How Much do Wedding Flowers Cost in the UK? (A simple 2026 Guide)
Share
If you’ve started looking into wedding flowers, you’ve probably realised that the prices can vary a lot.
One couple might spend £300, another £3,000+ — so what’s the difference, and what do you actually need?
As a wedding florist based in Lancashire, we've worked with budgets as small as £100 up to £6500 so we have seen the whole spectrum. I thought I’d break it down in a simple, honest way to help you plan what’s right for your day.
The short answer
We've found most couples in the UK spend somewhere between:
£300–£700 for smaller, simple weddings - bouquets and buttonholes, a few table flowers
£800–£1,500 for a more traditional setup - bouquets, buttonholes, table flowers, ceremony arrangements
£2,000+ for larger weddings with installations - all the above plus arches or other large installations.
There’s no right or wrong — it completely depends on your plans and your budget.
What affects the cost of wedding flowers?
A few key things make the biggest difference:
1. Size of your wedding
The more people in your bridal party, the more flowers you’ll need - bouquets, buttonholes, table flowers and so on, that's before the outfits, hair, make up etc.
If budget is tight limit your bridesmaids and groomsmen numbers.
2. Style and scale
A simple bouquet and a few buttonholes is very different to:
large floral arches
ceremony installations
lots of large table arrangements
These take more flowers, time, staff, vehicles and mechanics.
3. Season
Seasonal flowers (especially British-grown) are often better value and look more natural.
Out-of-season, or tropical flowers can increase costs really quickly.
4. Delivery & setup
Full-service weddings include:
delivery - mileage and time taken
on-site setup
a team of florists
This is where costs can rise significantly. If budget is tight look for a florist who will let you collect the day before, you can save £100's!
What can you get for different budgets?
Here’s a rough guide to give you a feel:
Around £300–£700
Perfect for smaller weddings or registry office ceremonies.
You could have:
a bridal bouquet
3 bridesmaid bouquets
10 buttonholes
plus towards the higher end of this budget you could have 5 floral table centres too.
This is exactly where collection wedding flowers work beautifully.
Around £700–£1,500
A bit more flexibility, for example:
bridal bouquet
3–4 bridesmaids
10 buttonholes
7 table arrangements and a top table display
your flowers delivered and put in place.
£1,500+
This is where you start adding:
larger arrangements
ceremony flowers - pew end flowers, window sills etc
more styling elements
A simpler option for smaller weddings
Not every wedding needs a full setup — and more and more couples are choosing to keep things simple, a few bud vases with amazing scented blooms, full of movement and colour can create as much attention as a large arrangement that's cost a lot.
That’s exactly why I offer collection wedding flowers here at Flower Farm Floristry.

choose what you need from a menu
