If you are planning any special events or weddings, make sure to add a line item into your budget for beautiful flowers. From the bride’s gerbera daisy wedding bouquet to the calla lilies on the tables, well-executed floral arrangements will enhance and add beauty to any event.

Some estimates suggest the average couple spends around $1,500 for their wedding flowers. This price will vary depending on the theme and types of flowers used. Even the time of year can affect the overall price because of (fresh flower availability.

Typically, wedding flowers are purchased for:

• Bridal bouquet
• Bridesmaid bouquets
• Boutonnieres
• Pin-on corsages
• Wrist corsages
• Reception fresh flowers
• Fresh rose petals
• Altar flowers
• Head table centerpiece
• Guest table centerpiece
• Cake flowers

This can seem like a lot of flowers but there are ways to reduce expenses by using wholesale flowers and buying in bulk.

FAQ: Bulk Wedding Flowers

What flowers should not be in a wedding bouquet?

Most brides often have their hearts set on a particular flower for their wedding bouquets. While there isn’t a “wrong” flower, experts suggest you steer clear of delicate flowers like peonies, or any highly fragrant flowers. Good choices include low allergen and easy-to-style flowers such as tulips, dahlias, white roses and hydrangeas.

Should I use real or fake flowers for my wedding?

You can use artificial flowers instead of fresh-cut flowers, but that won’t necessarily help you save money. A realistic artificial flower that you would need to use for your wedding flowers is typically made of silk. These silk flowers can often be more expensive than their natural counterparts.

How long will my bouquets last?

A properly prepared bouquet will stay fresh and beautiful for at least 12 hours. After the festivities are complete, your bouquet of fresh flowers can be set into a vase and kept for up to a week.

How can I save money on wedding flowers?

Purchasing fresh-cut flowers or going with wholesale wedding flowers to create DIY arrangements is a great way to lower your overall flower costs. To save even more money, mix some expensive flowers with less expensive varieties such as white roses with baby’s breath or ranunculus with greenery.

When should you order or make wedding flower arrangements?

When you order your wedding flowers from Sam’s Club, we recommend you have the flowers delivered two days before your event. Two or three days will give you enough time to prepare the flowers and to let the petals open if necessary. For Saturday, Sunday, or Monday events, select a Thursday delivery day.
