relevant pieces separately: wedding decorations, table decorations, room decorations, winter decorations and balcony decorations. Alongside them are rental plants, a home delivery service and an event decoration page. For a couple planning a full weekend, that combination suggests one supplier could handle ceremony flowers, dinner tables, the room itself and potted greenery on loan, though the site does not describe a combined wedding package, so the scope would be agreed in the consultation.

Other things the shop does

Weddings sit inside a general florist business. The site has sections for cut flowers and floristry, plants, rental plants, funeral work, winter decorations and balcony planting, an online shop, gift vouchers and a way to pay for a phone order online. It also offers a flower subscription, regular bouquets or arrangements for businesses or private homes. There is a jobs page and a news page.

That breadth has two sides. A shop with a daily retail trade and a team of this size can take on a wedding without the day depending on one freelancer. On the other hand, it is not a wedding-only studio, and the site does not show the kind of wedding portfolio with styled shoots and venue names that some specialist florists publish.

Finding the shop and getting in touch

The shop is at Alte Lauenenstrasse 5, 3780 Gstaad. The About page says there are parking spaces nearby in the Parking Obergstaad or in the Suterstrasse car park (the cinema car park), which is useful if you want to visit in person before the wedding. It also says the flower shop can be reached every day.

The published opening hours cover December to February only: Monday to Friday 08:00 to 18:30 without a lunch break, Saturday 08:00 to 17:00, Sunday closed. The site does not publish hours for the rest of the year.

Contact is by phone on 033 748 99 11, by fax on 033 748 99 10, by email at info@wittwer-fleurs.ch, or through the contact form. The site offers three language versions, labeled Deutsch, Francais and Englisch, and the page titles carry the English tagline "Your Florist for all Events".

What the site leaves open

The site publishes no prices, no minimum order for weddings and no wedding packages. It does not say how far ahead a wedding should be booked or whether a site visit at the venue is part of the service. It does not say whether the team will deliver outside the areas it names, so a couple marrying further afield should ask before assuming. There is no mention of setting up an outdoor ceremony, removing decorations after the event, or what happens to rented plants afterward.

On language, the site offers an English version of its pages, but it does not say which languages the team speaks on the phone or in a consultation. A couple planning from abroad should state their preferred language in the first email and see how the reply comes back.

Who it suits

Wittwer Fleurs makes most sense for a wedding in Gstaad itself or in the Saanenland, the Pays-d'Enhaut or the Obersimmental, especially one spread across a chalet and a separate reception venue, where personal delivery and on-site installation matter. It suits couples who like classic, romantic, country or rustic styles and who want a local shop that knows winter conditions in the region. It is less suited to a couple who wants to compare fixed packages online before making contact, or to a wedding outside the valleys the shop names.
