Average Cost of Utah Wedding Flowers
Selecting and designing the florals for your wedding is one of the most fun and creative processes in wedding planning. It allows you to envision what your wedding day will look and feel like in the venue you’ve selected to exchange your vows.
The first question couples often ask themselves when they arrive at this point of the wedding planning process is, what is the average cost of wedding flowers in Utah? It’s only natural to be curious about the total cost of wedding flowers. There are a number of variables that make up your pricing, and not all wedding florists are priced the same.

How Much Do Wedding Flowers Cost In Utah?
Truthfully, the cost of wedding flowers in Utah is driven by our couples' budget. It’s something we are always respectful of throughout every step of the planning process, from the time of inquiry until your wedding day arrives. That total is different for each and every couple we work with. But if you want a better look at how much wedding flowers cost in Utah with Wild Earth Designs, below is a range of budgets we’ve worked with for our couples over the years.
- $2000 - Weddings with a modestly priced budget
- $5000 - The average spend for Wild Earth Designs couples
- $10,000 - Upscale wedding flowers in Utah
- $15,000- $40,000 - Luxury wedding flowers
We wholeheartedly believe in transparency, so we’re breaking down these totals even further by exploring the average cost for flowers by each arrangement needed for your wedding through the details below.
Bridal Bouquet
On your wedding day, your bridal bouquet will essentially become an extension of you. It’ll be in your hands when you leave your getting-ready suite, as you walk down the aisle, and the moment you step into your reception and are announced as a newly married couple. Your bridal bouquet will be handed off during your vows, placed down for your first look, and moved again from your hands to your table when it's time for your first dance. It has to be fresh and long-lasting for wedding photos, stand up to the demands of constant movement, and seamlessly blend in with your overall wedding day style, without detracting from the beauty of your wedding gown. Your bridal bouquet requires a great deal of attention, making it a high priority when determing your overall budget.
Bridal Bouquet Cost Utah | Wild Earth Designs bridal bouquets range from $150 to $350, with most brides spending an average of $225 on their bouquet.
Pro Tip: Work with your Utah wedding florist to select in-season blooms, which will allow you to make the most of your budget while creating a bridal bouquet with depth and volume.
Boutonnieres
Boutonnieres tend to be thought of as smaller-sized wearable pieces, but truthfully, they come in a variety of sizes and designs, similar to a bouquet. For a cohesive floral design look for your wedding, we recommend boutonnieres for the groom, groomsmen, dads, and grandfathers. Ensuring that each immediate family member outside of your wedding party also has a boutonniere will enhance the look and feel of your family formal photos, while also providing you with a small way to honor the people you love the most on the day of your wedding.
Boutonniere Cost Utah | Boutonnieres, whether for the couple, parents, or wedding party, average in cost from $15 to $25 each.
Pro Tip: For a cohesive wedding day aesthetic, select boutonnieres that incorporate flowers from the bridal bouquet.
Wrist Corsage
Widely popular with our local couples, these wearable flowers are often selected for guests attending temple wedding exits, allowing them to take part in the wedding day fun. However, we’ve worked with our couples to create stunning wrist corsages for secular weddings too. They offer a fun, unique alternative for younger and older family members in place of a carried bouquet. Much like boutonnieres, the design process for wrist corsages needs to be considered as part of your overall wedding day aesthetic. Drawing on inspiration from your venue, chosen color palette, and seasonality will help you determine the best blooms for these wearable wedding flowers
Wrist Corsage Cost | These fun wearable and whimsical florals average in cost from $15 to $30 each.
Pro Tip: Wrist corsages can become uncomfortable and unwearable if they carry too much weight; they can also quickly lose their luster in the warmer months against body heat. Try to avoid selecting overly delicate blooms and a high number of flowers per piece.
Floral Arch or Nest
Transform the atmosphere of your wedding ceremony with a floral arch or nest that blends into your space, framing your vows through an unforgettable backdrop. Determining whether you select a floral arch or nest will largely depend on your ceremony space. For example, if you are planning on an outdoor wedding ceremony that pictures the idyllic backdrop of the Wasatch Mountains, you wouldn’t want to obstruct that view, making a floral nest the better choice for your ceremony. But, if you plan on getting married at a mountain wedding venue with a higher elevation, such as The Lodge at Blue Sky Ranch, the views are panoramic and all encompassing, allowing you to work with an arch or arbor.
Wedding Flower Arch Cost | Floral arches or nests for your ceremony are multipurpose pieces with versatile pricing; they can range in cost from $1500 to $5000. Our couples spend an average of $3500 on their floral arch.
Pro Tip: Consider a deconstructed floral arch or nest, which can be moved from your ceremony to your reception space, allowing you to make the most of your statement piece.
Wedding Reception Centerpieces & Aisle Arrangements
After your floral arch or nest, from a design perspective, your selection of arrangements will shift into consideration of your aisle pieces and reception tabletops. We put these two types of pieces together under one category, for two very specific reasons. First, they are very closely rivaled in their total cost per arrangement. Second, we offer our couples a process that allows them to move aisle arrangements from their ceremony to their reception space (more on that further below), repurposing florals for budget considerations and intentional planning. If you are planning on moving aisle arrangements to your reception, it will determine the way you shape your thought process when it comes to design and vision, versus creating them as stand-alone, one-time use pieces.
Centerpieces & Aisle Arrangements Cost | These accent pieces can be made from a small, medium, or large perspective, with costs ranging from $100 to $300.
Bud Vases, Loose Flowers, and Greenery
Whether you are a minimalist at heart, in need of a few accent pieces, or hosting an intimate-sized wedding, bud vases, loose flowers, and greenery can beautifully fill any space with consideration to the overall cost of wedding flowers in Utah. These demure pieces can add a layer of romance to a table with centerpieces, or serve as a primary focal point for longer, family-style seating when mixed with greenery, or enhance a bar or cake table with their presence. Conversely, loose flowers can be made available to your photographer for photos of your invitation suite, rings, or wedding day accessories, allowing them to create a storied approach to your wedding photos. Curious about loose petals for a post-reception throw? We’re happy to offer them to you and your guests, provided it’s allowable by your venue.
Bud Vases & Loose Flowers | These accent pieces also offer a wide range of costs; rentable bud vases range in price from $15 to $40, while greenery costs an average of $25 to $50 per table.
Pro Tip: Bud vases work best when they are designed in groups of in 3s & 4s. This approach will allow a more robust design when used on tabletops.
Floral Instillations
Full-scale installations are often fixed-in-place arrangements designed for a specific setting at your venue. They can be created as focal points for spaces such as grand stairways, railings, fireplace mantels, balconies, entrance ways, hanging chandeliers, or suspended pieces that transform your space, creating a wow factor while inviting your guests into a fully immersive wedding day experience at every touch point. These pieces are best for blank slate venues, and for couples who want high-impact backdrops through stunning floral design.
Hanging or Floor Flower Installation Cost | The pricing of these pieces is often determined by the total volume they will be inhabiting at your venue. This gives them a wide variety of pricing; but on average, they can cost anywhere from $1000 to $10,000.
Pro Tip: Hanging floral installations will need to be coordinated with your venue (which we will plan on your behalf). However, throughout the design process, choices will be heavily impacted by the total weight of your installation and any venue restrictions we need to be mindful of.
Other Factors That Will Determine the Final Cost of Your Pieces
Our process begins by first considering your budget, then discussing your overall vision. We will then determine the total number of pieces needed for your wedding.
The above listed cost range of wedding flowers per piece is a ballpark estimate of what you can expect to pay when planning your wedding in Utah.
However, there are a few factors that will allow you the space to create the designs of your dreams, if you are open to being a bit more flexible. This includes considering seasonality. In-season flowers are fresher, longer lasting, and readily available, allowing you to create more impactful designs that are respectful of your budget, with flowers that will hold their form and enhance your vision throughout your day.
Conversely, if you have your heart set on using a specific kind of flower that may be out of season during your wedding, those will need to be imported, which can drive up the total cost per piece.
Wild Earth Designs Pricing Structure & Payment Plans
One of the things that makes Wild Earth Designs stand out as a Utah wedding florist is our ability to offer our couples a structured payment plan. Oftentimes, wedding vendors will bill couples a 50% deposit to get started, with the remaining 50% of your payment due within a set amount of days before your wedding.
Our payment structure is a bit different. Our couples leave a 20% deposit to get started, and from there, 4 additional payments of 20% are spread out between your depost and the day of your wedding. This allows for a more flexible, broken-up payment schedule that doesn’t feel as stressful or burdensome in the days leading up to your wedding.
Making The Most of Your Utah Wedding Flowers, at any Budget
Our commitment to creating whimsical, luxurious flowers for your Utah wedding begins with your budget. We believe that planning your wedding should be a fun, exciting, stress-free process, no matter the size of your budget. We understand that all couples have a price point to be mindful of, and we work within those boundaries to meet your expectations and enhance your day with wedding flowers that embody your vision.
One of the many things we advocate for when working with you, in order to make the most of your Utah wedding flower budget, is creating floral pieces that can easily be repurposed throughout your venue. For example, the arrangements we create to line the aisle of your ceremony can later be moved to your reception, moved to your cocktail hour, placed on the stairway, fireplace, or balcony of your venue (if applicable), or even moved to guests' tabletops.
The process of repurposing specific floral arrangements will allow you to shift your focus from the number of pieces needed to design and style, which will evoke the modern, stylish wedding of your dreams.
