Frequently Asked Questions
What percentage of the wedding budget should go to flowers?
Wedding planners recommend allocating 8% to 12% of your overall wedding budget to flowers and floral decor. Couples who desire lavish floral arches and elevated centerpieces often allocate 15% to 20%.
Why are wedding flowers more expensive than grocery store flowers?
Wedding florists source premium commercial-grade blooms, condition stems days in advance so petals open to peak bloom exactly on your wedding day, build custom mechanics, transport delicate arrangements in refrigerated vans, and provide on-site labor.
What are the most budget-friendly wedding flowers?
Carnations, standard roses, hydrangeas, baby’s breath (gypsophila), and greenery foliage (Italian ruscus, silver dollar eucalyptus) offer high visual volume at very economical price points.
