These are the questions that we receive via email, at bridal shows and over the phone. It really, really does depend on what type of flowers you want. To ask without specifying what type of flowers, what region of the world you live in, what size and style of each item you want, and what time of year you are getting marries is asking for huge 'ballpark' answer.
If you choose chrysanthemum daisies your flowers will be cheap, if you choose orchids (and you don't live on Hawaii or some other tropical island) your flowers will be expensive. These are just a couple of examples of how flowers can be vastly different in price.
Typical bridal bouquets range from $50 to $300 - two to three times as much as the bridesmaids bouquets, because it is larger and more ornate.
For example, on the low end, a simple 20-stem bride's bouquet of one type of bulb flower, such as tulips, hand-tied with a ribbon might cost $60.
In the mid-range, a crescent bouquet with a more expensive flower such as roses or calla lilies might cost $120 and up.
And on the the high end, 40-stem cascading bouquet with roses and orchids might cost $200 or more. Unique Brooch bouquet are generally starts from $250.
Fresh flower corsages typically range from $15 to $45. In general, wrist corsages cost $3 to $5 more than comparable pin-on corsages. The type of flowers used will determine the price of a fresh flower corsage. Carnations and alstoemeria corsages tend to be the least expensive, typically ranging from $15 to $20. Corsages using roses and orchids are moderately expensive, typically ranging from $20 to $45. Expensive corsages including Calla lilies typically range from $30 to $40. Stephanotis corsages tend to be the most expensive, typically ranging from $45 to $55.
The boutonnieres are much cheaper, average $10 to $20. Inexpensive boutonnieres feauting fresh carnations, daisies or alstroemeria typically start at $6. Moderate fresh boutonnieres made with fresh roses fall in the middle range, from $10 to $14. Expensive boutonnieres with fresh flowers like Calla lilies and gerbera daisies usually cost $16 to $25.
Table centerpieces range from $35 each for a simple low centerpiece to $80 for a simple mid-range tall centerpiece made of two dozen or so roses, hydrangeas, tulips or lilies, to $200 or more for the elaborate centerpieces, made with 40 to 50 stems and exotic flowers such as orchids. The number of quests will heavily influence total cost; a very small wedding might have just three or four tables, while a large wedding could have 25 or more. As with other wedding flowers, centerpieces with fewer flowers and locally grown, in-season flowers are cheaper, while large centerpieces with exotic, shipped-in flowers cost more.
We've made wedding flowers for an entire (tiny) wedding for under $700 before and flowers for other weddings which ran as high as $25,000.00. So, as you can see, the variations are huge. Typical wedding flowers have run between $2,000 and $5,000 in my experience.
