Wedding Centerpiece Cost Calculator — Low & Lush
The low-lush centerpiece is the workhorse of most wedding receptions — and the place where small pricing mistakes add up fast across 15 or 20 tables. This calculator breaks out stem counts, vessel cost, and labor so you can quote confidently per table.

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.
Tall Pedestal
Add 6 stems of delphinium or snapdragon for height, switch to a footed compote, and increase greenery by 4 stems to support the height.
Garden-Style Overflowing
Add 3 sweet peas, 2 cosmos, and 1 trailing jasmine vine. Let greenery cascade 6–8 inches over the vessel edge.
Modern Minimalist
Strip to 12 stems total: 5 garden roses, 4 ranunculus, 3 eucalyptus. Use a low ceramic bowl for a tight contained look.
Bud Vase Cluster Swap
Split the full recipe across 5 bud vases per table — 4–5 stems per vase. Same flower cost, very different visual impact.

Pedestal Arrangement
Pedestal arrangements flank ceremonies and anchor reception entrances.
Explore →Bud Vase Cluster
Bud vase clusters look minimalist but are deceptively labor-heavy — each vase is its own tiny arrangement.
Explore →Sweetheart Table Florals
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.
