Floral Investment & Design Scope
Every Cedar Rae Floral wedding is custom designed. While no two celebrations are the same, most couples invest in florals across a few key areas to create a cohesive, elevated experience from start to finish.
The ranges below are meant to offer guidance and transparency - not limitations. We’ll help you determine where florals will have the most impact based on your venue, guest count, and overall vision.
Personal Flowers
Most couples invest $600–$1,200
Personal flowers set the tone for the entire day and appear in some of the most intimate, photographed moments.
This typically includes:
A lush, statement bridal bouquet
Bridesmaid bouquets
Boutonnieres
Corsages and special floral accents
Investments expand with bridal party size, bouquet scale, and premium or specialty blooms.
Ceremony Florals
Most couples invest $800–$3,000
Ceremony florals frame your vows and create a strong first impression for your guests. And the photos and videos last forever.
This may include:
Welcome sign florals
Aisle or ground arrangements
Arch or altar designs
Statement focal pieces designed for repurposing at the reception
Our approach prioritizes impact, movement, and thoughtful reuse of these items to maximize beauty throughout the day.
Reception Florals
Most couples invest $2,000–$4,000+
Reception florals bring the celebration to life and define the guest experience.
This often includes:
Centerpieces - a curated variety of your favorite designs
Table greenery or floral runners
A special floral moment at the bar
Head table or sweetheart table florals
Cake florals and design accents
Guest count, table layout, and the desire for statement moments will influence this portion of your investment.
Candles & Styling Enhancements
Most couples invest $300–$800
Layered candlelight and intentional styling elevate the overall atmosphere and create warmth and cohesion across the space.
Delivery, Installation & Event Care
Typically $1,000–$1,500
This section covers professional delivery, full setup, ceremony-to-reception transitions, on-site floral care, and end-of-night breakdown — ensuring your florals look exceptional at every moment without added stress.
Typical Full-Service Floral Investment
Every Cedar Rae Floral wedding is custom, and no two celebrations are the same. While we tailor every proposal to your vision, most couples invest $4,000–$7,000 for full-service wedding florals. This includes personal flowers, ceremony and reception designs, and statement moments that create a cohesive, elevated experience.
Couples with smaller budgets are still welcome — we will focus on personal flowers and key statement pieces to make the most impact for your investment, while keeping your vision elevated.
What Expands Your Floral Investment
Larger bridal parties
Guest counts over 150
Statement installations or floral structures
Hanging or architectural floral elements
Multiple event locations or room flips
Premium, imported, or specialty blooms, especially when out of season
Tight timelines requiring additional staff or labor
Sales Tax
All state and local taxes are applied based on your venue’s location. In Minnesota, this is typically 6–9%, and other states may vary. Including this ensures your total investment is accurate and avoids surprises.
Our Design Philosophy
We believe florals should be abundant, intentional, and beautifully composed — never chaotic. Our designs are meant to make a statement, enhance the space, and feel thoughtfully curated from every angle.
If you’re drawn to florals that feel elevated, expressive, and art-forward — and you value trusting an experienced designer to guide the process — you’re likely a wonderful fit.
