Do you speak English?

Yes. I am an American wedding florist living in France for over a decade. I work primarily with English-speaking couples planning destination weddings at French châteaux and private estates. All communication, proposals, and floral planning can be done comfortably in English. I am also fluent in French which allows me to assist you or communicate with any French wedding vendors or venues.

Where in France do you work?

I am based in Normandy and create wedding flowers throughout France, including:

• Normandy

• Paris

• Loire Valley

• Dordogne

• French countryside châteaux

• Select destination venues across France

Travel fees may apply depending on location.

What is the starting investment for wedding flowers in France?

Full-service wedding floral design in France typically begins around €3,000. For château and destination weddings, most couples invest between €6,000–€10,000+ depending on guest count, installations, and floral scale.

Each wedding is custom quoted based on venue logistics, design complexity, premium flower selection, and seasonal availability.

If you are unsure what budget makes sense for your venue, I am happy to guide you during your consultation.

How far in advance should we book our wedding florist in France?

For peak season (May–September), couples typically book 8–14 months in advance.

Destination weddings especially require early booking to secure availability.

Can we plan everything remotely?

Yes. Most of my couples live abroad.

We plan through:

• Email

• Video calls

• Detailed floral proposals

• Mood boards

• Venue walkthrough coordination with planners

You do not need to be in France to design your wedding flowers beautifully.

Do you work with wedding planners?

Absolutely. I collaborate regularly with destination wedding planners and venue coordinators across France.

If you do not yet have a planner, I can also recommend trusted professionals.

What floral styles do you specialize in?

Painted Bouquet is known for:

• Garden-inspired florals

• Romantic, painterly bouquets

• Chic minimal elegance

• Organic installations

• Refined color palettes

Each design is tailored to your venue architecture and overall wedding aesthetic.

Can you create large installations (arches, staircases, hanging florals)?

Yes.

I design:

• Ceremony arches

• Floral staircases

• Statement urns

• Reception centerpieces

• Long-table floral runners

• Hanging floral installations (where venue permits)

All structural work is done safely and professionally.

Do you offer flowers for elopements in Paris?

Yes. For intimate Paris elopements, I offer:

• Bridal bouquets

• Boutonnières

• Small ceremony arrangements

Elopement collections are available upon request.

Why choose an English-speaking wedding florist in France?

Working with an English-speaking florist who understands both French venues and international couples ensures:

• Smooth communication

• Clear contracts and expectations

• Budget transparency

• Stress-free planning

My goal is to make your floral experience feel calm, collaborative, and beautifully executed.
