How Much Does a Wedding Florist Cost? A Realistic Guide for Brides in PA

Planning your dream wedding involves dozens of decisions, but few are as visual and personal as your floral décor. Flowers have a magical way of transforming your venue and telling your love story, from the bouquet in your hands to the petals lining your aisle. So if you've been wondering how much does a wedding florist cost, we've got some answers for you!

The answer is... it depends. And that’s exactly why we’re breaking it down for you.

Start With a Floral Budget That Works for You

There’s no one-size-fits-all number when it comes to wedding flowers. We work with couples every week who value flowers differently. Some want aisle meadows, and others prioritize only the bouquet and a few centerpieces. What matters most is that you feel comfortable and confident with your floral investment.

Most planning guides suggest allocating 8–12% of your total wedding budget to flowers, but this varies based on season, style, and priorities. Whether your budget is $800 or $8,000, we’re here to help you make the most of it.

Here's a sneak peak of one of our recent "budget weddings" and what the bride had to say...“They did an amazing job capturing all I asked for - communicated well and executed. Made my wedding day so much less stressful as I planned it myself. It was incredibly affordable as well.” - Danielle K.

What Floral Elements Matter Most to You?

Every couple is unique, and your floral design should reflect your story. Ask yourself:

• Do you want to make a statement with your bouquet and ceremony arch?

• Is guest experience and reception ambiance the most important?

• Are florals part of your photo inspiration or theme?

Your venue may already be beautiful, but flowers are what make it yours. Whether you’re tying the knot at Aldie Mansion in Doylestown, Historic Stonebrook Perkasie, PA, The William Penn Inn, or The Belle at Blue Bell, we’re familiar with most local venues in Bucks and Montgomery County and can help you "make the space your own” through flowers.

For example, we often work with the Terrain in Devon, Pennsylvania, where the venue itself becomes part of your floral story. Terrain’s courtyard and greenhouse are already layered with potted herbs, trailing vines, silvery eucalyptus, flowering shrubs, and seasonal nursery blooms. The ceremony pergola is framed by mature trees and textural greens; café lights and hanging ferns add a soft, garden-party glow. Because so much natural beauty is built in, you don’t need to cover every surface - your floral budget can work smarter, not bigger. Here's a few photos featuring that venue:

We love to accent what’s already there: think abundant bridal and bridesmaid bouquets that pop against the greenery, a focused ceremony moment (two lush urns or a loose, asymmetrical install on the structure), and candlelight with petite compotes or bud vases down the farmhouse tables. In spring, we echo Terrain’s hellebores, ranunculus, and blooming branches; in summer, airy delphinium, garden roses, and herbs; in fall, textural grasses and dahlias. The result feels immersive and intentional, less décor to buy, more impact for your dollar, and a look that feels perfectly “Terrain.”

We've also recently done a magical fall wedding at The Terrain at Styler's in Glen Mills, PA. The brides vision was, "No huge floral pieces, something more similar to floating candle displays. A warm color palette, with gold, deep reds, and orange. I love dahlias," and this is what we delivered!

Factors That Play Into Flower Pricing in Pennsylvania

It’s easy to fall in love with peonies, garden roses, and orchids, but flowers are a commodity. Their cost is affected by:

• Seasonality and availability

• Weather conditions

• Global supply chain and tariffs

• Design complexity

Our 30+ years of experience allow us to recommend where to use premium blooms (like your bouquet or altar), and where color can carry the impact (like centerpieces or aisle accents). You don’t have to sacrifice your favorites; we’ll show you how to make them count.

Flowers are fleeting. That’s what makes them so meaningful, but it also raises concerns about sustainability. Many of our brides want to avoid waste, overconsumption, and unnecessary spending. That’s why we believe:

“Your floral décor should be purposeful, enhance your venue, and reflect your personalities and vision.”

We’ll help you choose pieces that are intentional, beautiful, and even re-purposeable. For example, ceremony arrangements can often be reused at your reception to save costs and reduce waste.

Do You Need a Full-Service Floral Designer?

Here at Hatfield Florist, we’re not just wedding specialists; we’re a full-service retail florist open 6 days a week, which gives us a unique edge. Our daily inventory means:

• Lower minimums than many specialty wedding-only designers

• Better access to in-season flowers on short notice

We’ve had couples come to us thinking they can’t afford a florist at all, and we’ve been able to work with nearly every budget.

“We used Hatfield Florals for our wedding bouquets and boutonnieres. They worked with me via email to select flowers for my August wedding. The flowers were beautiful and held up very nicely in the heat. I was super happy with my flowers and how reasonably priced they were. My sister will be using them for her upcoming wedding!” Samantha & Will R. 

“We used Hatfield Florist for our wedding in September 2023. Bonnie was really great to work with, and she is so knowledgeable. It was very important to us that we stayed within our budget, and we thought that Hatfield had very reasonable prices. Bonnie was able to give us recommendations and alternatives so that our total stayed within our planned budget. The arrangements she created were absolutely beautiful! I would absolutely recommend hiring Hatfield Florist for your wedding or event!” Bridget W. 

So, How Much Does a Wedding Florist Cost?

Every wedding we design is custom, so the investment varies based on:

• Your guest count

• Venue layout

• What matters most to you

Whether that’s personal flowers, a memorable ceremony backdrop, or layered reception tablescapes. We start with your dream vision and build an à la carte proposal so you can choose the pieces that feel most meaningful.

Your total is influenced by several real-world factors: 

• Seasonality and availability of specific blooms

• The scale and mechanics needed for larger installations

• The logistics of delivery, on-site setup, and end-of-night breakdown. 

Premium flowers like peonies, certain garden roses, or orchids are wonderful focal points for high-impact moments such as the bridal bouquet or ceremony feature, while color-forward designs can beautifully support guest tables. In short, we help you decide where to splurge and where to simplify - without losing the look you love.
