  • Where the money goes

    Centerpieces are 58% of this estimate

    Fewer tables with flowers, or bud vases on half of them, moves the total more than any flower choice.

  • Timing

    Season barely moves the average

    By quarter, couples spent $2,700 to $2,900, with January to March among the highest1. Guest count and style matter more.

How we estimate

  • Sourced: the $2,800 average, $1,900 median and guest-count averages come from The Knot’s 2026 Real Weddings Study of 10,474 couples married in 20251.
  • Flowercost estimates (florist): classic style is $225 for the bridal bouquet, $50 per attendant bouquet or boutonniere, $125 per centerpiece, and $450 for an arch or altar piece ($1,000 with aisle flowers). Simple is ×0.7, lush ×1.5. We set these so a classic 100-guest wedding with 10 tables, 8 attendants and an altar piece comes to about The Knot’s average. Then we add 20% for delivery, setup and tax; the range is 80% to 125% of the total.
  • Flowercost estimates (do it yourself): classic stems are 30 for the bridal bouquet, 8 per attendant piece, 15 per centerpiece and 60 for an altar (150 with aisle), scaled by style, plus 10%. Each stem is priced at $2.17: Enjoy Flowers’ farm-direct Garden box, $65 for 30 stems with free shipping2. Supplies are $40 plus $8 a vase and $2 per attendant piece.
  • These are estimates, not quotes, and not tailored to your location. Real quotes vary by city, date and florist. Use this to set a budget, then compare quotes line by line.
