Wedding Flower Budget Calculator
Estimate wedding flower costs from bouquet count, centerpiece type, and boutonniere count.
Returns a line-item floral budget with low-end and high-end pricing.
Wedding flowers involve multiple components — bridal party flowers, ceremony arrangements, and reception centerpieces. Estimating costs for each category separately gives the most useful budget.
Total flower budget formula: Total = Bouquets + Boutonnieres + Ceremony Flowers + Reception Centerpieces + Miscellaneous

- Choose in-season flowers — out-of-season blooms are imported and cost 2–3× more
- Repurpose ceremony arrangements as reception decor
- Greenery-heavy arrangements cost 30–40% less than all-bloom arrangements
- Dried flowers have become fashionable and cost 20–50% less than fresh
