Common questions

How many flowers do I need for a wedding?

It depends on your guest count and how full you like your arrangements, but a useful rule of thumb is that a bridal bouquet uses about 25–30 stems, a bridesmaid bouquet 15–18, and a table centerpiece anywhere from 10 stems (small and airy) to 35+ (large and lush). Ceremony installations like arches are the big variable — they can swallow 100 stems or more, mostly greenery. The calculator above adds these up for you so you can see a realistic total before you shop or request a quote.

How much do wedding flowers cost in Los Angeles?

At LA retail prices, focal blooms like garden roses and peonies run roughly $4–9 per stem, secondary flowers $2.50–5, filler $1.50–3, and greenery $1–2.50. That means a single lush bridal bouquet often lands around $150–250 in flowers alone. Full-service pricing from a studio such as Bloom Boom Boutique Florist also covers design time, mechanics, delivery, and setup, which is why a finished wedding package costs more than the raw stems.

Should I DIY my wedding flowers?

DIY can cut your flower spend by 40–60% if you buy in bulk at the LA flower market, but it trades money for time — conditioning stems, arranging, storing them cold, and transporting everything on the morning of the event. Bouquets and boutonnieres are the trickiest to get looking polished, so many couples DIY their centerpieces and leave the personal flowers and ceremony installs to a professional like Bloom Boom Boutique Florist.
