19 studios in our city guides publish a wedding minimum or a full-wedding starting price. They run from $1,000 (Village Florist, Los Angeles) to $10,000 (Flora Fetish, Austin), and half start at $3,500 or less. If the minimum sits above your budget, you save yourself a consult.
Item ranges: Fiore Designs cost breakdown and Joy average cost of wedding flowers, checked October 2026. City checks and studio prices link to their sources on each city page.
Two quotes for the same wedding can be thousands apart because they cover different things: flowers and greenery, design labor, delivery and setup, rentals, teardown and the studio minimum. Line them up item by item before you compare totals.
Watch a florist price a wedding
A working wedding florist walks through real orders and what pushed each total up or down. Her prices are from 2023 in Canada, so use the video for how a quote is built and the city pages for what to expect in the US.

Shortlist two or three studios whose past weddings look like yours, then use the first consult to find out what the quote leaves out. These five checks cover most of the surprises.
Ask for galleries of complete weddings at a venue like yours. One pretty bouquet says little about how a studio handles a full room.
Many studios set a wedding minimum. Ask before you design, so you only consult with studios that fit your budget.
Put flowers, labor, delivery, rentals, teardown and tax side by side. A low total often leaves teardown or rentals out.
Flowers in season locally on your date usually cost less and travel less. Each city page lists what blooms when.
Check the deposit, when the balance is due, the cancellation terms and the substitution clause for flowers that are short that week.
Most wholesale flower markets sell to florists only. These are the ones in this guide that open to the public or allow limited public buying, handy for a DIY bouquet or table flowers.
A 2024 report says the district has shrunk to roughly one block, with most wholesalers opening very early for trade buyers and some shops selling retail later in the day. Hours vary by shop.
Open to the public with a small admission fee (about $2 on weekdays, $1 on Saturdays per Time Out and Wikipedia), around 8 a.m. on weekdays and 6 a.m. on Saturdays, closed Sundays. Hours change, so confirm first.
Open to the public Wednesday to Friday 8am to 1pm and Saturday 8am to 2pm per its site. Wholesale badge hours run earlier, so shop only in the public window.
A grower cooperative founded in 2011 where Northwest farms sell to florists. Its site says public walk-in customers can buy open stock on the market floor, so confirm current public hours before going.
Its WeddingWire listing describes a DIY Wedding Flower Program with access to wholesale flowers, supplies, cooler storage and a workspace. Public hours were not confirmed, so call before you plan a trip.

Each city range combines prices that local studios publish, local cost reporting where we found it, and the $2,723 national average from The Knot 2025 Real Weddings Study. Every named florist links to the page where we confirmed it takes weddings, checked in October 2026.
Where we could not confirm a studio strongly enough to name it, the city page describes the kind of studio to look for instead. A city with fewer names is not a smaller market, only a less published one.
Start with your city page for the typical range and peak months, then read the six lines of a quote before you compare totals. The wedding flower calculator turns your guest count and pieces into a working number.
Flowers are gone the next day. Guests photograph them all night from every table, so a shared album keeps those photos in one place after the wedding.

Couples spent $2,723 on wedding flowers on average, according to The Knot 2025 Real Weddings Study. In the 20 cities in this guide, typical full-wedding ranges run from $1,500 to $12,000, depending on guest count, installs and the season. Piece by piece, two published price guides put a bridal bouquet at $100 to $350 and a reception centerpiece at $50 to $600 each.
Many studios set a minimum spend for weddings. Of the 19 studios in our city guides that publish one or a full-wedding starting price, the lowest is $1,000 and half start at $3,500 or less. Ask for the minimum before the first consult.
Of the 20 cities here, San Diego has the highest typical range at $4,000 to $12,000. Austin and New York City follow. Many established studios in those markets set wedding minimums, so ask for the minimum first.
Many couples book 6 to 12 months ahead. For a Saturday in a peak month, start inquiring nearer the 12-month mark, since popular studios take a limited number of weddings per weekend.
Most quotes break down into the flowers and greenery, design labor, delivery and setup, rentals such as vases and arch frames, teardown, and tax. Many studios also have a minimum spend. Compare quotes line by line, not by the total.
It depends on the city. Original Los Angeles Flower Market / LA Flower District in Los Angeles and Seattle Wholesale Growers Market in Seattle are open to the public, while several other markets in this guide sell to trade buyers only. Each city page says which applies.
