“How much should we spend on our wedding flowers?”
‘How much should we spend on our wedding flowers?’ is a question we hear often, but it’s not an easy one to answer. We do gorgeous intimate weddings where just one bouquet & a buttonhole are required, right up to weddings full to the flowery brim with larger installations & beautiful blooms wherever the eye can see.
Every wedding and every couple are different – flowers might be right near the top of your ‘must-haves’ for your day… or they might be way down your list.
To help give you a better idea of potential costs and to give you an idea of what florals you can expect within different budget ranges, we’ve featured some examples of past weddings below.
(Everyone’s wedding budget is personal, so we’ve created these typical examples to guide you).
