Frequently Asked Questions

General Wedding Flower Questions
How much do wedding flowers cost?

Wedding flower costs vary depending on the number of arrangements, flower types, and overall design style. Most couples spend between $300 and $3,500 + for their wedding flowers.

Smaller weddings may only require bouquets and boutonnieres, while larger weddings may include ceremony décor and reception centerpieces.

Barefoot Florals works with couples to design flowers that fit their vision while staying within a comfortable budget.

Do you have a minimum floral order?

No. Barefoot Florals does not require a strict minimum order.

Some couples only need a bridal bouquet and boutonniere, while others want full floral design for their ceremony and reception. We are happy to work with weddings of all sizes.

How far in advance should I book wedding flowers?

Most couples book their wedding florist 8–12 months before their wedding date.

However, if you are planning a smaller wedding or elopement, we can often accommodate shorter timelines depending on availability.

Can you help us stay within our floral budget?

Yes, but budgets must be realistic. and this is one of the things couples appreciate most about Barefoot Florals.

We often suggest design strategies that help couples maximize their floral investment, such as:

  • Repurposing ceremony flowers for reception décor

  • Using bud vases instead of large centerpieces

  • Selecting seasonal flowers

  • Mixing statement flowers with greenery

These strategies allow couples to create beautiful designs while staying within budget.

Do you help match flowers to our wedding colors?

Yes. We work closely with couples to match floral designs with:

  • Wedding color palettes

  • Bridesmaid dresses

  • Ceremony décor

  • Reception design

Our goal is to create flowers that complement the entire wedding aesthetic.

What are the most affordable wedding flower options?

Some of the most budget-friendly floral options include:

  • Bud vase centerpiece

  • Seasonal flowers

  • Repurposed ceremony arrangements

We will always help you identify where to prioritize flowers for the most visual impact.

Do you set up the flowers on the wedding day?

Yes. Our team handles delivery and setup of ceremony and reception flowers, so everything is placed exactly as designed.

This ensures that your flowers look beautiful and are ready for your guests.

Can ceremony flowers be reused for the reception?

Yes. Many couples repurpose ceremony arrangements for their reception space.

For example, altar arrangements can be moved to:

  • Sweetheart table

  • Head table

  • Gift table

  • Reception décor areas

This is a great way to maximize your floral investment.

Can we order just a bridal bouquet?

Yes. Many couples planning elopements or small beach ceremonies only need a bouquet and boutonniere, and we are happy to provide those.

What information do you need to prepare a floral proposal?

To begin planning your wedding flowers, we typically ask for:

  • Wedding date

  • Ceremony and reception location

  • Guest count

  • Color palette or inspiration

  • Floral priorities

  • Budget comfort level

From there, we can suggest floral options tailored to your wedding.

Do you offer artificial or silk wedding flowers?

Barefoot Florals is a fresh floral wedding design company, and we specialize in creating arrangements using real, fresh flowers. Because of this, we generally do not work with artificial or silk flowers.

Many inspiration images on Pinterest, Instagram, or Google feature flowers in colors that do not naturally exist—such as navy blue, teal, or other highly saturated shades. These designs are typically created using artificial flowers.

Fresh flowers offer a natural beauty, softness, and elegance that simply cannot be replicated with artificial materials. They also photograph beautifully and create the timeless, romantic feel most couples envision for their wedding day.

Beware of Temu Flowers

Over the years, we have also experienced situations where artificial flowers brought by couples arrived with strong packaging or plastic odors, which can affect the atmosphere of the ceremony or reception space.

We are always happy to guide couples in selecting beautiful flowers that fit their color palette and budget, while still maintaining the natural elegance that fresh florals provide.
