How Much Do Luxury Wedding Flowers Cost?

By Ash + Oak Floral | Named a Top 26 Wedding Florist in the U.S. by The Wed

When most couples hear “luxury wedding flowers,” they picture opulence: lush floral ceilings, walls of peonies, and cascading roses spilling across tabletops. But here’s the truth—luxury isn’t always about more. Sometimes, it’s about refinement.

At Ash + Oak, we believe true luxury lies in intentional design, rare florals, and artistic composition. A single stem of Lily of the Valley, one of the most expensive wedding flowers in the world, can cost more than a handful of traditional roses. A delicate bouquet made entirely of this bloom? Upwards of $750—despite being smaller than your morning coffee.

In contrast, a large hand-tied bouquet of garden roses might average $300–$500, even though it’s physically three times the size. Why? Luxury is not defined by quantity, but by rarity, design, and craftsmanship.

What’s the Starting Price for Luxury Wedding Flowers?

If you're planning a high-end celebration in California, Mexico, or beyond, here’s a realistic look at floral budgets for luxury weddings:

Entry-Level Luxury: Starts around $50,000
(Perfect for a custom ceremony installation, lush aisle, and thoughtful centerpieces)
Mid-Tier Luxury: $75,000–$100,000
(Includes editorial-level moments across ceremony + reception, layered centerpiece designs, florals for cocktail hour, and possibly wearable florals or floral ceiling art)
Ultra-Luxury Weddings: $150,000–$350,000+
(Includes full-scale floral production: immersive installations, multi-day celebrations, custom vignettes, floral chandeliers, and floral storytelling in every moment of the guest experience)

Some of the world’s most in-demand floral designers won’t accept weddings with floral budgets under $300,000. That’s the tier where design becomes floral architecture, not just decor.

Is a $10,000 Floral Budget Considered Luxury?

In short: not anymore. While $10,000 can create something beautiful and have flowers on the table, it won’t achieve the scale, rarity, or layered production expected in the true luxury floral market.

Think of it like fashion—$10,000 might get you a beautifully tailored dress. But couture? That’s an entirely different world.

So What Does Luxury Actually Mean in Flowers?

Rare blooms (think hellebore, lily of the valley, ranunculus butterfly, black calla)
Sculptural arrangements with negative space and intentional restraint
Artistic direction from a seasoned floral designer
Installation pieces designed to transform the venue, not just decorate it
Personalization at every level—from floral menus to moodboards to mock-ups

At Ash + Oak, we don’t just “do flowers”—we design immersive floral experiences rooted in fashion, architecture, and editorial styling. Whether your wedding is in San Francisco, Napa, Mexico, or abroad, we specialize in modern, artful, luxury floral design that transforms space and emotion.
