How Much Do Wedding Flowers Cost? (100-Guest Data)
Direct answer
Around $2,400 for 51–100 guests, rising to $3,300 at 101+ (The Knot 2025 Real Weddings Study, n=10,474); the overall average is $2,800. But flowers have one of the widest spreads of any wedding line — the quartiles run $900 (lower) / $1,900 (median) / $4,800 (upper), so 'average' means little. Region and season nudge it ($2,400 West to $3,600 Mid-Atlantic; $2,700–$2,900 by season). Your number depends far more on your flower choices and how much greenery vs premium blooms than on guest count.
The median beats the average here
With flowers, the $2,800 average is dragged up by elaborate installations; the median wedding spends $1,900, and a quarter spend under $900. That gap is your lever: florals are one of the most compressible wedding lines because the same guest count can be served by lush greenery with a few statement blooms (low end) or wall-to-wall premium flowers (high end). If flowers aren't a top priority, brief your florist with a budget number and let them design to it — reversing the usual order where you fall for a design and then see the price.
Assumptions
- Survey data (The Knot 2025); covers total florals — bouquets, ceremony, centerpieces.
- No per-piece prices are published — we don't quote a bouquet or centerpiece figure without a source.
What changes this answer
- Flower choice: in-season local blooms vs imported premium (peonies, orchids) swing cost most.
- Greenery-forward designs cost far less than dense floral arrangements.
- Season and region: peak-season premium flowers cost more.
Common questions
Why do wedding flower costs vary so much?
Because the flowers themselves vary enormously — in-season greenery is a fraction of the cost of imported premium blooms. The quartile spread ($900 to $4,800) reflects design choices far more than guest count.
