How would I spend a 2k wedding flower budget?
So our last blog post was all about demystifying wedding floristry pricing, but in order to tangibly demonstrate what you could truly get for your budget, I’ve detailed out in this post, how I would maximise your floral budget if you had 2k to spend.
So First things first, To help maximise the budget we’re going with lush seasonal blooms complimented by wispy, textural foliage across all the arrangements. We’ve also chosen arrangements for the ceremony that we can repurpose for the reception so keep reading for more details on those.
Bridal party flowers:
In this scenario we’ve accounted for 4 bridesmaids bouquets and 10 buttonholes. That’s plenty of buttonholes for groomsmen and family members that you want to feel included and 4 bouquets that can also be repurposed by being displayed around the venue after the ceremony. We also can’t forget a showstopping bridal bouquet, bursting with the best of the flowers and acting as the ultimate bridal accessory for the day.
Ceremony and reception arrangements:
We love a ceremony with impact and depending on your venue, certain spaces lend themselves to different statement installs, and we always want to compliment the space, whether it’s a beautiful fireplace, a stunning outdoor view or traditional church. As a versatile option, in this scenario we’ve accounted for an asymmetric combination of urns and bowls on pedestals, providing variety and height and a point of floral interest to frame you through the ceremony. The great thing about these is that they can also be easily moved, either to frame your top table or an impactful cake cutting moment later in the day.
The other thing we’re including here is aisle meadows, floor level arrangements that line your aisle then later can be moved for either impactful flowers in front of a top table, dancefloor, or broken down across different locations.
When it comes to where arrangements should be repurposed and reused, we’re more than happy to advise based on your specific venue and priorities for the day.
Wedding breakfast tables:
We love to have variety for wedding breakfast tables and the option we’ve chosen works for either banquet style tables or circular tableplans. We love working with a combination of bud vases, as well as larger bowl arrangements. For banquet tables we’d space the bowls along the tables with bud vases in between, or for circular tables we’d alternate tables with a cluster of bud vases then a table with a bowl.
This price would also include delivery to 1 venue, takedown and pick up from the venue the next morning (with an extra charge if the venue isn’t local to me) and the hire of any vases or vessels required for the arrangements.
What do you think? Is that what you were expecting? In the next post we’ll look at what we can do with a 3k budget…
