How to price: markup multiplier guide
The wedding florist industry standard is a 2.5x–3.5x markup on wholesale stem cost. This covers your labor, design time, vessels, overhead, and profit margin. Anything lower means you're effectively running the business at a loss once labor is counted.
2.5x (Budget)
For volume work and low-design lines. Tight margin; only use when client volume justifies it.
3.0x (Standard)
The default healthy-margin wedding florist markup. Covers labor, overhead, and fair profit.
3.5x (Luxury)
For custom design, high-touch brands, and luxury clients. Reflects full-value design work.
Recipe variations by style
How the base recipe adapts for different wedding aesthetics.
Full Crown
Double the focal count to 12 mini spray roses. This is the 'Coachella-style' bohemian crown — heavier, denser, photographs best.
Half Crown
Use 60% of the recipe wired to only the front half of the crown base. Lighter weight, easier to wear all day.
Baby's Breath Only
Replace entire recipe with 8 stems of baby's breath. Cuts cost to ~$12 wholesale. Popular for flower girls.
Dried + Fresh Mix
Replace 40% of fresh with dried strawflower, bunny tails, and preserved eucalyptus. Client can keep it after the wedding.
