    Floral

    All flowers for the wedding — bouquets, boutonnières, ceremony installations, centerpieces, and arch arrangements.

    Wedding floral typically runs 8-12% of the total wedding budget, with the largest share going to centerpieces and ceremony installations. Bouquets, boutonnières, and corsages account for roughly 20-30% of the floral bill.

    In-season flowers (see /seasons) cost 30-50% less than out-of-season equivalents. Greenery-heavy designs are typically the most budget-efficient look. Repurposing ceremony arrangements as reception decor saves another 15-20%.
