I have NO idea how much to budget towards flowers??

I am planning a blush/greenery wedding so I would love the flowers to be the main aspect of the wedding with big unruly bouquets and the main aspect of the tablescape to be flowers whether it be a garland if we have longer tables or circular if we end up with round tables.

I would also need 7 bridesmaids bouquets and a bridal bouquet which I plan to reuse at the top table. Also we would want to do both corners of our wedding arch.

I have attached photos to help put images to words, but still stumped on the cost.

    Spent about $450 for flowers for a small 45 guest wedding, including garland for sweetheart table, my bouq., his bout, flowers for like 10 tables altogether and some for ceremony. Check Sams club and BJS wholesale flowers, you can save a lot!

    I will be posting pics from my delivery. setting up and review sams club's service!

    I will say that what you envision and are describing is going to be pretty expensive.


    Contrary to popular belief, live greenery isn't cheaper than real flowers- and depending on the type, can sometimes cost you more.


    With 7 bridesmaids, you may want to consider the cost of bouquets as well. I have 8 bridesmaids and my bouquets, all large single flowers with greenery and queen anne's lace, are $35 a piece. These aren't large at all.


    If you know that florals are a priority for your wedding and this is absolutely what you have to have, understand you may need/want to prioritize florals over some other aspects of your wedding.

    My guess, based on my own floral contract, is that this will be $3000+

    We too are doing a lot of greenery. The bride bouquet is pretty elaborate but a medium size, and we have 4 bridesmaid bouquets which are eucalyptus with a big colorful dahlia in the center. We have 4 boutonnieres and 4 corsages for moms and grandmothers. We are also reusing the bridal party bouquets for reception decoration. Our florist quoted around $1300, which is very reasonable!

    We are going for mostly fake flowers and greenery for decoration so it round in about $200 but we might add real baby breath for centerpieces so im guessing another $50 since its only for 5 tables. Tiny 25 guest wedding here!

    We're spending $2500 for our florals including my bouquet (it'll be a larger bouquet and very textural), 5 bridesmaids (theirs will be smaller versions of mine), reception centerpieces, boutonnieres for groomsmen, dads, ushers, floral cuffs for moms, dessert bar decoration, head table, reception arch, dog collar (our dogs will be either in photos or the ceremony as well – we're going to test out how they are during the rehearsal), and flower girl crowns/baskets.

    I think the florals were a bit pricier than we had anticipated, but the florist we're going with is just amazing and my FH and I really love flowers/greenery, so this was important for us. The florist is also putting liners in the centerpiece vessels so we can take everything home with us at the end of the night Smiley smile

    It all depends on where you are getting married and your ideas are GORGEOUS. I would say $8K to $10K out where we are in Northern Virginia and $6K to 8K where we are getting married in North Carolina.

    Your garland on tables with flowers studded throughout are going to be the priciest part, think something on the order of $30-40/ft. Garland is labor intensive, and you'll find it will most likely be less expensive to go with centerpieces on rounds.
