When I first started working as a wedding florist in, I quickly realized that one of the biggest questions couples have is, "How much do wedding flowers cost in Vancouver?" And honestly, it’s a fair question! Wedding flowers are a big part of your special day, and they can set the entire mood—from dreamy and romantic to bold and modern. But the cost? Well, that depends on quite a few things. Let me break it down for you.


The Average Cost of Wedding Flowers in Vancouver

If you’re looking for a ballpark figure, most couples in Vancouver spend anywhere from $2,500 to $6,000 on wedding flowers. Of course, some spend less, and others go all out with floral installations that can reach $10,000+. The final price really depends on your vision, flower choices, and the scale of your arrangements.


What Impacts the Cost of Wedding Flowers?


1. Your Floral Must-Haves

Every wedding is different, and the flowers you choose will directly impact your budget. Here’s a quick breakdown of common floral pieces and their average costs in Vancouver:

  • Bridal bouquet: $200 - $400

  • Bridesmaid bouquets: $100 - $250 each

  • Boutonnieres: $20 - $40 each

  • Corsages: $40 - $75 each

  • Ceremony flowers (arches, aisle décor, etc.): $500 - $3,000

  • Reception centerpieces: $100 - $350 each

  • Floral installations (hanging arrangements, flower walls, etc.): $1,000 - $5,000+


2. Seasonality & Flower Choices

Some flowers are available year-round, while others are highly seasonal (and expensive when they’re out of season). Peonies in December? That’s going to cost you! Opting for local and in-season blooms, like dahlias in the summer or tulips in the spring, can help keep costs down.


3. Size of Your Wedding

A small, intimate wedding with a handful of floral pieces will naturally cost less than a large-scale event with dozens of tables, an elaborate floral arch, and statement arrangements.


4. Customization & Design Complexity

If you’re dreaming of a highly customized floral design with intricate details, unique color palettes, or elaborate arrangements, expect to pay more. More time, expertise, and premium flowers go into creating those Pinterest-worthy designs!


5. Delivery, Setup & Breakdown

Many people don’t realize that florists spend hours (sometimes even the entire day) setting up and later breaking down the floral installations. The cost of delivery and setup fees can add a few hundred dollars to your total budget.


How to Get the Best Value for Your Wedding Flowers


1. Be Open to Floral Alternatives

Instead of pricier blooms like peonies and garden roses, consider ranunculus, spray roses, or lisianthus for a similar look at a lower cost.


2. Focus on Key Areas

If you’re on a budget, invest in statement pieces (like the ceremony backdrop or sweetheart table) rather than trying to cover every table with flowers.


3. Reuse Your Flowers

Move your ceremony flowers to the reception! Those aisle arrangements? They can become table centerpieces. Your bridesmaid bouquets? Place them in vases at the bar or guest tables.


4. Trust Your Florist

If you have a set budget, communicate it clearly with your florist. We’re here to help and can suggest designs and flowers that give you the best look within your price range.


Final Thoughts

Wedding flowers in Vancouver can be as affordable or as luxurious as you want them to be. The key is to prioritize what matters most to you and work with a florist who understands your vision and budget. Whether you’re going for something simple and elegant or an all-out floral wonderland, I’d love to help bring your dream wedding flowers to life!
