The Renowned Floral Master Everyone in Paris Knows! Learn Wedding Bouquets from Georges François ♡
2021.08.05 published
A place known to every flower lover.
If I ever get the chance to travel to Paris, there’s a flower shop I want to visit for sure.
The shop of Georges François, a master florist known in France.
Georges François was born in 1942 and is nearing 80 years old.
He has been at the forefront of flower arrangements in Paris, handling arrangements and styling for numerous high-end brands.
There was even a time when a presidential aide would come by carriage to buy bouquets...
He is affectionately referred to as "Monsieur."
This shop gathers flower lovers from around the world and offers lessons. Monsieur loves Japan and has Japanese staff. It seems that lessons are also available in Japanese♡
If I could have a wedding or go on a honeymoon to Paris right now, I would love to take a bouquet lesson here and make my own bouquet, or have Georges François create one for me, and wear a dress to take wedding photos with the Eiffel Tower in the background... I long for that♡
(Even if it’s not for a honeymoon, if I have the opportunity to stay in Paris in the future, I would love to buy flowers here and decorate my hotel room with them!)
In France, it is common to buy and display flowers, even on ordinary days.
Monsieur goes to the market first thing every morning to procure flowers at the best price possible...
Just hearing that such an eminent person goes to the market early every morning makes me feel like “I need to do my best too,” and I learn that such seriousness and sincerity shapes the world.
The bouquets he arranges are truly beautiful.
In this article, I would like to share some clutches arranged by Monsieur Georges François, taken from his official Instagram*

There weren’t as many arrangements as the bouquets, but flower arrangements for tables were also posted on Georges François’ Instagram♡
I would like to share them as references for guest table decorations*

A beloved flower shop in Paris♡
Georges François, a florist who has been active for over 50 years.
The flower shop owned by him, who handles styling for high-end brands and has numerous VIP clients, only has one location in Paris and does not expand to multiple stores.
Originally, Monsieur sold vegetables. The shop also sells confitures made by a long-time friend.
(He apparently talks about how both vegetables and fruits bloom like flowers!)
In contrast to his glamorous career, the store is not large, but is filled with flowers and wonderful goods, reflecting his wonderful sense. It’s definitely one of the places I want to visit in my future life♡
