Boston's florists include design studios in the South End and shops in nearby towns like Belmont that take weddings alongside everyday orders. The city has a trade-only wholesale market, the New England Flower Exchange, so most couples work through a florist. Summers are warm and humid, and fall can be wet.
Prices, florists and markets checked October 2026. Every named studio links to where we confirmed it.
How much a wedding florist costs in Boston
Plan on about $2,500 to $6,000 for ceremony and reception florals at a 100 to 150 guest Boston wedding. The Knot puts the national average at $2,723, and no Boston studio we checked publishes prices, so get written quotes. June, September and October are the busiest months. Many couples book 6 to 12 months ahead.

Rests on The Knot national average of $2,723 as the floor. No Boston studio publishes a verified price, so the upper end is a planning estimate and quotes will vary.
Scale runs from $0 to $16,000. The dark line marks the US average of $2,723.
We did not find a Boston studio that publishes a wedding minimum or starting price we could confirm, so the range above leans on The Knot 2025 Real Weddings Study and the wider market. Ask for a written quote and the studio minimum in your first message.
| Tier | Boston range | What it usually covers |
|---|---|---|
| Budget | $1,000 to $2,500 | Bouquets, boutonnieres and one ceremony accent |
| Standard | $3,000 to $6,000 | Ceremony plus reception florals for a mid-size wedding |

Two quotes for the same Boston wedding can be thousands apart because they cover different things. Line them up against these six before you compare totals.
The stems themselves. In Boston that cost moves with the season, so hydrangea and peony priced in their local window cost less than the same flowers flown in.
Building bouquets, centerpieces and any arch or install. Bigger pieces mean more hours in the studio and on site.
Getting everything to the venue and placed. Ask whether the fee changes for venues outside Boston proper or with tight load-in windows.
Vases, candle holders, stands and arch frames are often rented from the florist rather than bought. Check whether they are itemized.
Clearing flowers and rentals at the end of the night. Some quotes include it, some add it, and late finishes can cost more.
Many studios only take weddings above a set spend, and few in Boston publish theirs. Ask for the minimum in the first email.

Full, traditional arrangements in a restrained palette suit formal rooms and fireplaces.
Hydrangea, greenery and light palettes pair with sea views, and sturdy stems handle wind.
Roses and seasonal stems add warmth to stone and wood interiors.
Fewer stems in bold shapes look intentional against clean walls.

These come from how Boston studios price and what grows locally. For the full playbook, see how to save money on wedding flowers.
Lilac and peonies are classic New England flowers, but their windows are short. Ask early if you want a specific variety.
July highs average about 82F with humidity near 68%. Hydrangeas wilt fast without water, so ask how your florist will keep them fresh.
September and October are busy, and October is among the wetter months. Plan an indoor backup for ceremony pieces.
Winterberry, evergreens and amaryllis give a cozy look, and some studios have more open dates.
A common rhythm for a Boston wedding. Move everything earlier for a June Saturday.
Pick two or three Boston florists whose past weddings match your venue. Send your date, guest count and a rough budget in the first email.
Many couples book 6 to 12 months ahead. For a June date, sign and pay the deposit once a proposal fits.
Confirm the palette and the main flowers with what is in season in Boston that month, and settle on rentals.
Send the final number of bouquets, boutonnieres and tables. Most florists bill the balance around now.
Share the venue timeline, the load-in window and a day-of contact. Agree who clears the flowers at the end.
The arrangements are gone in a day. Guests have photographed them from every table, so collect those photos in one album.

Straight answers for couples booking flowers in Boston.
A reasonable planning range is $2,500 to $6,000 for ceremony and reception florals at a 100 to 150 guest wedding. The Knot puts the national average at $2,723, and neither Orly Khon Floral nor Jayne's Flowers publishes prices, so ask for written quotes.
We did not find published Boston minimums to quote. Orly Khon Floral and Jayne's Flowers both quote by request. Ask each florist for their minimum up front, and whether it covers delivery, setup and breakdown, since policies differ from studio to studio.
Many couples book 6 to 12 months ahead, and earlier for popular dates. June, September and October tend to be the busiest months in New England, so reach out as soon as your venue and date are confirmed. Off-season dates are usually easier to get.
Lilac comes in May, peonies in late May and June, and hydrangea in summer. Dahlias arrive in late summer and last into fall, and winterberry and evergreens suit late fall and winter. Ask your florist which stems are local and which are shipped for your date.
No, not as a member of the public. Wikipedia says the exchange has been wholesale only since 1941 and is limited to members of the trade. If you want to cut costs, ask your florist what they can do with a smaller flower count or more greenery.
July highs average about 82F and humidity runs near 68%. Keep bouquets in water until you walk, hold arrangements in a cool room, and ask about sturdy stems. Hydrangeas drink a lot, so ask how your florist will hydrate them. Plan for shade at outdoor ceremonies.
