One of the most common questions we receive is about wedding flower costs and what couples can expect within their budget. Here’s a helpful breakdown to guide you through the pricing and what’s possible for your dream floral arrangements in 2025.

How Much Should You Budget for Wedding Flowers?

When considering your wedding flower budget, it’s important to think about how central flowers are to your big day.

Some couples want lavish, luxury floral designs to transform their venue, while others prefer elegant, sustainable touches that align with their values.

A general rule of thumb:

10-15% of your total wedding budget for classic floral arrangements.

20-25% of your total wedding budget for abundant floral arrangements.

Most of our couples spend from £2,500+, though we cater to a range of budgets.
