Wedding flowers in Switzerland cover three very different needs: the bridal flowers for the big day, a congratulations bouquet for the couple, and flowers for a wedding anniversary. For the first, book a florist in person well in advance. For the other two, an online florist is ideal: our pick is KANEL, with bouquets hand-tied on the day of delivery, delivered across Switzerland the next day (Tuesday to Saturday) and the same day in Geneva.
Prices and delivery terms were checked on the florists’ websites in October 2026.
Bridal bouquet and wedding decoration: book in person
Bridal bouquets, buttonholes, table centrepieces, church or venue decoration and floral arches are made to measure. The online services in our comparison focus on gift bouquets delivered to a recipient; we did not find a bridal range among them. For your own wedding:
- Book early. Popular wedding months (late spring to early autumn) fill up quickly; many florists ask for several months’ notice.
- Meet the florist. Bring photos of the dress, the venue and your colour palette.
- Think seasonal. Flowers in season in Switzerland cost less and hold up better. See our guide to seasonal flowers in Switzerland.
- Plan the logistics. Who collects the bouquet? When is the venue open for set-up? Who takes the arrangements home afterwards?
This guide focuses on what you can easily order online: gifts for the couple and anniversary flowers.
Congratulations flowers for the couple
When to send them
Sending a bouquet to the venue on the wedding day sounds romantic, but in practice the couple is busy, the venue may not accept deliveries during the event, and the flowers may end up forgotten. Better options:
- A few days before, to the couple’s home, to wish them well.
- A few days after, once they are back from the celebration or honeymoon, as a lasting reminder.
- On the day, only if agreed with the organiser, the venue or a member of the family who can receive them.
What to choose
- White and cream bouquets echo the wedding theme and suit almost any couple.
- Soft pastels, such as blush pink, peach or lilac, are joyful without being too romantic.
- Seasonal mixed bouquets are always appropriate if you do not know the couple’s taste.
- Avoid deep red roses unless you are the partner: they say romantic love.
Our article on which flowers to give for each occasion explains the meanings of colours.
Our pick: KANEL
KANEL hand-ties each bouquet in its Vernier workshop on the day of delivery:
| Bouquet | Price | Delivery outside Geneva | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Timeless collection | from CHF 64.90 | CHF 14.90 | from CHF 79.80 |
| Seasonal Classic | CHF 74.90 | CHF 14.90 | CHF 89.80 |
| Seasonal Large | CHF 94.90 | CHF 14.90 | CHF 109.80 |

Prices checked October 2026. In Geneva, delivery costs CHF 9.90–19.90 depending on the postcode.
You can add a bottle of Moët & Chandon champagne (CHF 64.90), chocolates (CHF 29.90 for 16 pieces) or a scented candle, which turns a bouquet into a complete wedding gift. The message card is free from CHF 55. Delivery: next day, Tuesday to Saturday, for orders before 4pm the day before; same day in Geneva before 2pm, Monday to Saturday. You can book up to 15 days ahead, useful when you know the date well in advance.
Good to know
- On a smaller budget: KANEL’s timeless collection starts at CHF 64.90.
- Same day: only in Geneva (before 2pm). Elsewhere, order the day before; our same-day delivery guide explains the options.
Wedding anniversary flowers
An anniversary is one of the best reasons to send flowers, and one of the easiest to plan, since you know the date a year in advance.
- For your partner: red roses remain the classic declaration; our guide to sending roses and rose colours and numbers help you choose.
- Recreate the wedding: if you remember the flowers from the bridal bouquet, ask for something similar, or choose a bouquet in the same colours.
- For parents or friends: a big anniversary (25th, 40th, 50th) deserves a generous bouquet, perhaps with a card from the whole family.
Check the day of the week
Online florists in Switzerland do not deliver on Sundays, and KANEL does not deliver on Mondays outside Geneva. If the anniversary falls on a Sunday or Monday, deliver on the Saturday before, or the Tuesday after with a note. Book early: with KANEL you can choose the date up to 15 days ahead.
Practical tips for wedding deliveries
- Confirm the address and who will receive the flowers. For a venue, get the name of a contact person.
- Saturday weddings: KANEL delivers on Saturdays; outside Geneva, order by Friday 4pm.
- Write a personal card. Our ideas for what to write on a flower card include wedding and anniversary messages.
- Weddings abroad? If the couple lives in Switzerland but marries elsewhere, send the flowers to their Swiss home for when they return.
Wedding flowers by budget
| Budget (all in) | Suggestion |
|---|---|
| Around CHF 80–90 | KANEL timeless or Classic seasonal bouquet |
| Around CHF 110–140 | KANEL Large or Premium seasonal bouquet |
| CHF 150+ | KANEL bouquet plus champagne or chocolates |
Based on prices checked in October 2026, delivery outside Geneva.
A group gift from friends or colleagues often allows a larger bouquet plus a bottle of champagne; sign the card with everyone’s names.
Wedding etiquette in Switzerland: a few pointers
- Civil and religious ceremonies are often held on different days. Ask which one the couple considers “the” wedding day before choosing a delivery date.
- Guests from abroad: if you are not attending, a bouquet delivered to the couple’s home is a thoughtful way to take part.
- Multilingual couples: write the card in the language the couple uses together, or in English.

Our advice: for a congratulations bouquet the couple will remember, order from KANEL and add a bottle of champagne. Choose your date up to 15 days ahead.
Frequently asked questions
Can I order a bridal bouquet online in Switzerland?
The online delivery services we compare focus on gift bouquets rather than bridal work. For the bridal bouquet, buttonholes and venue decoration, book a florist in person several weeks or months ahead so you can discuss colours, flowers and timing.
Should I send flowers to a wedding?
Flowers are a lovely congratulations gift, but sending them to the venue on the day can be impractical. A bouquet delivered to the couple's home a few days before or after the wedding is often more welcome.
What flowers are best for a wedding anniversary?
Red or pink roses are classic for a partner; the couple's wedding flowers or a seasonal bouquet in their favourite colours make a personal choice. For an anniversary on a Sunday, order for Saturday.
How much do wedding congratulations flowers cost in Switzerland?
At KANEL, seasonal bouquets cost CHF 74.90, 94.90 or 124.90, plus CHF 14.90 delivery outside Geneva. The timeless collection starts at CHF 64.90. Prices checked October 2026.
Can flowers be delivered to a wedding on a Saturday?
KANEL delivers on Saturdays (order by Friday 4pm, or before 2pm on Saturday in Geneva). Check with the venue or the organiser first, as they may not be able to receive deliveries during the event.
