💐 How Much Do Wedding Flowers Really Cost?

A Local’s Guide from Your Frens in Flowers
Hey there, fren. If you’re reading this, you’re probably in that super fun but slightly overwhelming part of wedding planning where Pinterest boards are full, your camera roll is chaos, and you’re wondering how much wedding flowers actually cost.
Let’s talk about it. No secrets, no fluff. Just honest info from your local family florist team here at Flower Frens, designing weddings all over Vista, Oceanside, Fallbrook, San Marcos, San Diego, and beyond!
We treat every wedding like it’s one of our own. When we’re working with you, we take it seriously, but we also make it fun like planning with your best fren who happens to know way too much about flowers.

🌸 So, What’s the Real Price Tag?

The truth is, wedding flowers can range a lot. Around here in North County, most of our couples spend between $3,000 and $6,000 for full-service floral design. That usually includes bouquets, centerpieces, ceremony pieces, delivery, setup, and tear-down.

Some go smaller for intimate weddings or elopements starting around $1,000, and some go bigger with full arches, installations, and all the floral drama.

Here’s a peek at what things usually cost:

Floral Piece Typical Range What to Expect
Bridal Bouquet $200 – $350 Your statement piece — textured, layered, and designed to look incredible in photos.
Bridesmaid Bouquets $85 – $150 Smaller versions that tie in beautifully with yours.
Boutonnieres & Corsages $20 – $35 Small details that make a big difference.
Centerpieces $100 – $250 Statement arrangements for each table. You can mix these with bud vases to stretch your budget.
Bud Vases or Mini Arrangements $20 – $35 Perfect for smaller tables, cocktail hour, or to add a little sparkle between the big pieces.
Ceremony Arch or Arbor Florals $500 – $2,000 and up This is your showstopper moment. Arches are an investment, but they make a huge impact. We can focus on color and texture rather than all-premium blooms to keep it dreamy without breaking the bank.
Aisle Flowers or Ground Arrangements $200 – $700 These are stunning and can often be reused at the reception. We love a good double-duty floral moment.
Sweetheart Table Florals $250 – $500 A little focal magic for your first meal as newlyweds.
Cake, Bar, or Accent Florals $75 – $150 Small touches that tie everything together.

Prices depend on flower types, size, and season but this gives you a general idea.

🌿 What You’re Really Paying For

It’s not just flowers in a vase. Behind every arrangement is a ton of design time, prep work, and love.

We start with your color palette, pull inspiration, create a custom moodboard, and spend hours sourcing and prepping flowers that fit your vibe perfectly. Then comes delivery, setup, rentals, and all the behind-the-scenes magic that makes your wedding day feel effortless.

When you hire us, you’re not just paying for flowers. You’re paying for peace of mind.

💖 If The Estimate Feels High, Don’t Panic

We get it...weddings add up fast. The good news is there are plenty of creative ways to make your budget go further without giving up your dream look.

Here are a few of our favorite Flower Frens tricks:

Mix centerpieces and bud vases
Not every table needs a big arrangement. A few lush centerpieces mixed with smaller vases gives the room that curated, natural feel.

Add carnations
We love a carnation moment. Modern varieties are full, ruffly, and come in amazing colors. Mixed right, they look luxury and keep your budget happy.

Reuse ceremony flowers
Aisle pieces can become bar arrangements. Arch florals can move to your sweetheart table. Repurpose and save big.

Focus on color and texture
You don’t need the most expensive blooms to make an impact. A well-designed color story with interesting shapes and greenery can be just as stunning.

Pick your priorities
If you dream of a jaw-dropping arch, let’s make that the star and simplify elsewhere. We’ll help you figure out where to spend and where to save.
