How Much Do Wedding Flowers Cost in 2026?

What Influences the Cost of Wedding Flowers?

Scale of Design

Your wedding flowers can be as minimal or dramatic as you choose. For some couples, this could mean personal flowers and simple table arrangements. For others, it includes statement ceremony pieces, sculptural installations, floral arches and layered tablescapes filled with candles and flowers. Of course, it follows that the scale of your vision; and in turn the size of the spaces you want to transform, has the greatest impact on the overall cost.

Flower Choices & Seasonality

There are some flowers that will always be timeless favourites for weddings; roses, peonies and hydrangeas are particularly popular. Within this, premium blooms will naturally sit at a higher price point and time of year plays a key role in the availability, quality and sourcing of these varieties. A luxury florist will prioritise flowers that are at their best, selecting them for colour, movement, longevity and overall beauty, rather than simply cost.

Venue Layout & Logistics

This is often overlooked, but your choice of venue directly affects how floral designs are created and installed. A country estate, manor house, marquee or city venue each comes with very different design and logistical considerations. Large spaces, outdoor ceremonies, multiple rooms or venues with complex layouts often require more care, attention and florals to feel balanced and intentional. 

Design, Labour & Craftsmanship

Behind all of our floral installations is a team of florists designing, sourcing, conditioning, building, transporting and installing your flowers. Wedding days often involve early starts, long hours and large onsite teams to create and install pieces safely and beautifully. This level of craftsmanship is an essential part of your floral investment. 

Typical Wedding Flower Investment Ranges for 2026

Although every wedding is completely bespoke, most couples planning a design-led celebration fall within these general ranges:

Where to Prioritise Your Budget

If you're deciding where to focus your investment, there are certain areas that tend to have the greatest impact. The first of these is the ceremony; it is where guests gather first and is the most meaningful part of the day. It also forms a large part of your photography and videography, so ensuring this space is as beautiful as possible is always a good idea. Entrances, staircases and gathering spaces are often overlook, yet guests tend to spend a lot of time here both before the ceremony and in those 'in-between times'. Thoughtful floral design in these spaces creates an intentional welcome and adds warmth and personality to mingling spaces. Finally, the dining room or wedding breakfast is crucial as guests tend to spend much of the day seated. This also forms the backdrop for speeches; which are often hailed as a favourite part of the day. Layers of considered florals and soft candleight creates intimacy and encourages conversation.

Making the Most of Your Budget

A few thoughtful choices can elevate your flowers even further:

Focus on fewer, more impactful statement pieces rather than many small arrangements

Allow certain designs to be repurposed throughout the day (although keep in mind there may be additional labour costs involved in moving pieces throughout the day!)

Trust your florist to guide flower choices and seasonal substitutions

These decisions ensure your florals feel intentional, elegant, and beautifully balanced. Your wedding flowers are more than decoration. They are the atmosphere your guests walk into, the backdrop to your vows, and the visual language of your celebration. A considered floral investment allows your day to feel cohesive, thoughtful, and quietly luxurious from start to finish.
