Wedding flowers, what do they really cost (and why)?

Planning your wedding flowers is one of the most beautiful parts of your big day. It’s the moment your love story begins to bloom in colour, texture, and fragrance - bringing your vision to life in the most heartfelt way.

But we know one of the biggest questions couples have is: How much do wedding flowers cost? And the truth is, it can vary, just like every wedding is wonderfully different, so is every floral design.

From dreamy bouquets to table arrangements and ceremony backdrops, there’s a lot that goes into creating floral magic. The cost depends on things like flower choice, seasonal availability, design complexity, and the scale of your celebration.

That said, we’re here to take the overwhelm out of the process. As your florist, our goal is to guide you with honest advice and creative solutions, helping you make the most of your floral budget while still delivering beauty that’s true to you.

Whether you're dreaming big or keeping things simple and elegant, we’ll work with you to design something meaningful and memorable, always with care, intention, and love.

More Than Just Flowers in a Vase

Wedding flowers are so much more than what you see on the day. Behind the scenes, there’s a whole lot of planning, coordination, and hands-on creativity that brings your floral vision to life.

From the initial consultation where we get to know your style, colour palette, and venue, to sourcing the right seasonal blooms (often from multiple growers), preparing every stem, and carefully designing and constructing each bouquet, arrangement, and installation, we’re with you every step of the way.

On the day, we’re up early arranging, transporting, setting up, and often repurposing pieces between ceremony and reception. It’s detailed, delicate, and deeply personal work and we truly love doing it.

What Wedding Flowers Typically Cost

Every wedding is unique, but here’s a general idea of what to expect:

Bridal Bouquets: From $295
Bridesmaid Bouquets: From $150
Ceremony Arbours: From $1,500
Hanging Installations: From $2,200

We understand that these numbers can be surprising if you’re new to wedding planning, but rest assured, they reflect the craftsmanship, premium blooms, and hours of care that go into creating something unforgettable.

Why a Statement Arbour is a Smart Floral Spend

If you’re looking to make an impact, we always recommend investing in your ceremony arbour. It’s often the first floral moment your guests will see, the backdrop to your vows, and the star of your photos. Best of all, we can often repurpose elements of the arbour for the reception, a smart and beautiful way to stretch your floral budget.

Share Your Budget - We’ll Help You Maximise It

One of the most helpful things you can do is let us know your floral budget from the beginning. Truly! It’s not about us “spending it all”, it’s about knowing what we’re working with so we can design thoughtfully and offer creative suggestions that make the biggest impact for your day.

Whether it’s reusing ceremony florals, mixing premium and seasonal blooms, or focusing on a few wow-factor pieces, we’ll help you make the most of what you’ve got.
