If you’ve ever opened a wedding floral proposal and thought, “Wait, this costs how much?”—you’re not alone. Wedding flowers are one of the most misunderstood parts of wedding planning, and we totally get it.

At first glance, it's just flowers, right? But behind every bouquet, arch, or table centerpiece is a thoughtful, labor-intensive process that brings your vision to life.

So let’s talk numbers—and why they look the way they do.

What Affects the Price of Wedding Flowers?

1. Seasonal Availability: Want peonies in August? We’ll have to import them—and that adds up. Local, seasonal blooms are generally more affordable (and more sustainable!).

2. Flower Types: A rose is not just a rose. Some varieties are premium-grade and bred for color, longevity, or size. Specialty blooms like garden roses, orchids, or dahlias can be pricey.

3. Design Complexity: A simple hand-tied bouquet takes much less time than a lush cascading one. Arches, installations, and elaborate centerpieces require hours of prep and on-site design.

4. Labor & Time: Your wedding day might be one day, but your florist has been working on it for weeks—consulting, planning, ordering, prepping, arranging, and delivering.

5. Logistics: Delivery, setup, strike (tear-down), and rentals are all part of the package—and they often require a dedicated team on-site.

Why Wedding Florals Are Worth It

Floral design is more than placing flowers in a vase. It's about translating your style, your story, and your dream into living art. Your flowers are part of the experience—what you carry down the aisle, what surrounds you as you say “I do,” and what your guests admire all night long.

We’re not just selling flowers—we’re creating atmosphere, emotion, and beauty that lives on in your photos and memories.

Stretching Your Floral Budget

Trust your florist. We know what’s in season, what lasts, and what creates the most wow.

Focus on impact. A show-stopping arch or a floral staircase can set the scene like nothing else.

Repurpose designs. Aisle arrangements can become reception décor. Bridesmaid bouquets can dress the head table.

Stay flexible. Love a look, not a specific bloom. Your florist can guide you to the best seasonal substitutes.
