Wedding Flowers Behind the Scenes: Costs and Why

A LOT OF WORK HAPPENS BEFORE THE BIG DAY, AND A LOT OF WORK HAPPENS ON THE DAY!

But what does that look like exactly? We don’t expect our couples to just know  about all of the work that goes into executing a perfect wedding day, but it is important to understand a bit about it if you want to know why your flowers are costing what they are. So let’s take a look.

In addition to the actual flowers there are many other things that go into designing, preparing and installing (bump in), and packing down (bump out) your wedding day florals.

It is a standard practice that a percentage of the price you pay will be dedicated to labour, materials, and
service. We set this at 30%, this will be itemised on your quote and form part of the overall total.

Vendors will present this information differently on their quotes, but don’t be afraid to ask them for details of the costs if it isn’t clear to you.

What You’re Paying For

abilities, physical labour, travel. Trustworthy vendors ensure everything goes as
planned and is as you imagined, even with tight schedules and potential issues.

“Kris was recommended to me by a close friend for wedding flowers and she did not disappoint. The wedding process was a bit daunting for me and Kris took the time to have a chat about styles, flower sustainability and budget. Kris was amazing to deal with throughout the whole engagement, is sustainable and super understanding and smiley to boot. Love what Kris did for us on the day and would recommend Kris to anyone looking for wedding flowers.”
