Wedding florists in the Var
Bouquet, buttonholes, ceremony arch, centrepieces: flowers set the tone for the decor. In Provence, olive, lavender and seasonal blooms sit naturally against old stone.

Florists in the Var
Our directory of florists in the Var is still being put together. In the meantime, the advice below will help you choose well.
Seasonal flowers
Seasonal flowers are more beautiful, fresher and often cheaper. Ask your florist what will be in season on your wedding date, and start from there rather than from a photo you found online.
Heat, the enemy of flowers
In high summer in the Var, flowers wilt quickly outdoors. A florist who knows the region will favour plants that stand up better to the heat, such as olive, eucalyptus or ornamental grasses, and will put the arrangements in place at the last minute.
Giving flowers a second life
To make your budget go further, have the arrangements reused: the ceremony arch can decorate the top table, and the bridesmaids' bouquets can dress the buffet. Ask your florist, who will organise the move during the drinks reception.
Questions to ask
- Are setting up and clearing away included?
- Who collects the equipment, such as vases and structures, after the wedding?
- Which flowers will be in season on our date?
- Can you visit the venue before the wedding?

Frequently asked questions
- When should we book our wedding florist?
- Six to nine months ahead, once the venue and the style of decor are settled.
- Which flowers cope with the heat at a summer wedding?
- Foliage such as olive and eucalyptus, ornamental grasses and dried flowers hold up better than delicate blooms. Ask your florist for advice.
- Can we reuse the ceremony flowers at the reception?
- Yes, it is a good way to save money: the arch and the ceremony arrangements can be moved to the reception area.
