Florists within reach of a delivery van

5 florists for a wedding in Hainaut, from the bouquet to the installation, fresh as well as dried.

5 approved florists 5 criteria 5 cities

5 florists cover weddings in Hainaut, and 4 are set up in the province, lined up along the Roux, Carnières, Havré axis, with Wanfercée-Baulet over near Fleurus. The fifth comes from Saint-Gilles, which is still common for a trade that delivers. Fresh flowers are put together the day before and delivered the same morning: the workshop address matters more here than for any other supplier. A workshop close to the venue means a calm delivery; at the other end of the province, it means loading up at dawn and flowers that have travelled.

Fresh, dried, or both?

All 5 work with both. 4 also build installations and 3 handle everything, from the bouquet to taking it all down.

Or by province

4 are based in Hainaut, 1 come from a neighbouring province. In this trade, travelling is normal.

How to choose your florist in Hainaut

  1. 1Measure the height before you dreamThe old market halls and the barns of Hainaut have volumes that a centrepiece will never fill. Send photos with something for scale, otherwise the quote means nothing.
  2. 2Dried flowers last all day without waterAll 5 florists make them. Useful in converted buildings, which often have neither a cold room nor a water point to keep fresh flowers going in the heat.
  3. 3Ask who takes it down, and when3 florists out of 5 handle the full service. Many venues want to be handed back empty the same night or early the next morning, and it is not up to your family to climb a ladder at 2 a.m.
  4. 4Plan the trip from ceremony to receptionIf the town hall or the church is in Charleroi and the party in Belœil, you need either two deliveries or someone to move the arrangements. Decide it with the florist, not on the day.
  5. 5Trust the season rather than the pictureAn out of season variety has to be ordered from abroad and sends the quote soaring. Give the colour and the feel, then let the florist suggest what will be beautiful that month.

The five questions to ask before ordering

  • Have you done the flowers at our venue before, and what time do you deliver?
  • What happens if it is very hot, or if it rains on the day?
  • Can we reuse the ceremony arrangements in the reception room?
  • Who sets up, who takes down, and is that included in the price?
  • What seasonal flowers do you recommend for that date?

What it costs

For the bouquets and a few arrangements, count somewhere between 400 € and 1 200 €. As soon as an arch, a hanging piece or large volumes come into it, you go up towards 2 000 € and beyond.

Frequently asked questions

How many florists cover Hainaut?

5 in total. 4 are set up in the province, between Roux, Carnières, Havré and Wanfercée-Baulet, and 1 comes from Saint-Gilles.

Should you pick a florist near the venue?

This is the trade where it matters most, because fresh flowers are delivered the same morning. It is not a deal breaker, but ask about the delivery time and how the arrangements travel.

Can you keep the flowers after the wedding?

Dried flowers keep as they are, fresh ones much less so. If it matters to you, say so beforehand: some arrangements are designed from the start to be taken home by guests at the end of the evening.

The other categories

Each one sorts its vendors by what really sets them apart.

Flowers that hold until the last table is cleared

Give the florist the real constraint, the venue, the season and the time, before you give them an inspiration. That is how the quote stays accurate and nothing wilts by midday.
