How to Budget for Wedding Flowers

Budgeting for wedding flowers is essential to ensure a beautiful celebration without breaking the bank. Here are some practical tips:

  1. Work with a Professional Florist: While DIY might seem cost-effective, a professional florist can work within your budget and source flowers at wholesale prices. They’ll help you create stunning arrangements without the stress.
  2. Prioritize Key Elements: Focus your budget on essential floral elements like bridal bouquets, centerpieces, and ceremony decor. Allocate more resources to these areas to make a significant impact.
  3. Choose In-Season Blooms: Seasonal flowers are more affordable and abundant, so for example peonies which are highly coveted for bridal work is best for your weddings in early June while dahlias are available only for your late summer early fall weddings. Be flexible with your professional florist and trust that they will select the best flowers that fit your color palette and mood yet be available and more affordable.
  4. Reuse Bridesmaid Bouquets: After photos, place bridesmaids’ bouquets in tabletop vases for reception décor, perhaps on the bar or on the dessert buffet to maximize your floral budget.
  5. Think Outside the Vase: Explore creative alternatives like having some of your tables with low arrangements while others with tall centerpieces to help stretch your budget yet look fabulous! Remember, wedding flowers set the mood and ambiance for your wedding and will be the important in photography for a lifetime of memories.

New England Wedding

New England weddings have the charm of choosing between four seasons as well as varied venues. From the beaches of Cape Cod, mountains in the Birkshires, cobblestoned historic Boston, to rural barns, there are endless possibilities. With the shift in the last couple of years to more intimate celebrations, your choices can really reflect the mood and decor that sets the tone for your celebration. The flowers also are the perfect way to create ambiance and get personal with your selections. Working with a floral designer will take your reception to another level. The most important part of selecting a floral designer is communication. Get an understanding of your budget and whether you have someone who can advise you on how best to get the look you want.
