Factors that affect your budget
Guest numbers - the more guests, the more tables and more impact the flowers will need overall. Table decorations are usually the largest part of the flower budget.
Bridesmaids and Flower Girls - Each of them will need something to carry
Large, statement florals - like a flower or foliage arch. Stunning for your photos and a fabulous scene- setter but allow a good budget for these. They are logistically more challenging to make, use lots of flowers and foliages but also worth every penny!
Hints & Tips
Think about the most important areas to you as a couple and prioritise these with your decoration.
