What wedding florals really cost, from one florist and four real weddings.
Rachel Calvelli of Simplicity in Mind (Hudson Valley Event Design Studio), a Hudson Valley floral design studio, opened her real numbers for us. Same florist, four very different days:
Rhett & Michael, Willow Lake, 16 guests: design and florals $6,000
Bird & Bottle Inn, 45 guests: florals $8,500
Liz & Matt, Foxfire Mountain House: design and florals $15,000
Emma & Barney, Audrey’s Farmhouse: floral design $28,000
The difference is never just the flowers. It is guest count, scale, and how much of the day the florals carry. Save this for your own budget planning.
