FAQs and Top Tips:

How much does a bridal bouquet typically cost?

The best go indicator is 10% of the wedding budget should be spent on flowers. The average cost of Wedding Flowers in Ireland is €1,500. Many larger weddings are double that. It's up to you to decide what you want to splurge on, and what you want to save on!

What affects the cost of wedding flowers:

    1. 1. The type of flower, certain popular flowers such as Lily of the Valley & Garden Roses are much more expensive as they are produced in smaller quantities. There is a cost difference between fresh flower wedding bouquets and dried flower wedding arrangements.

    2. 2. The quantity and number of varieties. More flowers equals more expense. More bridesmaids mean more bouquets. More tables, means more table arrangements.

    3. 3. Season: whether the flowers are in or out of season (if they're out of season, importing them will be more expensive). For example, a lot of couples want Peonies for August Bridal Bouquets, however, peonies are always more expensive in August than they are in May or June.
