Wedding Flower Cost Calculator: 2025 Budget Planning Guide

Planning your wedding flowers but unsure about the costs? You're not alone. Wedding flowers typically consume 10-15% of the total wedding budget, but prices can vary significantly based on your choices and requirements. At Lily's Florist we break down what influences flower costs and help you plan your perfect floral arrangements without breaking the bank.

What Affects Wedding Flower Costs?

Several factors influence the final cost of your wedding flowers:

Guest Count: More guests often mean more tables needing centerpieces
Wedding Party Size: Each bridesmaid typically needs a bouquet
Venue Requirements: Ceremony and reception decorations vary by location
Flower Types: Seasonal availability affects pricing
Design Complexity: Intricate arrangements cost more than simple ones

Pro Tip: Booking flowers for both your ceremony and reception with the same florist often leads to better package pricing and coordinated designs.
