Setting a Wedding Budget can be tricky when nobody talks about the costs...
We realize we don’t chat about costs much on our social media, but we always aim to keep it real with our couples about their flower budget.
Each florist has their own way of pricing based on their style, location, skill level, and more. Plus, flower prices change daily! Yep, you heard that right—prices are set by a daily auction in Aalsmeer, Holland. One day a rose might be £1, and the next day it could be £1.45. So, giving an exact cost for your flowers is a bit like predicting the weather.
But don’t worry! With our years of experience, we can give you a pretty good estimate that shouldn’t change too much when you get your final proposal a few weeks before your big day.
We do our best to estimate costs accurately so there are no nasty surprises on the final bill. However, things like Brexit and other global events can sometimes throw a wrench in the works.
So, let's talk costs.
Here is our average Price Guide which is aimed to help you set a realistic budget but please bear in mind that Prices can differ greatly due to Seasonality, Availability, Colour, Stem Length, Popularity & Global Holidays such as Mother's Day.

How much do people tend to spend?
Every couple is different when it comes to their wedding budget. While general advice suggests setting aside 8% for florals, this isn't a hard and fast rule. Some couples might want to go all out on flowers, while others might prefer to spend more on the venue and keep the florals minimal.
Our minimum spend is £2,000, and that's because once we add in styling items along with the florals, it's rare to see a bill lower than this. On average, our couples spend between £3,500 and £6,500 on their wedding florals, but we've done weddings where the floral bill goes up to £15,000 and beyond!
