How Much do Wedding Flowers Cost in the UK? (A simple 2026 Guide)
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 our collection wedding flowers packages 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.
You can:
choose what you need from a menu
pick your own colour palette (Leave the flower varieties to us)
collect everything from the workshop in Burscough
It keeps things:
more affordable
less stressful
and still really beautiful
Our style
All of our flowers are natural, seasonal and slightly wild, with lots of scent and movement, using British-grown flowers wherever possible.
They’re perfect for:
smaller to mid size weddings
relaxed celebrations
couples who want something unfussy but special
couples who dislike artificial flowers
Final thoughts
Wedding flowers don’t have to be complicated or overwhelming.
Whether you spend £300 or £3,000, the most important thing is that they feel right for you and your day.
