Tips to Maximize Your Floral Budget

Beautiful wedding florals arent about spending the most and filling every inch, its about intentional design, thoughtfully curated, and creating moments that feel unforgetable that are uniquely yours. Our flowers are customized to reflect your vision and venue.

Focus on the Bridal Bouquet & Ceremony site. These two elements are the most photographed florals through the day and will likely be the photos you print.
Repurpose the Ceremony Florals to the Reception space. This is one of the easiest ways to stretch your budget. Ceremony flowers often can be moved to the sweetheart table, repurposed as centerpieces, used to frame the bar or lounge areas. At Petals & Bark, we plan designs with repurposing in mind.
Rent your wedding flowers. Achieve large scale designs at a lower cost. No seasonal constraints with flowers or colors.
Book early. Florist calendars fill up for wedding seasons. You want to secure your florist 9-12 months in advance
Use scale strategically at your venue. Flowers dont have to be everywhere to make an impact, they just need to be placed intentionally.
Trust the florist design process. Pinterest and social media inspiration are wonderful but real life design requires thoughtful planning, weather back up plans, design balance, proportion, and experience. You will end up with a more polished result and a budget that goes further.

“Wedding flowers are one of the most visual elements of the day, they appear in nearly every photo”.
