Mon avis sur MONSIEUR MARGUERITE : la solution parfaite pour un cadeau ?

When looking to have a bouquet of flowers delivered, there are plenty of online options available. Besides the classics like Interflora and Florajet, there are now companies trying to change the game by offering innovative bouquets made with seasonal, locally sourced flowers.

This is exactly what Mr. Marguerite offers, whether it’s a subscription to receive flowers monthly or a one-time order. I’ve tested this online florist several times so far: today, I invite you to discover my thoughts on it!

What exactly is Monsieur Marguerite?

👍 I Loved It

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

❌ What I Liked Less

• You must be available for delivery, otherwise a delay can affect the freshness of the flowers. It’s not possible to pick up the same day if the package is left at a pickup location.
• No deliveries on Sundays.

Dry Flower Bouquets 🌻

I’ve always wanted to have flowers in my home, but they only last about a week. So, I’ve recently 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. You can also find them in single flower vases and small boxes, which are very decorative! For my room, I fell in love with a floral wreath that looks stunning! 😍

Where do Monsieur Marguerite’s Flowers Come From?

Where Mr. Marguerite stands out from major chains like Interflora is that the brand offers 100% French flowers. So, while you may not receive roses in the middle of winter, you will get beautiful bouquets, full of scents, colors, and a variety of options.

Here are some of the producers that Mr. Marguerite works with to create his bouquets:

What does “Eco-friendly Florist” mean at Monsieur Marguerite?

Like in many other areas, there is also pollution in the flower production and sales industry: imported plants, greenhouses that are heated year-round, widespread 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 that are 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 explained earlier, and also respecting the natural rhythms by using only seasonal flowers. Environmental considerations are also part of the bouquet-making process, with the use of renewable materials (such as cardboard and kraft paper instead of plastic) and proper waste sorting.

Where does Mr. Marguerite deliver? 🌍

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

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

The goal is for the bouquet to be delivered as quickly as possible. They are sent out in the afternoon after being prepared, and they arrive 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 Prices?

I find that Mr. Marguerite offers rather fair prices considering the quality of the work provided compared to what you typically find in flower shops.

The Price of Fresh Flower Bouquets 💐

The starting price for a bouquet of fresh flowers is $28. This is for a “surprise” seasonal bouquet, meaning you don’t get to choose the color or varieties that make up your bouquet.

Otherwise, there are three price ranges:

Medium Bouquet “A Lot”	Large Bouquet “Passionately”	Giant Bouquet “Madly”
$38	$55	$85

The Price of Dried Flowers 🌻

Dry flower arrangements start at $30, which includes a white or pink bouquet:

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 home at regular intervals. Each arrangement is carefully packed in a box to maintain its freshness. Of course, the subscription can also be used as a thoughtful gift.

The concept is simple: everything is done from the website, in the “Subscription” section:

What are the possible options?

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

• Lots of Love: a beautiful bouquet valued at $38,
• Passionately: a large bouquet, valued at $55,
• Madly: an extra-large bouquet, valued at $85.

Regarding flower boots, they consist 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 need to decide between:

• A monthly subscription with automatic billing each month (not an option for gift purchases),
• 3 months,
• 6 months,
• or 12 months.

👉 If you choose a subscription length of 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 give a gift or choose a multi-month subscription, you are committed for the selected duration.

What flowers will be included in Monsieur Marguerite’s subscription bouquets?

As with the bouquets sold on the site, you’ll find seasonal flowers grown in France.

🌷 Between February and May, you can find, among others: mimosa, anemones, tulips, ranunculus, lily of the valley, carnations…

Spring is the time for lily of the valley!

🌞 Starting in May, you’ll be able to enjoy summer flowers, including bellflowers, thistles, peonies, roses, sunflowers…

Summer flowers: roses and delicate blooms in shades of pink!

🍂 In autumn, your bouquets will feature seasonal 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:

• Give a beautiful gift to someone you love,
• Regularly add flowers to your home to bring a touch of nature indoors,
• Green up company offices, a lodge, or guest rooms…

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

Can I pause my subscription if I go on vacation? 🌴

Yes, of course, it’s possible through your customer portal or by directly contacting the Monsieur Marguerite team.

What is the price of the Monsieur Marguerite flower subscription?

Depending on the chosen option, the price varies:

🔸 Monsieur Marguerite Pricing – Medium Bouquet “Plenty”

🔸 Monsieur Marguerite Pricing – Grand Bouquet “Passionately”

🔸 Monsieur Marguerite Pricing – Extra-Large Bouquet “Crazy for You”

👉 Even if you order 2 bouquets per month for a year, you’ll need to pay for everything upfront at the time of ordering, which can add up to a significant amount. If that’s too much, consider opting for a monthly payment plan without commitment instead! 😉

What Does a Flower Bouquet Shipped by Monsieur Marguerite Look Like?

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

Here’s a short video that shows you what to expect when you open your package:

It is especially noticeable that:

📦 The bouquet is carefully packaged and held securely in its flower cone. A damp pouch keeps it fresh and prevents it from wilting.

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

💬 The bouquet comes with an instruction guide on how to extend its lifespan as much as possible,

💧 There’s a small packet of flower preservative to add directly to the water, which will help keep your bouquet fresh and aid its recovery from transit!

Of course, you can purchase a bouquet on Monsieur Marguerite’s website, and that’s actually the primary purpose of this 100% digital florist. However, the gift subscription is an option worth considering if:

• You don’t know the exact address of the recipient,

💬 You can also include a short message to accompany the gift, and even add a photo!

Next, you can enter your billing information and proceed to payment. Accepted payment methods include standard credit cards like Visa and Mastercard.

My Verdict on Mr. Marguerite ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

For several years now, I have been regularly ordering flowers from Mr. Marguerite. I initially discovered this company through social media, and I quickly wanted to give it a try due to its eco-friendly commitments and clear, appealing communication.

Was it easy to place an order on Monsieur Marguerite’s website?

Yes! I think that the photos on the site are very beautiful and truly enticing. The surprise bouquet system, which changes with the seasons, is really great: you never get the same bouquet twice!

The only downside is not having 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 this is what I base my 5-star rating on! They are rustic and natural creations with a contemporary style. Each bouquet features many varieties of flowers, which is a refreshing change from the classic red rose bouquet!

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

Overall, I am quite satisfied with the delivery. The flowers have always arrived fresh, but that’s because I was present each time to pick up the package. It would be nice to be able to pick up the package on the same day at a pickup point 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 means you have 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 surprised me with a three-month subscription to Monsieur Marguerite, so I could receive bouquets of flowers.

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

✅ In summary, I highly recommend Monsieur Marguerite. The bouquets are stunning and of excellent quality. If you do encounter any issues, the customer service is responsive and easily reachable. 😉
