With more than 30 years of artisanal and creative expertise, and more than 20 years of online presence, Aquarelle is a pioneer of e-commerce: we are a family business that now collaborates with over 200 people who put flowers at the centre of their lives.
In 1997, the Maublanc brothers launched the first ever website specialising in home flower delivery. With Aquarelle.com it became possible to order a bouquet online and send it anywhere in France.
What’s more, Aquarelle guaranteed that the bouquet delivered would match the bouquet ordered online.
The same concept was then developed in Germany, with the Aquarelle.de website.
We have always worked with the best suppliers to ensure you receive bouquets composed with fresh, seasonal flowers that have optimal longevity.
According to the season, you will find our bunches of anemones, ranunculus, tulips and peonies grown by the best European producers in France, Italy, Netherlands...They are very attentive when it comes to growing their flowers.
Online does not mean machine made, especially for Aquarelle! Everyday, our florists lovingly hand-tie your bouquets. Nadège, Séverine, Sophie, Ludivine, Nathalie, Sandrine, Christelle and all our florists carefully prepare your bouquets, to ensure that you and your loved ones receive the best floral product. It’s thanks to them that the bouquets are so beautiful!
For our rose collection, we have chosen to collaborate with producers in Ethiopia. ‘Why Africa?’ you might ask.
Firstly, it’s sustainable: the African climate allows roses to grow naturally without the need for heated greenhouses.
Secondly, we ensure high safety standards: we strive to ensure that our pickers work in safe conditions and that they are in good health. They are equipped with suitable protective gear and have permanent access to medical treatment.
Lastly, we facilitate access to education: for each rose purchased, 15% of the price goes back to our Ethiopian farming partner, in order to finance social projects benefiting the flower-pickers and their communities. In 2019, we set up an educational bursary for the workers and their children.
We wanted to expand our offering with houseplants and outdoor potted plants, as well as with original gifts, including confectionery and chocolates and scented artisanal candles. This way, you can supplement your floral composition with some lovely presents, perfect for any occasion.
Our plants will bring joy to anyone with green-fingers! Plants offer us a special way to reconnect with nature - they decorate our homes and gardens, whilst also de-polluting those spaces.
Bougainvillea, Sicilian olive trees, orange trees, palms, calathea… you can choose to keep or offer the plant that you like the most and watch it grow over the course of days and months that follow. Truly satisfying!
We offer a large range of gourmand treats for the finest tastes: sweetshop bouquets, composed with sweets or chocolates, crystallised fruits, chocolate buttons, praline rochers, dark chocolates, fondant ganaches, pralines...
Our chocolates are made by hand in Strasbourg, France, using a French recipe. They are made using 100% pure cocoa butter.
Our scented candles are made in Spain using vegetable wax, and their scents are created especially for us by an artisan perfume maker in Grasse.
You can also choose from our selection of scents: Cedar, Fig, Fig Tree, Frangipane, Neroli Jasmine, Narcissus, Red Peony, Rose and Tuberose, or Rose.
We are committed to giving you the best floral experience every day.
