Couples Have About Florals with Hailly Lucas of Hailly Lucas Floral Design

How much do flowers cost? There isn’t a simple answer to this question. Based on my experience, I’d say a bit more than the average client thinks they do. There are many factors that go into the costs of flowers. Here are some of the common contributing factors. • Flower varieties: some simply cost more than others • Design style: if you are looking for a wedding with a lot of flowers it will cost more • Arrangement sizes: larger ones will cost more because they use more product • Vendors: some vendors that work on a larger scale tend to have a minimum and don’t take on smaller orders There are calculators out there that tell you how much you should be spending on flowers based on your overall wedding budget. It all comes down to what you think is important. I express to my clients that flowers can really transform a space and be an amazing mood setter.
Also worth noting is that simple designs don’t necessarily mean cheap. An example of this would be table garlands. It is correct to assume that greens cost less than flowers, however, in order to make greens look full, you have to use quite a bit of them which increases costs. Overall, if flowers are important to you, you will likely have a bigger budget for them and vice versa. If you are a client on a budget, check out question 5 for tips.
