My Thoughts on MONSIEUR MARGUERITE: The Perfect Gift Solution?

When looking to have a bouquet of flowers delivered, there are many online options available. In addition to the classics like Interflora and Florajet, there are now companies trying to shake things up by offering innovative bouquets, crafted with seasonal flowers sourced locally.

This is exactly what Mr. Marguerite offers, whether it’s a subscription for receiving flowers monthly or a one-time order. I've already tried this online florist several times so far: today, I'm excited to share what I thought of it!

What Exactly is Monsieur Marguerite?

👍 I Loved It

• The beauty and volume of the bouquets,
• Their freshness,
• The brand's commitment to supporting the French flower industry,
• The quality of delivery,
• The wide selection available in the online store,
• The convenience of this 100% digital system,
• The subscription service,

❌ What I Liked Less

• You must be present for the delivery; otherwise, a delay could affect the freshness of the flowers. It is not possible to pick up the package on the same day if it is dropped off at a pick-up point.
• No deliveries on Sunday.

Dry Flower Bouquets 🌻

I’ve always wanted to have flowers in my home, but they only last about a week. So for a while now, I’ve chosen beautiful bouquets of dried flowers to create a bohemian decor and a welcoming atmosphere in my home.

Mr. Marguerite offers beautiful bouquets of colorful dried flowers! They also come in single stem vases and small boxes, which are very decorative! For my room, I fell in love with a floral wreath that looks absolutely stunning! 😍

Where Do Monsieur Marguerite's Flowers Come From?

Where Mr. Marguerite stands out from large chains like Interflora is that the brand offers 100% Canadian flowers. So, while you might not receive roses in the middle of winter, you will enjoy stunning bouquets filled with a variety of scents, colours, and types.

Here are some of the producers that Mr. Marguerite relies on to create his bouquets:

What does "Eco-friendly Florist" mean at Monsieur Marguerite?

Like in many other industries, there is pollution in the world of flower production and sales: imported plants, greenhouses heated year-round, extensive use of fertilizers and pesticides, and single-use plastic packaging...

What I appreciated about Monsieur Marguerite is that the brand actively fights against waste and offers us ethical and local flowers, grown with respect for the environment.

Mr. Marguerite makes several commitments:

This is about supporting the local economy by working with local producers, as I mentioned earlier, but it's also about respecting the natural rhythm by using only seasonal flowers. Ecology also plays a role in the creation of the bouquets, with the use of renewable materials (cardboard and kraft instead of plastic) and waste sorting.

Where does Mr. Marguerite deliver? 🌍

Mr. Marguerite delivers his bouquets and plants in mainland France and Monaco.

Which days of the week can we choose for delivery? 📅

Which carrier delivers Monsieur Marguerite orders?

The goal is to have the bouquet delivered as quickly as possible. They are sent out in the afternoon after being prepared, arriving either a few hours later in the Paris area, or the next day before 1 PM in the rest of France.

What are Monsieur Marguerite's pricing?

I find that Mr. Marguerite offers quite reasonable prices for the quality of the work provided compared to what is typically found in florist shops.

The starting price for a bouquet of fresh flowers is $28 CAD. This is a "surprise" bouquet featuring seasonal flowers, where you don't get to choose the colours or varieties included in your arrangement.

Otherwise, there are three price ranges:

Medium Bouquet "Lots"	Large Bouquet "Passionately"	Giant Bouquet "Madly"
$38	$55	$85

The Price of Dried Flowers 🌻

How Does the Monsieur Marguerite Subscription Work?

Mr. Marguerite offers a floral subscription that allows you to receive fresh flower bouquets or bunches of flowers delivered directly to your doorstep on a regular basis. Each arrangement is carefully packed in a box to maintain freshness. Of course, you can also use the subscription to give a thoughtful gift.

The principle is simple: everything is done from the website, in the "Subscription" section:

What options are available?

When it comes to bouquets, you can choose from three sizes, which were mentioned earlier in this article:

• Much: a lovely bouquet valued at $38,
• Passionately: a large bouquet, valued at $55,
• Madly: a very large bouquet, valued at $85.

Regarding the flower boots, this consists of a single variety of seasonal flowers. To get an idea of what you might receive, you can check out the seasonal flower calendar from Monsieur Marguerite!

What is the subscription frequency at Monsieur Marguerite?

You can choose to receive flowers once or twice a month. As for the duration of the subscription, you'll need to decide between:

• A monthly subscription with automatic billing every month (not an option if it's a gift),
• 3 months,
• 6 months,
• or 12 months.

👉 If you choose a subscription lasting several months, your subscription will end once that period is over. You will need to re-subscribe to continue receiving your flowers.

Is there a commitment at Monsieur Marguerite?

There is no commitment if you choose the monthly subscription. However, if you are giving a gift or opting for a multi-month subscription, you are committed for the selected duration.

What flowers will be included in the Monsieur Marguerite subscription bouquets?

Like the bouquets sold on the site, you will find seasonal flowers grown in Canada.

🌷 Between February and May, you can find various flowers such as: mimosa, anemones, tulips, ranunculus, lily of the valley, and carnation...

Spring is the time for lily of the valley!

🌞 Starting in May, you can look forward to summer flowers, including bellflowers, thistles, peonies, roses, and sunflowers...

🍂 In the fall, your bouquets will feature autumn flowers such as dahlias, alstroemeria, lisianthus, marigolds, viburnum, roses, and chrysanthemums...

Who are Monsieur Marguerite's flower subscriptions for?

The concept of a flower subscription is perfect for:

• Giving a lovely gift to someone we care about,
• Regularly adding flowers to our home and bringing a touch of nature inside,
• Greening up office spaces, a bed and breakfast, or guest rooms...

👉 One of the benefits of this concept is that you won't forget to pick up your bouquet! It will be delivered directly to your home or workplace.

Can you pause your subscription if you're going on vacation? 🌴

Yes, of course, it's possible from your client area or by directly contacting the Monsieur Marguerite team.

What is the price of the Monsieur Marguerite flower subscription?

Depending on the option chosen, the price varies:

🔸 Monsieur Marguerite Pricing - Medium-sized Bouquet "Lots"

🔸 Monsieur Marguerite Pricing - Grand Bouquet "Passionately"

🔸 Monsieur Marguerite Pricing - Extra-Large Bouquet "To Madness"

👉 Even if you order 2 bouquets per month for a year, you need to pay the entire amount upfront at the time of the order, which can be quite a sum. If that feels like too much, consider opting for the monthly payment plan with no commitment! 😉

What Does a Bouquet of Flowers from Monsieur Marguerite Look Like?

I’ve placed several orders with Monsieur Marguerite, and I was even gifted a subscription. In every instance, I have always been impressed by the freshness of the bouquet when it arrives in its package.

Here’s a short video to give you an idea of what to expect when you open your package:

It is particularly noticeable that:

📦 The bouquet is well packaged and secured in its flower wrap. A damp pouch keeps it fresh and prevents wilting.

💐 The flowers are varied and colourful, in excellent condition,

💬 The bouquet comes with an instruction guide on how to maximize its lifespan,

💧 There’s a small packet of flower preservative to dissolve directly into the water, keeping your bouquet fresh and helping it recover from its journey!

My Verdict on Monsieur Marguerite ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I've been regularly ordering flowers from Monsieur Marguerite for several years now. I initially discovered this company through social media, and I quickly wanted to give it a try because of its eco-friendly commitments and clear, appealing communication.

Was ordering from Monsieur Marguerite's website easy?

Yes! I think that the photos on the website are stunning and very appealing. The surprise bouquet system that changes with the seasons is really great: you never get the same bouquet twice!

The only downside is that there isn’t a clearer idea of the bouquet size, such as an approximate diameter or an average number of flowers.

What Did I Think of the Arrangements Delivered by This Online Florist?

The bouquets are stunning, and it's on this aspect that I base my 5-star rating! They are rustic and natural creations, in a contemporary style. Each bouquet features a wide variety of flowers, offering a refreshing alternative to the classic bouquet of red roses!

What is my opinion on the delivery of my Monsieur Marguerite order?

Overall, I’m quite satisfied with the delivery. The flowers always arrived fresh, but that’s because I was there to pick up the package each time. It would be great to be able to pick up the package on the same day at a pickup location if we’re not home at the time of delivery, rather than having to wait until the next day.

Mr. Marguerite does not deliver on Sundays, which also means you need to plan ahead for certain holidays. It's not a big deal, but it does require some organization!

Do I recommend the Monsieur Marguerite subscription system?

This year for Valentine's Day, my partner decided to switch things up a bit and gifted me a three-month subscription to Monsieur Marguerite, allowing me to receive fresh flower bouquets.

Since I love making bouquets, I was able to arrange them myself in the vases, and I really enjoyed this experience! I received anemones, tulips, and ranunculus, all super fresh and of excellent quality. I was able to keep my bouquets for at least ten days each. I'm truly delighted with this subscription!

✅ To sum it up, I highly recommend Monsieur Marguerite. The bouquets are stunning and of excellent quality. If you happen to encounter any issues, the customer service is responsive and easy to reach. 😉
