The answer is as individual as each bridal couple’s needs are different. There are a number of variables, and each wedding is, in essence, a custom order. Some factors to consider are: the number of bridesmaids, the number of reception centerpieces, the size, type and shape of your floral bouquets are all factors that will affect the overall cost of your floral décor. A good rule of thumb is that your wedding floral & décor budget should be 10-20% of your overall wedding budget.1262990568http://w.mediaangels.com/home/faq/how-much-do-flowers-cost2010-01-08T16:42:48-06:002010-01-08T16:42:48-06:00Is a Deposit required?lauralynnYour deposit as listed in your contract will guarantee your date and your prices (excluding any changes).
