🌸 How Much Should You Allocate for Wedding Flowers?

A common recommendation is to allocate 8–10% of your overall wedding budget to flowers. This typically covers essentials like the bridal bouquet, bridesmaids’ bouquets, buttonholes, and table centerpieces. For instance, with a £1,000 budget, you can expect to receive:

• 1 Bridal bouquet

• 4 Bridesmaids’ bouquets

• 6 Buttonholes

• 8-10 guest table arrangements

• Top table arrangement

If flowers are a focal point of your wedding, consider allocating 20–30% of your budget. This allows for more elaborate designs, including floral arches, ceiling installations, and large arrangements. For example, a simple floral arch or flower cloud starts from £250, while milk churn arrangements begin at £150.

🌿 Maximizing Your Floral Budget

How to make the most of your investment:

1.

Choose seasonal and Local Blooms

Opting for seasonal flowers not only ensures freshness but also reduces costs. In Pembrokeshire, seasonal selections might include:

• Spring: Tulips, daffodils, and ranunculus

• Summer: Roses, zinnias, and cosmos

• Autumn: Chrysanthemums, hydrangeas, and dahlias

• Winter: Dried flowers, berries, and pinecones

2.

Repurpose Arrangements

Use ceremony flowers during the reception to get double the impact. For instance, aisle decorations can become table centerpieces, and altar arrangements can adorn the sweetheart table.

3.

Eco-Friendly Practices

Encourage guests to take home arrangements, reducing waste and extending the joy of your wedding blooms. Alternatively, we will compost any leftover flowers.
