Weddings in the Graves
Getting married in the Graves and in Pessac-Léognan
South of Bordeaux, the châteaux of Pessac-Léognan host weddings in their cellars and parks. And on the road to the Bay, from Canéjan to Belin-Béliet, other estates and halls open their doors for celebrations. Here are the 25 venues that announce it, and what we can provide in floral arrangements for you.
The Graves are on our route: 35 to 50 minutes from the Gujan-Mestras shop.

Wonderful floral arrangements for our son's wedding: table decorations, church, and bridal bouquet. Excellent service and advice! You can really go there with your eyes closed 😁
Extremely satisfied with the bridal bouquet and the bridesmaid's bouquet... very professional, beautiful, high-quality work.
A big THANK YOU Dominique for decorating the UBA boat, the Greenboat, with flowers for our wedding this weekend. It was simply: perfect! ❣️
Your questions
Getting married in the Graves region: your questions
A question about your flowers? Call us, or stop by the shop in Gujan-Mestras.
Which châteaux in Pessac-Léognan host weddings?
In Léognan and Martillac, several estates are announcing it, such as Olivier, Malartic-Lagravière, Larrivet Haut-Brion, Le Thil, or Smith Haut Lafitte. Château Bouscaut, in Cadaujac, hosts weddings from June to August.
Can we get married in a château in the Graves region?
The civil marriage is celebrated at the town hall of the municipality where one of you resides. The secular ceremony and the reception can then take place at the château.
Are there any wedding venues between Bordeaux and the Arcachon Bay?
Yes: the Château de Rouillac and the Courneau rooms in Canéjan, restaurants in Cestas, Le Résinier in Le Barp, Le Volcelest and the Bergerie de Pernaud in Belin-Béliet.
Do you deliver and install flowers in the Graves region?
Yes. The Graves region is 35 to 50 minutes from our shop in Gujan-Mestras: we bring the bouquet, the boutonnieres, and the decor, and we set it all up before the guests arrive.
When should I book a florist for a wedding in Bordeaux?
Ideally 2 to 3 months before, once the venue is booked. For a wedding between May and September, the earlier the better.
