Budget for flowers

jmk5629

What is a normal budget for flowers, including my bouget, bridesmaids, groom/mens, and center pieces?? I have a "felixble" budget but I don't want to go over board. I am on the fence on whether to include flowers at the cermony.

Normally, around 10% of your total wedding budget should be set aside for flowers.  I came in around 8% and I had centerpieces but no ceremony decor.  But just like with anything else, you can spend anywhere from modest to the sky is the limit.

I set aside 8% but found an amazing florist that will give me all of my bouquets, bouts, centerpeices, and ceremony decor for less than 6% of our budget. So, it really just depends on what you can find. A lot of people set aside at least 10% just to be safe. But do you research because for the same things, same flowers and everything we got a quote of $2,600 from one florist and $750 from another (and the second florist had great reviews on my local board).
