Planning Your Floral Budget
There is a lot of flexibility when it comes to sorting through a budget for your wedding flowers, and it’s important to know, as a couple, how important fresh flowers are for your day.
As a good rule of thumb, we suggest your floral investment account for 15% of your overall wedding budget. Most of our couples spend between $5,000-$7,500, but some spend less or budget more based on their preferences.
If you are looking for Pinterest-worthy, abundant designs, accompanied with hire decor and multitudes of candles we would suggest allocating 25-30% of the total wedding budget towards your floral styling.
We have put together a quick summary of example wedding flower budgets and what you can expect to receive from us within that range. Like everything else wedding-related there are so many ‘what ifs’ and ‘except this’ scenarios.
Remember, it’s your day and it should reflect your taste and style.
Under $2,000 (studio collection)
- Most often, this will allow for bridal bouquet, bridesmaid bouquets as well as buttonholes for the groom and groomsmen. Depending on the number in the wedding party, it could account for buttonholes and corsages for additional family members.
- If you are having a very intimate wedding and no bridal party, it could account for your bouquet, a buttonhole as well as a floral feature on the bar or main table.
$2,500 – $5,000
- Depending on the wedding party size, this will cover personal flowers and allows for simple table decorations at the reception (eg, bud vases & candles).
Or, instead of table flowers, this would allow for a gorgeous feature at the ceremony. - Typically, our A-la-Carte services including wedding party, ceremony features, reception flowers, delivery and set up, will fit nicely in this range.

$6,000 – $8,500
- This range typically covers gorgous wedding party florals, a lush feature element at the ceremony & simple touches for a reception. E.g; a floral arbour, head-table flowers & classic floral 'clouds' for up to 8 guest tables.
- If you're having an intimate celebration with under 50 guests this would ensure a fabulous visual immersion from ceremony floral towers to full-flowing reception centerpieces.
$8,500 – $11,500
- This range falls within our typical weddings of 85 -110 guests - for couples who know the importance and impact the natural beauty of flowers will make on their day.
- Most often, this includes couture-crafted personal flowers, a gorgeous floral statement at the ceremony, full garden centerpeices, candles & additional hire and styling items for both ceremony & reception.
$12,000 – $16,500
- With this budget, we are often looking at a collection of lush premium personal flowers, unforgettable statement designs at your ceremony, and glorious couture centerpieces & candles for a seated reception of up to 180.
Depending on the style and number of centerpieces, the budget could also allow for a devine suspended floral feature, or full floral pillars.
It’s almost impossible to provide all the details on every budget because every couple’s wedding is unique. The above looks to provide some guidance on what items can be accounted for within a price range but is by no means a complete list.
From our perspective, we’re thrilled to work with couples regardless of their budget. We are always happy to provide suggestions on where the money is best spent and how to make the greatest impact on the day.
