Ever wondered why wedding florists charge so much?

Why do florists charge more for weddings?

You are paying for the florist's experience and time. From the first consultation to the final cleanup, they devote a significant amount of time to planning, designing, and staying current with trends.


Unlike corporate events and birthdays, wedding florists spend more time meticulously planning, designing, and customizing every detail to match the couple’s unique vision and theme.


Weddings require the finest flowers, such as garden roses, orchids, and peonies. These premium blooms are expensive, especially when they are out of season or imported. Flowers, supplies, and transportation have all seen recent price increases.

The work involved

  • Preparing Flowers: Around a week before the wedding, florists collect flowers from various sources. They are sourced from local farms, wholesale markets, and out-of-state producers. Each stem is thoroughly cleaned and trimmed, which takes several hours.


  • Custom Service begins with a meeting to discuss your vision. Florists create mood boards and proposals that are specific to your style. They place specific flower orders and reserve rental items as the wedding date approaches. This personalized attention requires a significant amount of time and effort.

LOGISTICS AND STARTUP

Three to four days before the wedding, florists begin designing the arrangements.


Large pieces, such as floral arches, are frequently assembled on site.


To ensure that everything looks perfect, a team of designers will need to work long hours.


On the wedding day, florists carefully transport and arrange the flowers at the venue. This encompasses everything from centerpieces to elaborate installations. Following the event, they return to take down and clean up, which includes composting flowers and returning rental items.

Premium Service

Florists take the time to understand your preferences and style, ensuring that every detail is perfect. They also deal with unpredictable supply chains and last-minute changes to ensure your flowers look great no matter what.

CONCLUSION

So, why are wedding florists charging more? It's a combination of high-quality flowers, florist expertise, and a labor-intensive process from beginning to end.


Given all of the effort and skill required, the higher cost makes sense.
