Nj/nyc Florists

Hi Megan! It’s almost impossible to think about your floral budget without breaking it down into what pieces you need (how many centerpieces, bouquets, boutonnieres, corsages, additional arrangements, ceremony decor, etc.)

From there you can negotiate with your florist on what styles are feasible within your budget for each item. For example - when my florist pushed back on bouquet pricing, I asked them to supply a few examples of what a $60 bouquet would look like versus an $80 bouquet. That was really helpful for me in acknowledging to the vendor that I understand there needs to be a sacrifice on flower type or bouquet size, but also got me specific examples to compare!

Here are a few great discussions to check out as well with details about different couples floral budgets and what that looks like:
