Planning your wedding flowers is one of the most exciting parts of the process … but figuring out the budget? That part can feel a little overwhelming.
You’re not alone. It’s one of the most common questions we get at Petal & Bulb. So we’ve put together this honest guide to help you understand what’s possible at different price points so you can plan with confidence.
Under $3,000 – Simplicity
A smaller budget doesn’t mean compromising on beauty. At this level you can still have stunning, lush florals for the moments that matter most.
What’s typically included:
- Bridal bouquet
- Bridesmaids bouquets
- Boutonnieres
- Ceremony flowers such as arch swags or aisle arrangements
This is a great starting point for intimate weddings or couples who want to focus on personal flowers and one or two ceremony pieces.
Around $5,000 – Ceremony and Reception
At this budget you can create a cohesive floral experience across both your ceremony and reception.
What’s typically included:
- Full bridal party flowers
- Ceremony arch
- Ceremony aisle flowers
- Reception centrepieces
- Welcome arrangement or bar florals
This level is perfect for couples who want their guests to walk into a beautifully styled space from ceremony through to reception.
Around $10,000 – The Full Experience
This is where the magic really happens. A $10,000 budget allows for lush, abundant florals throughout your entire wedding day.
What’s typically included:
- Full bridal party flowers
- Grand ceremony arch with lush overflowing blooms
- Ceremony aisle and accent florals
- Full reception centrepieces
- Sweetheart table
- Welcome arrangement, bar florals and additional styling touches
This level creates a truly immersive floral experience — the kind where guests can’t stop talking about the flowers.
A Few Things to Keep in Mind
Start with your vision. Think about which moments matter most to you (the ceremony, the reception, your bouquet) and allocate your budget there first.
Be upfront about your budget. The more honest you are about what you’re working with, the better we can design something that feels abundant and intentional within your means.
