Budgeting

How much of your budget should you expect to pay for your flowers?

First, remember that everything is relative to the city where you will wed, to the season in which you will wed, to the length of your guest list, and so forth.

To give you an idea, we've collected the percentages for a 150-person guest list and a 10-member bridal party.

You're likely to spend...
  • 55 % on reception table centerpieces and other misc. decor elements of the reception
  • 14 % on the bridesmaid bouquets
  • 12 % on ceremony decorations
  • 7 % on your bouquet
  • 5 % on the boutonnieres
  • 5 % on the corsages
  • 1 % on the flower girl's basket
  • 1 % on your tossing bouquet
