The cost of wedding flowers is affected by everything from your color palette to your must-have blooms to your guest count. However, many “behind the scenes” aspects play a role in the cost of wedding flowers. This includes the time and expertise it takes to create these living works of art. Hiring a florist who specializes in wedding work is worth every penny! Especially if you have dreams of flower walls and Instagram-worthy “wow” moments for your wedding day!

How much should I budget for my wedding flowers and decor?
We get asked this often. Pricing, just like your wedding, is unique.
Remember, it’s an investment in the day just like the food, the photography, and the dress. We create the ambiance that sets the mood and gives your photographer all those beautiful details to capture.
The right flowers and decor elevate the occasion from just a party to a wedding; something timeless you’ll revisit years to come with your children and grandchildren.
While it is difficult to provide a blanket total for florals and decor, on average, our clients budget $3,500-$35,000+ for flowers and decorations.
This, of course, can vary drastically on what your needs and wants are for the day. One couple may want specialty linens, large arrangements for the reception, and more expensive flower varieties, while another might be utilizing the linens provided by the venue and want a more simple centerpiece. The size of the guest list and bridal party also play a big part in budget allocation. A guest list of 100 with a $10,000 budget has more wiggle room to play than a guest list of 300 with the same budget.
It’s important to know that we are here to help maximize your resources and guide you through the process of choosing the perfect combination of elements to achieve the most impact.
Are you thinking “BUT that doesn’t answer my question?!”
If we had to give a number we recommend anywhere between 10-15% of your ENTIRE wedding budget going to flowers. This number is dependent on how truly important your flowers are to you. Of course to us, they are the most important.
