How much should I Spend on Wedding Flowers?

Weddings can have different themes and styles, but one thing remains constant — flowers.

While foliage and succulents have made it to wedding décor and even the bride’s bouquet, fresh flowers still hold a special place in weddings. The wide range of shapes, colors, and scents can help you set the right tone and ambience for your wedding.

Weddings can be hugely expensive. In the US, the average wedding can set couples back by $33,391. The bulk of that is spent on the wedding dress, the venue, food, and photography.

Wedding flowers also make for a big chunk of the total wedding budget with the actual expense depending on the kind of flowers and the arrangements you choose.

What affects the cost of wedding flowers?

Several factors affect how much your floral wedding arrangements will cost.

Season

There are flowers that bloom all year round, or are restricted to a season. While some florists can import flowers that are not in season, seasonal blooms are always more affordable than others. Exotic or extremely delicate flowers with shorter lifespans are also more expensive.

Arrangements

The simpler the arrangements, the lower the cost. Complex arrangements with several floral varieties will cost more, especially when the florist is bringing the flowers from another city. The flowers that are locally available and in-season, in simple arrangements will prove to be more affordable.

Location

The location also plays a big role in the overall costs. For example, New York florists are more expensive. The source of the flowers may add to the price. Imported, exotic blooms cost more.

To save on wedding flowers, select –

  • seasonal flowers
  • locally grown flowers
  • look-alikes of the more expensive ones
  • add succulents and foliage to your arrangements
  • reuse ceremony/aisle flowers at the reception
