QUICK WEDDING FLOWER AND FLORISTS INFO: Begin setting up appointments with wedding florists in your area 9 to 11 months out. Choose and hire the florist 6 to 8 months before. Finalize your choice 4 to 5 months out. At that point, settle on a final contract price. The flower budget for weddings varies. Data shows the average at about $1,500. Another source gives an average of $1,800 to $3,000 for flowers and decor. Some estimates show flowers run about 8% of your total wedding budget. This comes to about $2,100 for a $26,000 wedding. Some florists charge a set up fee of $350 to $500+. Be sure that you know what is included in your quotes. Consider price, color scheme, seasonality, availability, the look you want, and whether the flowers are hearty enough to tolerate the climate. You might avoid flowers with heavy scents. We have divided Wedding Flowers into 2 categories: Bouquets, corsages, etc. that are worn or carried, and Flowers to Decorate the Site.
