How much should I budget to spend on flowers for my bridal boquets and boutineers?

I have 3 bridesmaids and 3 groomsmen, as well as my bouquet and my husbands boutineers. and our parents crousages. I am limited on cash for the wedding unfortunatly and I dont have any ide what to expect when I visit the florist next week.

How much should I budget to spend on flowers for my bridal boquets and boutineers?
For the bridal party a general range is:





Bride: $200 - 350


Bridesmaids: $80 - 150 each


Groom and Groomsmen Bouttoniere: $15 - 30 each


Flowergirl: $30 - 50


Parents: $15 - 30 each





However, this does depend on what flowers you use. If they are out of season the price will more likely be at the higher end and maybe over. The same if it is around a holiday such as valentines day.

Reply:I am in the DC area, so my prices will probably be a little on the high side (depending on where you are) ... bridal bouquet - $250-$300, bridesmaids - $150 each, groomsmen/fathers - $12 each, husband - $15, mothers/grandmothers - $45 each ...





This is definitely going to depend on your location and what flowers you choose. Hydrangea are VERY expensive while roses are very affordable.
Reply:Oh my gosh, prices for flowers are literally all over the board. You can do this very cheaply, or you can go extremely expensive.





Here's an article from Martha Stewart that kind of breaks down your budget by percentages. So if you know the total amount you have to spend, this can give you a basic idea of how much to spend on each component.

Reply:You can ask your florist what flowers will be in season at the time of your wedding. Most often when they are in season they cost less because there are more available. I would probably budget atleast a couple hundred. If you are really trying to save money. Consider silk arrangements that you can do yourself or your bridesmaids can assemble for you. You can purchase silk flowers fairly inexpensive at places like Walmart, Michael's, Joann's and basically any other arts and craft store. These should not run you more than $50 or $60. Good luck and congrats.
Reply:It depends on the total budget of the wedding, the size of the wedding and I would suggest you get a book NOW from somewhere. May * suggest a book. No offense intended on the name of the book.
Reply:We went to a local craft store and the lady that owns it makes wedding bouquets. She did the bridal bouquet, maid of honor bouquet, 2 mother coursages, boutineers for the groom, father of bride, ring bearer and the pastor, and 2 basket arrangements for the church for $240.00. She only uses quality silk flowers and my daughter received so many compliments on the flowers. They were gorgeous. Her bouquet was huge!! It had hydrangeas, multi-colored roses, lots of greenery, baby's breath (with irredescent glitter) and long stems instead of a handle for carrying. She also put a beautiful wide lace ribbon around the top of the stems. If you are considering silks, try a local craft store to see who makes wedding arrangements.
Reply:It has much to do with the type of flowers you would like, not just how many you are buying for......... what type of flowers are you thinking of getting, that is what will really dictate the price.
Reply:Overall you should expect your flower budget to be about 15% of your overall budget. If your wedding budget is $10,000 then your flower budget should be about $1500. If your budget is $5000, then about $750.





Let the florist know what your expected budget is and what designs you like. The smaller your budget the less costly your flowers should be. So, don't expect everything roses for a really small amount of money.
