Congratulations on your engagement! As you begin planning your big day in Houston, one of the most important (and beautiful) investments you’ll make is your wedding flowers. But how much should you really budget for flowers? At Florelle Floristry Studio, we specialize in 

seasonal wedding flowers, American-grown blooms, and sustainable floral design—and we’re here to guide you through the real costs so you can plan confidently.

​

Why Choose American-Grown, Seasonal Wedding Flowers?

Our floral designs use locally sourced and American-grown flowers from small farms that prioritize sustainability, ethical labor practices, and high-quality stems. Choosing seasonal flowers means better freshness, better pricing, and lower environmental impact—without compromising on elegance.

​

What Affects the Cost of Wedding Flowers?

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer to “how much do wedding flowers cost,” especially in a major city like Houston, TX.  Here are a few key factors that influence pricing:

1. Seasonality

Flowers that are in season are more affordable and easier to source. For example, spring and fall offer abundant floral options at lower prices compared to winter weddings. Flexibility with seasonal blooms allows your Houston wedding florist to create stunning arrangements within your budget.

2. Design Complexity

Elaborate floral installations—like ceremony meadows, hanging floral chandeliers, or flower archways—require more labor, materials, and time. Houston venues may also have strict set-up and tear-down windows, which can increase staffing needs and cost.

3. Flower Quality

We prioritize premium, American-grown flowers that are cut fresh for your event. These higher-quality blooms last longer, look fuller, and provide a luxurious feel that imported or mass-market flowers simply can’t match.

4. Support for Local Flower Farms

Choosing American-grown wedding flowers helps support U.S. flower farmers, promotes fair labor practices, and reduces the carbon footprint of your event. At Florelle Floristry Studio in Houston, we’re proud to work with growers who use eco-friendly farming and sustainable methods.​

Budget-Friendly Wedding Flower Tips

Planning a stylish wedding on a budget? Here’s how to get the most out of your flower investment:

Florist Tip: Focus on Impact.  You don’t need flowers everywhere—just in the right places. Consider one or two high-impact installations, like a ceremony arch or sweetheart table arrangement, instead of spreading your budget thin.

Florist Tip: DIY with Caution.  DIY wedding flowers may seem like a fun idea, but flowers are a perishable product and must be arranged last-minute. The logistics of timing, storage, and setup on your wedding day can be stressful. Let a professional Houston wedding florist handle the details so you can enjoy your day.

Florist Tip: Work with Experts.  We’re here to help you navigate your floral choices with confidence. From custom wedding flower packages to tailored floral consultations, our team is happy to answer your questions and create designs that match your style and budget.

Wedding Flower Budget Guide:

How Much Should You Spend on Wedding Flowers?

​

Whether you're dreaming of a romantic floral arch or elegant centerpieces, your flower budget should reflect your unique style and the overall vision for your big day. Here’s a quick wedding flower pricing breakdown to help you plan with confidence.

Personal Flowers (Bouquets, Boutonnieres & More)

Your personal flowers will depend on the size of your wedding party. As a starting point:

• $1,500 wedding flower budget could include:

  • 1 stunning bridal bouquet

  • 3 bridesmaid bouquets

  • 6 boutonnieres

  • OR 1 bridal bouquet, 1 boutonniere, and 6 small table centerpieces

Florist Tip: Your florist can help you prioritize where to allocate your budget for the most impact.

​

Ceremony Flowers & Floral Installations

Looking to make a statement during your ceremony? A floral archway or large-scale ceremony feature can add serious "wow" factor—especially if your venue needs a little extra beauty.

• Basic floral arch with minimal greenery: from $1,750

• Pinterest-worthy floral installations: can exceed $20,000 for large-scale, luxe designs

 

Florist tip: Floral arches, aisles, and altar arrangements are some of the most photographed elements of your wedding day, so they are a good place to allocate your budget.

 

Florist tip: You can repurpose floral meadows and altar arrangements for your ceremony. 

 

Reception Flowers & Table Centerpieces

Reception florals are often underestimated in the wedding flower budget. The more guests you have, the more tables—and that means more floral arrangements.

• Standard centerpieces range in price depending on size and style.

• Want to add a photo wall, bandstand meadow, or hanging installation? Expect to budget accordingly.

 

Florist tip: Looking to save? Skip the extras and opt for candles, cake flowers, and a few key statement pieces for a romantic, budget-friendly look.
