How does floral design pricing work?
That’s a common question, but a difficult one to answer. Most retail florist price items by calculating the costs of the materials and then marking up those costs to determine the price of the final product. That’s why so many websites advise saving costs by using more affordable flowers or fewer flowers. At Blue Bouquet, we work a bit differently. We are designers first and foremost and our real product is our creativity. To determine the cost of an event, we start by figuring out how much time and effort it will take. The materials flowers and materials factor in as well, but not as much as you might think. Usually you’ll find that our prices are comparable to those of reputable retail florists. The advantage of working with Blue Bouquet is that we focus entirely on weddings and events, so we can offer levels of design and service that retail florists can not.
