Understanding Wedding Flower Prices: A Transparent Guide from a Farmer Florist

Unlike grocery store flowers that travel thousands of miles, my flowers are grown right here on the farm with meticulous care. From soil preparation and seed planting to daily watering, pest management, and harvesting at the perfect moment, each bloom represents months of dedicated work. Seasonal flowers require precise timing.

Labor-Intensive Design Work

Wedding florals aren't just about the flowers themselves. Each arrangement involves:

• Consultation and design planning (2-4 hours per wedding)

• Harvesting and conditioning flowers at peak freshness

• Hand-designing each piece from bridal bouquets to centerpieces

• Delivery and setup on your wedding day

• Moving repurposed pieces from ceremony to reception

• Breakdown and cleanup after the celebration

Quality and Freshness Standards

Often times, we harvest the flowers for your wedding 24-48 hours before designing so that they are at their peak for you and your guests. This level of quality and attention to detail requires significant time and expertise.

unique flower varieties

We bring something unique and different to our wedding designs. Many of the varieties we grow for you do not ship well, so using them in wedding work can only happen if they come from a local grower. Special days require special flowers!

Our Full Service Packages are usually $4,000-10,000 ($4k being a smaller bridal party/guest count with a moderate floral look, $12k+ for lots of bridesmaids, lots of guests, and grand florals!).

Our A La Carte Packages are usually between $1500-3000 (we're doing all bouquets, boutonnieres, ceremony florals, and sending DIY buckets for the guest tables to be done by the client).

What impacts the total the most?

Wedding florals are a math equation! More guests and more wedding party=more flowers. Flowers can take the overall look of the day to the next level. If you want a floral-dominant aesthetic (our favorite), larger statement pieces and lots of florals on the guest tables will make the most impact! A larger floral look will require a larger budget.

• Big wedding party=bigger budget (think 7 maids bouquets, 7 boutonnieres vs. 4 maids and 4 groomsmen)

• Inviting lots of guests? Each guest table will need decor. Flowers, candles, linens, etc.

• Other decor- more is more, in impact and budget.

• Flower types-If you have your heart set on Peonies(understandable), just know they are one of the most expensive flower on the market. They're expensive to grow, finicky to harvest and hold, and always in high demand! The most beautiful flowers are always the diva's-ranunculus, anemones, peonies, dahlias, poppies...

Smart Ways to Maximize Your Flower Budget

Choose Seasonal Blooms

Work with flowers that are naturally blooming during your wedding season. Not only will this save money, but seasonal flowers are also at their most beautiful and longest-lasting.

Prioritize High-Impact Areas

Focus your budget on the most visible elements: bridal bouquet, ceremony arrangements, and a few stunning centerpieces rather than decorating every surface.

Repurpose Ceremony Arrangements

Altar arrangements can move to the reception space, sweetheart table or bar top.

Consider a Smaller Guest Count

Micro-weddings are on trend, but even a 100-person guest list can leave more room in the budget to really spoil yourselves and your guests with the florals of your dreams, gourmet dinner options and specialty cocktails.
