Creating a Wedding Flower Budget<\/span><\/h2>\n

First off, you’ll need to create a strict wedding flower budget. Even if you have quite a bit of money to spend on your wedding flowers, it is helpful to have a number that dictates the ceiling of your budget so you still have enough money to allocate to other wedding needs. Here are a few tips for creating a wedding flower budget.<\/span><\/p>\n

Know How Much You Want to Spend<\/span><\/h3>\n

To successfully create a wedding flower budget that will be helpful for you in the wedding planning process, you’ll need to know how much you want to spend on your wedding flowers. On average, most couples set aside 12% to 20% of their wedding budget to spend on their wedding flowers. Knowing your floral budget can help you to prioritize what wedding flower arrangements are most important to you while saving money.<\/span><\/p>\n

Know What You Need<\/span><\/h3>\n

Next, you should consider what wedding flower arrangements you actually <\/span>need <\/span><\/i>for your wedding. For example, if you\u2019re having a traditional bridal party, you\u2019ll likely need <\/span>bridesmaid flowers<\/span><\/a>, boutonnieres for your groomsmen, and corsages for other important family members or friends, such as your parents. Of course, you\u2019ll need your <\/span>wedding bouquet<\/span><\/a>, which is quite possibly the most important floral arrangement of your whole wedding day. You can figure out how much each of these items costs by searching average pricing online or by asking wedding florists for quotes<\/span><\/p>\n

Choose Extras<\/span><\/h3>\n

Once you\u2019ve nailed down the price of your floral essentials, you can choose some extras that will fit into your budget. For example, you can add some decorative bouquets that can spruce up your wedding ceremony aisle or your wedding reception tables. You can add floral installations, such as a ceremony archway or a wedding reception overhead installation. These decorative elements can definitely come with an expensive price tag, especially if they\u2019re large, but they can truly elevate the look of your wedding venue.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ask Florists for Quotes<\/span><\/h3>\n

To find a florist that you love, spend some time scrolling on social media and viewing their past weddings in their online portfolio. However, no matter how much you love the work that a specific florist has done in the past, you need to ask them for a quote before you start fantasizing about hiring them. Some wedding florists might be unattainably expensive, and asking for a quote will help you to realize that their services will be well outside of your floral budget. A quote will usually include the price of the flowers included, the cost of labor, as well as an additional fee for the florist\u2019s brand, experience, and education. Many wedding florists also add an additional inflated cost just for working in the wedding industry. However, if you see that a wedding florist is out of your price range, don\u2019t worry. There are still many ways to save money on your wedding flowers while still getting the beautiful, stylish results that you\u2019ve dreamed of.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>
