As a professional wedding florist in Asheville, NC, I understand that some engaged couples may have concerns about the cost of wedding flowers. I completely understand, wedding flowers are a pretty penny! However, I'm here to explain why investing in beautiful blooms for your big day is truly worth it!
Here are 5 key points to consider:
Skill and Expertise: Creating stunning floral designs takes a lot of time, skill, and expertise. From selecting the perfect flower varieties and creating an artful color palette with color theory to designing and assembling each piece timely; wedding florists put in a lot of hard labor-intensive work and creativity to bring your beautiful vision to life.
Seasonality and Availability: The cost of flowers can vary depending on the time of year and availability. If you have your heart set on a specific flower that is out of season, it may be more costly to source. Additionally, very popular in-style blooms (think toffee-colored specialty roses that you see on Pinterest) will be more costly due to supply and demand.
Quality and Quantity: The quality of the flowers and the quantity needed for each design will also impact the cost. High-quality specialty blooms such as garden roses, peonies, orchids, and dahlias will generally cost more than more common or standard varieties. Larger or more elaborate and abundant designs will require more flowers and more labor to execute the design efficiently, which will also increase the cost.
Logistics and Transportation: Delivery, set-up, and clean-up (strike) all require careful planning and attention to detail. This involves driving to the wedding venue, setting up the arrangements and designing on-site, and returning after the event to clean up. Wedding florists must also consider the number of vehicles (including fuel costs) needed to transport each floral design and hard goods (ceremony structure, candles, etc.), ensuring that they arrive in perfect condition for the big day. Also, if a wedding venue is located far away from a wedding florist’s studio accommodation fees will also be included in the overall cost.
Customization and Personalization: Finally, it's important to remember that your wedding flowers are a reflection of your unique style and personality. You and the love of your life are a one-of-a-kind gem! Customization and personalization are key to creating stunning floral designs that truly capture the essence of your wedding day!
