What This Calculator Does

This florist and decor budget calculator estimates the total cost of wedding and event florals including personal flowers (bride bouquet, bridesmaid bouquets, boutonnieres, corsages), ceremony arrangements (arch or altar), reception decor (table centerpieces, head table, cocktail arrangements), greenery garlands, and petal toss. It calculates line item costs, delivery fees, and sales tax to produce a complete floral budget with a per-table cost breakdown.

Real-World Use Cases

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Underestimating centerpiece costs. Centerpieces multiply by table count. 15 tables at $95 each is $1,425, often the single largest floral expense.

• Forgetting delivery and setup fees. Florists typically charge $150-$400 for delivery, on-site setup, and end-of-event breakdown. Some charge hourly for setup labor.

• Not considering in-season vs. out-of-season flowers. Peonies in January cost 2-3x more than peonies in May. Ask your florist about seasonal alternatives that achieve a similar look.

• Overlooking the ceremony-to-reception repurpose. Moving ceremony arrangements (altar flowers, aisle markers) to the reception can save $500-$1,000 by reducing duplicate arrangements.
