Floral Design With a Purpose
Full-service floral design includes personal flowers, ceremony florals, reception tablescapes, and the floral elements that guide guests through the celebration. We design with the full space in mind so the experience feels cohesive from arrival through the final moments of the evening.
Our work often includes florals for the ceremony, cocktail hour, bar, and reception tables. We design these areas together so the day has a clear sense of place. Each selection is shaped by the setting and the movement of your guests.
Delivery, installation, and teardown are part of full-service floral design and are calculated at twenty percent of the floral subtotal. This reflects the labor, transportation, and handling needed to install and care for the flowers throughout the event.
Personals
Personal flowers create the first impression of the day and set the tone for the celebration. Most bridal bouquets fall around $350, shaped to match the mood and styling of your wedding. Bridesmaid bouquets typically range from $85 to $185 each, and boutonnieres and small family florals usually fall between $25 and $85.
Personal flowers are one of the most predictable parts of the floral investment and usually form a smaller portion of the overall budget. They open the day with intention and help carry the design story into the ceremony.
Ceremony
Ceremony florals shape the atmosphere of the vows and often form a meaningful part of the overall floral investment. Grounded meadows at the aisle entrance or altar typically range from $250 to $550 each depending on scale and fullness. A tree spray or structure installation usually begins around $385 and grows with the size of the space.
These designs are placed with the setting in mind so the ceremony feels anchored and expressive. Many ceremony florals can transition into the reception, and this repurposing often adds value while maintaining a consistent visual story. Repurposing usually ranges from $125 to $200.
Ceremony florals help establish the tone for the day and guide the feeling of the space as guests move toward the celebration that follows.
Cocktail Hour
Cocktail hour florals help guide the flow from ceremony to reception. These pieces are light in scale and placed where guests naturally gather. Petite ikebana-style arrangements usually range from $60 to $75 each and add movement and texture to small tables.
Bar florals often serve as a focal point during this part of the celebration. These designs usually range from $85 to $275 depending on size and flower choice. Cocktail hour florals typically total $300 to $1,200, shaped by the number of surfaces and the atmosphere the couple wants guests to experience.
These floral elements are planned together with the ceremony and reception so the transition feels cohesive and the design reads as a single story throughout the evening.
Celebration
Reception florals carry the atmosphere into the evening and help define how the room feels once guests are seated. The tablescape often becomes the visual foundation of the space. Floral arrangements for dining tables usually range from $200 to $600 per table depending on the number of tables, the length of the tables, and the types of flowers selected. Candlelight is included in this range and is planned with the floral design to create depth and a cohesive mood.
Rectangular tables require more floral material and more labor than round tables. A single rectangular table often needs one and a half to three times as much design work as a round table of similar seating capacity. The scale of the tables has a meaningful influence on the overall floral investment.
Ceremony florals often transition into the reception. Grounded meadows may be placed at the foot of long tables, near the dance floor, or along a stone wall. Repurposing usually ranges from $125 to $200 and extends the visual story of the day.
Some receptions benefit from floral signage such as a growing meadow at an escort display or welcome table. These designs often begin around $350 for a thirty-six-inch section and increase with width.
Architectural elements sometimes need additional support. Greenery on sailcloth tent poles usually begins around $265 per pole and grows with height and density. Greenery draping on beams generally begins between $400 and $500 per beam. Chandelier greenery often begins around $550 for a multi-tier fixture and increases with size and mechanics. Overhead work requires added handling and access, and the scale of the room shapes the final investment.
Bars, entry tables, and gathering points may receive floral details that help guide the rhythm of the evening. Bar florals often range from $85 to $275 and provide an anchor where guests return throughout the night.
Reception florals are planned as a continuation of the ceremony and cocktail hour. Every selection is shaped by the movement of the day and the feeling you want the room to hold.
Delivery, Setup, and Teardown
Full-service floral design includes delivery to your venue, on-site floral installation, post-event breakdown, and the handling required to care for the flowers throughout the day. This work begins well before guests arrive and continues after the celebration concludes. It includes transportation, packing, ladder work, on-site design adjustments, and the removal and cleaning of rental items.
This service is calculated at twenty percent of the floral subtotal. The percentage reflects the time, labor, and coordination needed to install each design element safely and to return the space to its original condition at the end of the event. It ensures that your floral experience feels supported from the first arrival moment through the final gathering of the evening.
Investment Ranges
Floral investment grows from the number of tables, the scale of the ceremony, and the presence you want in each part of the celebration. Once your venue and guest count are clear, the overall range becomes easier to understand.
Investments beginning around $7,000 support personal flowers, a meaningful ceremony feature, and reception tablescapes that feel complete and intentional.
Investments in the $10,000 to $15,000 range create a fuller presence across the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. Tables hold more floral density, and the room gains depth through added pieces at areas where attention naturally settles.
Investments beginning at $15,000 support a more immersive floral experience across multiple areas of the celebration. Ceremony installations grow in scale, tablescapes become more sculptural, and several touchpoints throughout the room can receive floral elements that extend the atmosphere.
These ranges serve as a guide. Once your date, space, and priorities are clear, we help you understand where your celebration will naturally fall.
