Want the scoop on the cost of wedding flowers<\/strong>? I hear you, planning for your wedding budget and working out the cost of a wedding is tricky!<\/p>\n

However, I am here to give the lowdown on wedding flower prices<\/strong> and help you to determine your flower budget.<\/p>\n

As well as help you to work out what exactly you can get flower-wise on your budget.<\/p>\n

We’ve all spent hours on Instagram<\/a> and Pinterest<\/a> drooling over immense flower arches, installations and voluminous bouquets. But are they realistic and achievable for most couples in the UK?<\/p>\n

How Much Do Wedding Flowers Cost?<\/h2>\n

To put it simply wedding flowers can cost as little as you like. You could spend \u00a350<\/strong> on buying your own flowers and arranging them. Or spend \u00a3400<\/strong> to get some of your flower wishlist all the way up to \u00a32000+<\/strong> on a full wedding flower package.<\/p>\n

What Is The Average Cost Of Wedding Flowers In The UK In 2021?<\/h2>\n

According to Bridebook’s January 2023 survey<\/a> of nearly 4000 UK couple the average wedding florist spend in 2022 was \u00a3888<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The most expensive with the average cost of a florist in London being \u00a31737<\/strong> and Yorkshire and the Humber the cheapest at \u00a3650<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Interestingly they also found that 71% of couples surveyed hired a florist, which means that 26% of couples<\/strong> decided to DIY their wedding flowers.<\/p>\n

However, this is an average figure and is to be taken with a pinch of salt. Some couples opt for no flowers which means they spend \u00a30 on blooms<\/strong> while others spend \u00a310,000+<\/strong> on their wedding flowers.<\/p>\n

That’s absolutely fine! There are no rules<\/strong> around what you should or should not be spending on your wedding flowers. It comes down to personal choice and your budget.<\/p>\n

There are also reports of flower shortages<\/a>, which could well push prices up on flowers, so do bear this in mind when you get your quotes back from florists.<\/p>\n

No matter your flower budget, there are ways and means to get your dream blooms<\/strong>, and I’ll share how!<\/p>\n
