FAQs
How soon should I reach out to a wedding florist?
We recommend at least 6 months to a year prior to your wedding date. We have worked with some couples the month of or even week of but to guarantee security and a stress-free planning process, the sooner you reach out the better. For weddings booked 4 weeks or less before the wedding date we charge a rush fee.
What do I need before reaching out to a wedding florist?
Not much! You don't have to have it all figured out because that's what we are here for. We do recommend to have the date and venue or at least general area decided. We then can walk you through the rest and help you find your aesthetic and the vibe you want.
How much do wedding flowers usually cost?
There is a lot of variability when it comes to wedding flower prices. At a minimum, we suggest allocating 10-15% of your total wedding budget to cover your wedding flowers.
If you’re after more ‘wow’ factor and want flowers be a significant component to the day then we would recommend allocating 25-30% of your total budget to flowers.
How do I ensure my wedding flowers stay fresh throughout the day?
We'll take that stress off your chest! We’ll coordinate the delivery of your bouquets in the late morning, ideally right before the photographer arrives.
Our bouquets are professionally packed with a water source so they are hydrated and perky until the moment you walk down the aisle.
Pro tip: It’s best to keep them in a cool, dark place—out of the way of potential heavy foot traffic.
Do I need to know my wedding theme or aesthetic?
Nope, not at all! We do suggest that you do a little research and spend a few minutes on Pinterest to gather some inspiration photos. This helps you communicate your preferences and vision—just 5 to 10 inspiration photos can point us in the right direction.
Don’t panic though, cause you definitely don’t need to have every detail nailed down. You certainly don’t have to know the names of the flowers (but we are happy to share our flower knowledge with you!). We’ve managed hundreds and hundreds of weddings and know what looks good. We’re always happy to provide suggestions and options to bring your floral vision to life.

What factors influence the cost of wedding flowers?
The three main factors contributing to the cost of your wedding flowers comes down to seasonality, complexity, and selection.
- Seasonal Availability: Opting for flowers in season can significantly impact cost and ensure freshness. If you're dreaming of tulips for your winter wedding, you will have to pay extra.
- Arrangement Complexity: Elaborate designs and intricate arrangements may lead to additional costs.
- Flower Selection: Different blooms come with different price tags, so your choice of flowers plays a key role. Delicate flowers like orchids and peonies will cost you three to four times as much as daisies and carnations.
How do I save on my wedding flowers?
- Choose Cost-Effective Flowers: Select blooms that align with your vision and wallet. Roses, carnations, and baby’s breath can be beautiful and affordable.
- Repurpose Ceremony Flowers: If possible, repurpose ceremony flowers for the reception to maximize their use.
- Opt for Seasonal Blooms: Embrace the beauty of what’s in season. It not only enhances freshness but can also be more budget-friendly.
- Prioritize Quality Over Quantity: Focus on flower arrangements that will make the most impact throughout your wedding. Some couples opt to leave out bridesmaid bouquets because they serve only one purpose during the ceremony.
