Cost of wedding flowers
In order to properly determine the actual cost of your wedding flowers, consultation is necessary. However, we have created this list as the guideline for “wedding flower costs” before you determine what flowers you’d like for your wedding. We have divided wedding flowers in four categories:
Modest – in size of the bouquets and value of flowers. Certain type of carnations, asters, daisies are fairly inexpensive. This is your average DIY backyard wedding ceremony
Standard – average in size of bouquets and value of flowers. Roses, carnations, certain type of lilies, baby’s breath, etc. Picture " fuss-free friendly gathering and wedding at your favorite restaurant"
Upscale – in size and/or flowers. Upscale combines hydrangeas with some calla lilies, few orchids, dahlias, roses. This is the type of wedding seen in blogs and specialty wedding magazine. Photo samples from Pinterest often include this category of weddings.
Stately – lush in size and type of flowers. Size does not always matter. Lily of the Valley, orchids, calla lilies… This is a wedding of up and coming celebrity
Categories can be combined - e.g. I want stately bouquet for myself but modest for the bridesmaids…
