How Much Do Wedding Flowers Cost in the UK?

Published: 5 May

When planning a wedding, flowers are one of the most beautiful and personal touches you can add to your day. They help set the scene, show off your style, and make everything feel that bit more special. But if you're just starting to plan your wedding, you might be wondering: how much do wedding flowers actually cost in the UK?

Whether you’re dreaming of a simple bouquet and a few buttonholes, or something a little more styled for your ceremony or reception, it helps to know what’s typical—and where your money goes. In this blog, we’ll explain the average costs, what affects the price, and what to expect from different types of floral arrangements. So you can plan your flowers with confidence and stay in control of your budget.

What’s the Average Cost of Wedding Flowers in the UK?

On average, UK couples spend between £800 and £2,000 on wedding flowers.
This covers essentials like a bridal bouquet, buttonholes, table flowers, and perhaps some ceremony arrangements.

According to Hitched, most couples put around 5% of their total wedding budget towards flowers. But remember—your final spend depends on your style, guest numbers, and what’s most important to you.

Tip: Your flower spend doesn’t have to be sky-high. A well-chosen bridal bouquet and a few small touches in key areas can still make a big impact—especially when designed by a florist who understands how to create beauty with simplicity.

What Affects the Cost of Wedding Flowers?

Several things influence how much your wedding flowers will cost. Here are the main ones to keep in mind:

1. Season and Flower Choice

Some flowers are only available at certain times of year, and some (like peonies or orchids) are more expensive than others. Choosing seasonal, locally grown flowers can help keep costs lower—plus they’re better for the environment.

2. Design Complexity

A classic hand-tied bouquet takes less time to create than a large, wired cascading bouquet. The more detailed the design and the more flowers it includes, the higher the cost.

3. Quantity Needed

If you’re having just a bridal bouquet, a few bridesmaids' posies and buttonholes, your spend will be on the lower end. If you’d like flowers for every guest table, two arrangements for the ceremony, plus extras like a flower crown or a cake topper, the price will naturally increase.

4. Delivery & Set Up

Your florist’s time on the day also affects the price. Delivering bouquets, setting up centrepieces, and coming back to collect vases afterwards will all be factored in.

Wedding Flower Cost Breakdown

Here’s a general idea of what you might expect to pay for each item. These are average UK prices as of 2025 for couples not opting for full-service luxury floristry.

Can You Save Money on Wedding Flowers?

Absolutely. Here are some ways to make your floral budget go further:

• Choose a “Ready to Wear” collection like ours – curated designs in beautiful colour palettes, ready to order without the cost of a bespoke consultation.

• Repurpose flowers from the ceremony to the reception (e.g. aisle flowers can double as table décor).

• Stick to seasonal blooms – these tend to be more affordable and look fresher.

• Keep it simple – a few thoughtfully placed arrangements often have more impact than lots of small, scattered pieces.
