How much do wedding flowers cost in Melbourne?

It’s the first question every couple asks — and most florists make you fill in a form before they’ll answer it. We’d rather you walked into your consultation already knowing what things cost.

The guide below shows genuine starting prices for bridal party flowers, and how the larger ceremony and reception pieces are quoted. Every wedding is priced individually — your final quote depends on the flowers you choose, the season, and the scale of your day.

Every single piece is built the Flowers Alley way: hand-shaped chicken wire and clean water, never floral foam — even at full installation scale.

What actually affects the price

Season. Flowers in season cost less and look better. Peonies in November are a joy; peonies in July are an import. We’ll always tell you what your date makes possible.

Flower choice. Premium blooms like peonies, orchids and imported roses sit at the top of the range; seasonal locals, natives and foliage-forward designs stretch a budget furthest.

Scale and installation. A bud vase takes minutes; a hanging installation takes a team, ladders, and venue access time. Labour is a real part of large pieces — we’ll always be upfront about where it sits in your quote.

Repurposing. The smartest budget move in wedding flowers: ceremony pieces that move to the reception. Arbour flowers become bridal table flowers; aisle arrangements become centrepieces. We design for it when you ask.

Every wedding we build is foam-free

Most wedding florists still build arbours and installations on floral foam — a single-use plastic that crumbles into microplastics. We never have. Since day one, every Flowers Alley wedding has been built on hand-shaped chicken wire and clean water, from a single buttonhole to a full hanging installation. Your flowers drink properly, last longer through a big day, and nothing ends up in landfill that shouldn’t.

Wedding flower pricing FAQs

How much does a bridal bouquet cost in Melbourne?

As a guide, bridal bouquets at Flowers Alley typically start around $300 and range to about $750, depending on size, season and flower choice. Bridesmaids’ bouquets start from around $180, and buttonholes from around $20. Every wedding is quoted individually.

How much should we budget for wedding flowers?

It depends entirely on scale. An intimate wedding with bridal party flowers and simple table pieces sits at one end; a full ceremony-and-reception styling with installations sits at the other. Tell us your budget in the enquiry form — we’ll be honest about what it can achieve and where it stretches furthest.

How far in advance should we book?

Most couples book six to twelve months ahead, and popular spring and autumn dates go earliest. That said, if your date is closer, ask anyway — we can often accommodate shorter timelines, especially for bridal-party-only orders.

Can you work to our budget?

Yes — and we’d rather know it upfront. A good florist designs to a budget rather than quoting past it: seasonal flower choices, foliage-forward designs and repurposing ceremony pieces at the reception all stretch a budget without it showing.

Do you deliver and set up on the day?

Yes. Ceremony and reception pieces include delivery, on-site installation and styling across metro Melbourne, the Mornington Peninsula and regional Victoria. Bridal party flowers are delivered fresh to you on the morning of the wedding.

What’s included in a wedding quote?

Everything, itemised: each floral piece, delivery, installation and pack-down where needed. No surprise line items on the final invoice — what we quote is what you pay unless you change the brief.

Why does foam-free matter for a wedding?

Floral foam is a single-use plastic that sheds microplastics and dries arrangements out. Building on chicken wire and clean water means your flowers drink all day — through photos, ceremony and reception — and your wedding doesn’t leave a skip full of foam behind. We’ve built every wedding this way since day one.
