My Take on MONSIEUR MARGUERITE: The Perfect Gift Solution?

When you want to order a bouquet of flowers for delivery, there are plenty of options available online. Alongside the usual names like Interflora and Florajet, there are now companies trying to shake things up by offering innovative bouquets made with seasonal flowers sourced locally.

That's exactly what Mr. Marguerite offers, whether it's a subscription for receiving flowers monthly or a one-time order. I've tried out this online florist several times so far: today, I'm excited to share my thoughts on it with you!

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 industry,
• The quality of delivery,
• The wide selection available in the online store,
• The convenience of this 100% digital system,
• The subscription model,

❌ What I Liked Less

• You need to be present for the delivery, otherwise a delay might affect the freshness of the flowers. It's not possible to pick up on the same day if the parcel is left at a collection point.
• No deliveries on Sundays.

What products are sold on the site?

At Monsieur Marguerite, you can find everything you would expect from a traditional florist, including fresh and dried flowers, as well as green plants and succulents.

Dry Flower Bouquets 🌻

I've always wanted to have flowers at home, but they usually only last about a week. So, for some time now, I've chosen lovely bouquets of dried flowers to create a bohemian decor and a warm atmosphere for my home.

Monsieur Marguerite offers beautiful bouquets of colourful dried flowers! They also come in soliflores and small boxes, which are very decorative! For my bedroom, I fell in love with a floral wreath, and it looks absolutely stunning! 😍

Green Plants and Succulents 🌵

Monsieur Marguerite also offers a delightful selection of beautiful green plants, perfect for decorating your home or as a gift. There are many varieties of succulents and cacti for those who tend to forget to water their plants!

For budding gardeners, there are even green plant growing kits. It's a brilliant gift idea for a child or a plant enthusiast! If you need it, you can also find potting soil on the website. 😉

Flower Subscriptions: The Perfect Décor & Gift Idea!

Mr. Marguerite also offers floral subscriptions. The concept is simple: you specify the recipient and the size of the bouquet, and the florists at Mr. Marguerite will create it using seasonal flowers and deliver it at your chosen frequency.

Whether it's to brighten up your home or to give a fantastic gift, Monsieur Marguerite's subscriptions are truly an original concept. I've had the chance to try it out at home for a few months, and I've really fallen in love with this system that allows you to regularly receive a beautiful surprise bouquet at your doorstep!

Where do the flowers come from, Mr. Marguerite?

What sets Monsieur Marguerite apart from large chains like Interflora is that the brand offers 100% French flowers. So, while you might not receive roses in the middle of winter, you will get stunning bouquets, filled with a variety of scents, colours, and types.

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

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

Just like in many other industries, there is pollution in the world of flower production and sales: imported plants, greenhouses heated all year round, heavy use of fertilizers and pesticides, 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 has made several commitments:

It's about supporting the local economy by engaging local producers, as I mentioned earlier, and also respecting nature's rhythm by using only seasonal flowers. Eco-friendliness is also a consideration in bouquet making, with the use of renewable materials (cardboard and kraft paper instead of plastic) and proper 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 you choose for delivery? 📅

Which courier delivers Monsieur Marguerite orders?

This online florist works with express couriers such as:

The aim is to deliver the bouquet as quickly as possible. They are dispatched in the afternoon after being arranged, and they arrive either a few hours later in the Paris region or the next day before 1 PM in the rest of France.

What are Monsieur Marguerite's rates?

I find that Mr. Marguerite offers quite reasonable prices for the quality of work he provides, especially compared to what you usually find in florist shops.

The Price of Fresh Flower Bouquets 💐

The starting price for a fresh flower bouquet is S$28. This is a "surprise" bunch of seasonal flowers, meaning you don't get to choose the colour or the varieties in your bouquet.

S$ 38	S$ 55	S$ 85

How does the Monsieur Marguerite subscription work?

Monsieur Marguerite offers a floral subscription that allows you to receive a bouquet of flowers or a bunch of fresh flowers delivered directly to your home at regular intervals. Each delivery is carefully packaged to maintain their freshness. Of course, this subscription can also be used to send a gift.

The concept is straightforward: everything can be done on the website, under 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:

• Plenty: a beautiful bouquet worth S$38,
• Passionately: a large bouquet, worth S$55,
• Madly: a very large bouquet, worth S$85.

As for the flower boots, it's a single variety of seasonal flowers. To get an idea of what you might receive, you can check out Monsieur Marguerite's seasonal flowers calendar!

What is the subscription schedule at Monsieur Marguerite?

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

• A monthly subscription with payment deducted every month (not an option for gifting),
• 3 months,
• 6 months,
• or 12 months.

👉 If you choose a subscription duration of several months, your subscription will end at the end of that period. You will need to renew your subscription to continue receiving your flowers.

Is there a commitment at Monsieur Marguerite?

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

Which flowers will be included in the bouquets from Monsieur Marguerite subscriptions?

Just like the bouquets available on the site, you will find seasonal flowers that are grown in France.

🌷 Between February and May, you can find a variety of flowers including: mimosa, anemones, tulips, ranunculus, lily of the valley, and carnations...

Spring is the time for lily of the valley!

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

Summer Flowers: Roses and Blooms in Shades of Pink!

🍂 In autumn, your bouquets will feature seasonal flowers such as dahlias, alstromeria, lisianthus, marigolds, viburnum, roses, and chrysanthemums...

⛄ During winter, it’s the season for ranunculus, mimosa, tulips, and anemones...

Who are the Monsieur Marguerite flower subscriptions for?

The concept of a flower subscription is perfect for:

• Giving a lovely gift to someone you care about,
• Regularly adding flowers to your home and bringing a touch of nature inside,
• Greening up office spaces, a guesthouse, or B&Bs...

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

Can I pause my subscription if I'm going on holiday? 🌴

Yes, of course, you can do this through your client account or by directly contacting the Monsieur Marguerite team.

What is the price of the Monsieur Marguerite flower subscription?

Depending on the option selected, the price varies:

🔸 Monsieur Marguerite Pricing - Medium Bouquet "Plenty"

🔸 Monsieur Marguerite Pricing - Grand Bouquet "Passionately"

🔸 Monsieur Marguerite Prices - Extra-Large Bouquet "Crazy for You"

👉 Even if you were to order 2 bouquets each month for a year, you'd have to pay the full amount upfront when you place your order, which could be quite a bit. If that sounds like too much, consider opting for the monthly payment plan without any commitments instead! 😉

What Does a Flower Bouquet from Monsieur Marguerite Look Like?

I've placed several orders with Monsieur Marguerite, and I was even given a subscription: in every case, I’ve always been impressed by the freshness of the bouquet when it arrives in the package.

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

It is especially noted that:

📦 The bouquet is nicely wrapped and kept in its flower cone. A damp pouch helps to keep it fresh and prevents it from wilting,

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

💬 The bouquet comes with a guide on how to maximise its lifespan,

💧 There's a small packet of flower preservative that you can add directly to the water to keep your bouquet looking fresh and help it recover from the journey!

Check out the "Monsieur Marguerite Subscription Gift Card"!

Thinking of gifting a flower subscription to someone special? Monsieur Marguerite offers a simple system, and I’ll explain the details in the following lines.

Why give a Monsieur Marguerite gift card instead of a bouquet?

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

• You want to give a beautiful gift that lasts to someone who loves flowers,
• You have a bit of a budget (group gift, special occasion): the most affordable subscription is SGD 110 for 3 months,
• You don’t know the exact address of the recipient,
• You prefer to let them choose when to start their offer,
• You want to create an unforgettable surprise!

🤑 The great thing about the subscription is that the shipping fees are included in the total price!

To do this, just visit the Monsieur Marguerite website and head over to the "Subscription" section in the main menu. Then, you can click on "I Gift" and set up your subscription:

💬 You can also add a short message that will be attached to the gift, and even include a photo!

Next, you can enter your billing details and proceed to payment. The accepted payment methods include major credit cards like Visa or Mastercard.

My Verdict on Monsieur Marguerite ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

It has been several years since I’ve been regularly ordering flowers from Monsieur Marguerite. I first discovered this company through social media and I was quickly drawn to try it out because of their eco-friendly commitments and clear, attractive communication.

Was it easy to order from Monsieur Marguerite's website?

Yes! I think that the photos on the website are really beautiful 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 we don't have a clearer idea of the size of the bouquet, such as an approximate diameter or an average number of flowers.

What did I think of the arrangements provided by this online florist?

The bouquets are stunning, and it's this that makes me give them a 5-star rating! These are rustic and natural creations with a contemporary style. Each bouquet features a variety of flowers, which is a refreshing change from the classic red rose bouquet!

What do I think about the delivery of my Monsieur Marguerite order?

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

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

Do I recommend the Monsieur Marguerite subscription system?

This year, for Valentine’s Day, my partner decided to switch things up a bit and got me a three-month subscription to Monsieur Marguerite, so I can receive bouquets of flowers.

As I love making flower arrangements, I was able to set them up 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 really pleased with this subscription!

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