Sweetheart Table Floral Calculator — Garland & Accents
Sweetheart tables sit dead center in every reception photo, which means clients expect them to look bigger than a normal centerpiece — but most florists quote them like one. This calculator treats the sweetheart table as its own category with garland plus accent work.

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.
Pure Greenery Garland
Drop all florals, use 30 eucalyptus + 20 italian ruscus + 10 olive branches. Cuts cost ~60% for budget-conscious couples.
Floral-Heavy 'Lush Cloud'
Double the focal and secondary counts, add 4 hydrangea for volume. Creates a ~12ft garland effect.
Asymmetric Cluster
Instead of garland, build two concentrated focal clusters (one large, one small) at opposite table corners.
Elevated Arrangement
Skip garland, build one tall pedestal arrangement to sit behind the couple on a plinth or shelf.
