How Much Do Wedding Flowers Cost?

One of the first questions couples ask us is how much they should budget for their wedding flowers. It is also one of the hardest questions to answer with a single figure.

A bridal bouquet and a few buttonholes require a very different amount of flowers and preparation from eight table arrangements, ceremony flowers and a large floral arch. The season, flower choice, venue and amount of setup involved can all affect the final cost too.

That does not mean wedding flower pricing needs to feel mysterious.

As a realistic starting point, Rosabel Blooms wedding flower packages begin from £600 for personal flowers. A package including personal flowers, table arrangements and floral meadow designs starts from £1,850.

Here is what those figures could include. For inspiration, explore our wedding flowers and portfolio.

Rosabel Blooms Wedding Flower Prices

These starting prices are based on a seasonal choice of flowers selected to suit your colour palette and the overall feeling you would like to create.

Labour, delivery and collection costs will be calculated separately and added to the final total.

Personal Flower Package: From £600

This package includes:

• one bridal bouquet

• four bridesmaid bouquets

• five buttonholes

This is a lovely option for couples who would like professionally designed flowers for the wedding party but do not need floral arrangements for the ceremony or reception.

Although these pieces may be smaller than a table centre or installation, each one still needs careful preparation. The flowers must be selected, conditioned and arranged so that they work together while remaining suitable for the person wearing or carrying them.

The bridal bouquet will usually be the most detailed arrangement within the package. The size, shape and flower choices can be considered alongside the wedding dress, the colour palette and the overall style of the wedding.

Personal Flowers and Bud Vase Table Flowers: From £850

This package includes:

• one bridal bouquet

• four bridesmaid bouquets

• five buttonholes

• flowers for eight reception tables

• three bud vases on each table

With three bud vases across eight tables, this gives you 24 individually arranged vases as well as the personal flowers.

Bud vases work particularly well for relaxed wedding tables, long banquet-style layouts and receptions where couples would like to mix flowers with candles, stationery or other table details.

They can create a light, gathered look without blocking conversation across the table. They are also a good way to carry the wedding colour palette throughout the room.

It is worth remembering that small arrangements are not necessarily quick arrangements. Every bud vase needs its own selection of stems and must be arranged, packed, transported and positioned individually.

The effect can feel effortless once everything is on the tables, but there is still plenty happening behind the scenes.

Personal Flowers, Footed Bowls and Ceremony Flowers: From £1,450

This package includes:

• one bridal bouquet

• four bridesmaid bouquets

• five buttonholes

• eight footed bowl table arrangements

• a ceremony or top table spray

Footed bowls create a fuller table arrangement than individual bud vases. They allow flowers to move naturally outwards and can give the tables more colour, shape and visual impact.

The shape of the bowls works particularly well with Rosabel Blooms’ natural, English garden-inspired wedding flowers. Flowers can be arranged with movement and varying heights rather than forming a tight or heavily structured dome.

This package also includes a floral spray for the ceremony or top table.

Depending on the design, venue and timings, it may be possible to move an arrangement from the ceremony to the reception. This needs to be planned in advance rather than assumed on the day.

The arrangement must be suitable for both locations and there needs to be enough time, access and help available to move it safely.

Personal Flowers, Footed Bowls and Meadow Flowers: From £1,850

This package includes:

• one bridal bouquet

• four bridesmaid bouquets

• five buttonholes

• eight footed bowl table arrangements

• a top table arrangement

• two floral meadow boxes for a welcome sign and table plan

This option creates a more complete floral story from the moment guests arrive through to the wedding breakfast.

The meadow boxes can soften the base of a welcome sign or table plan while adding colour at eye-catching points around the venue. Unlike a small arrangement attached directly to a sign, a meadow design creates the impression that the flowers are growing upwards from the floor.

These arrangements can work especially well in country houses, barns, marquees and Cotswolds venues where a looser garden style feels at home in the surroundings.

The two meadow boxes may also offer opportunities for repurposing, depending on their construction and the venue layout. For example, a meadow initially placed beside a welcome sign might later be moved near the top table or another reception feature.

This would need to be discussed during the planning process so that the design, timings and moving arrangements are all practical.

Why Do Wedding Flower Prices Vary?

Wedding flowers are not priced according to the number of stems alone.

Your quote reflects the flowers themselves as well as the time, preparation and practical work needed to turn them into finished designs.

Several details can affect the final figure.

Your Choice of Flowers

Some flowers naturally cost more than others. Prices can also change depending on the season, availability and quality of the crop.

A design using abundant seasonal flowers may be priced differently from one built around specific premium varieties or flowers that need to be sourced outside their usual growing season.

This is one reason we encourage couples to think about colour, texture and overall style rather than becoming too fixed on an exact list of flowers.

You are welcome to share favourite varieties and flowers you would rather avoid. Some flexibility gives your florist room to choose the best flowers available at the time while keeping the finished arrangements true to the agreed look.

The Season

Seasonality has a significant influence on both the character of your flowers and what is available.

Spring might bring delicate flowering branches, tulips and ranunculus. Summer offers a generous choice of garden-style flowers while autumn lends itself to richer colours, seed heads and textural foliage.

Exact availability still depends on weather and growing conditions. Even flowers that are usually in season cannot be guaranteed until they are ready to order.

The Rosabel Blooms pricing examples are based on using a seasonal selection of flowers. Requests for particular varieties or flowers that are difficult to source may alter the quote.

The Number and Size of Arrangements

Eight tables with three bud vases on each require 24 separate arrangements. Eight footed bowls require fewer individual vessels but each arrangement is larger and generally needs more flowers.

Scale matters too.

A compact arrangement for a small dining table will be different from a design intended to hold its own in a large barn or marquee. The flowers need to be in proportion with the table, room and other styling around them.

Guest numbers are therefore only part of the picture. Your table layout, venue size and the spaces you would most like to decorate are equally important.

The Complexity of the Design

Natural-looking wedding flowers still require structure.

A bouquet must be comfortable to hold. A buttonhole needs to sit securely on a jacket. A table arrangement must remain stable and a meadow needs to keep its shape while being transported and moved into position.

Large arrangements and installations may require additional mechanics, preparation and construction. The more complex the design, the more studio and venue time it is likely to need.

Delivery, Setup and Collection

Wedding flowers are delicate, often bulky and not always easy to transport.

Arrangements must be packed carefully before being loaded into the vehicle. Once at the venue, each piece needs to be unpacked, checked and positioned correctly.

Larger designs may have to be constructed or completed on site. Collection may also be needed after the wedding for hired vessels, mechanics or reusable items.

For this reason, labour, delivery and collection costs are calculated separately and added to the final Rosabel Blooms quote.

The cost will depend on the venue location, the volume of flowers, access, setup requirements and whether a return collection is needed.

How Much Does a Wedding Flower Arch Cost?

Floral arches, hoops and other installations are quoted individually.

There is no reliable standard price because their scale and construction can vary enormously. A lightly flowered hoop is very different from a full arch covered in flowers and foliage.

An installation quote may be affected by:

• the height and width of the structure

• the amount of floral coverage

• whether the design is full, asymmetrical or broken

• the flowers and foliage being used

• whether a frame needs to be supplied

• venue access

• setup time

• whether ladders or extra team members are needed

• dismantling and collection after the wedding

Venue photographs and approximate measurements are helpful at the early planning stage. A site visit may also be needed for a more complex installation.

Rosabel Blooms will quote for arches, hoops and statement floral installations on a case-by-case basis.

How Can You Make the Most of Your Wedding Flower Budget?

A good wedding flower budget is not necessarily about having flowers everywhere. It is about choosing where they will have the greatest effect.

Decide What Matters Most to You

Some couples care most about the bouquet because it appears in so many photographs. Others want guests to walk into the ceremony and immediately notice a statement floral feature.

You might decide to prioritise:

• the bridal bouquet

• the ceremony backdrop

• the entrance to the venue

• the top table

• guest table flowers

• the welcome sign or table plan

Once those priorities are clear, the remaining budget can be used to support them rather than being spread thinly across every possible area.

Be Flexible About Exact Flowers

Sharing a colour palette, preferred style and a few favourite flowers is often more helpful than asking for an exact recipe.

For example, you might ask for soft blush, cream and pale blue flowers with natural movement rather than specifying every variety.

This allows the florist to choose flowers that are looking their best while maintaining the colours and overall feeling you agreed.

Repurpose Arrangements Where It Works

Moving flowers from the ceremony to the reception can make good use of an arrangement, but only when it is practical.

A ceremony spray might work on the top table. Meadow boxes could potentially be moved to frame a sign or reception feature. A freestanding arrangement is usually easier to repurpose than flowers built directly onto a fixed structure.

Someone still needs to move each arrangement and there must be enough time to do so. The new position also needs to suit the arrangement’s size and shape.

It is best to build repurposing into the floral plan from the beginning rather than trying to work it out during the wedding.

Share the Practical Details Early

When asking for a quote, it helps to provide:

• your wedding date

• the venue

• approximate guest numbers

• the number and shape of tables

• your colour palette

• the personal flowers required

• the ceremony and reception areas you want to decorate

• photographs or a mood board

• an approximate flower budget

You do not need to know the names of every flower. Browse our wedding flower portfolio for ideas to share with us.

A few images showing the colour, movement and scale you like will give your florist a useful starting point.

Wedding Flower FAQs

Are Rosabel Blooms’ wedding flower prices all-inclusive?

The figures in this guide are starting prices for the listed floral arrangements. Labour, delivery and collection costs are calculated separately and added to the final quote. Large installations such as arches and hoops are also quoted separately.

Can I request specific flowers?

You can share your favourite flowers and any varieties you dislike. However, these guide prices are based on a seasonal choice of flowers. Exact varieties depend on availability, weather and growing conditions, so flexibility usually produces the best result.

Are the bud vases, bowls and containers included?

Vessel arrangements can vary by design, so please ask us whether your bud vases, bowls and containers will be included, hired or charged separately. We can also explain any collection requirements and applicable hire or replacement charges before you book.

Can ceremony flowers be moved to the reception?

Often they can, but it depends on the design, venue layout and available turnaround time. Repurposing should be agreed in advance so the arrangement works in both positions and someone is responsible for moving it safely.

How are wedding flower arches priced?

Arches, floral hoops and other installations are quoted individually. Their cost depends on the dimensions, amount of floral coverage, flower choices, mechanics, venue access and setup time.
