If I could give one piece of advice to any future Mr. and Mrs. planning a wedding, it would be to work out a budget before starting the planning process. For their sanity and everyone else’s! Often times when the budget is not first considered a large portion of funds is spent on booking the venue and there is little left for other splendors (nudge, nudge…floral).
I want everyone to know it is ok to talk about your budget! In fact the more a floral designer knows about your budget the more they can help you to create the perfect day! We aim to find each bride’s personal style and select flowers and containers based on her inspiration, while staying inside the budget. The typical bride allocates 8%~10% of her budget to floral. This number varies depending on how important flowers are to creating the ideal ambiance.
It is also wise to keep in mind the number of loved ones in your bridal party. I understand the tough nature of picking 3 or 5 of the most important people in your life, so many brides pick 8 or 9. Just keep in mind that bridesmaid bouquets range in price from a modest $55 to an average around $85 or more ornate bouquets around $125. And now some math…
Really expensive bouquet with garden roses, peonies, mini calla lilies, etc...
about $125 bouquet x 8 beautiful bridesmaids = $1000 of your budget!!!
Also, keep in mind, expensive flowers can add up. So, spend some time with your floral designer to determine the best fit for you and your budget.
Our designs range from elaborate and traditional to sleek and modern and everything in between. Our passion for design is evident in the attention to detail and the love of creating with flowers.
