Pricing Guide

Welcome to our pricing guide! Here at Emma Harris Floral, we understand that planning a wedding can be a daunting experience. Most of our clients have never worked with an event florist and it can be hard to navigate the ALL of the wedding advice on the internet. This pricing guide is to aid you in matching your wish list with your financial wedding goals.

How are flowers priced?

The biggest factor in floral pricing is labor and materials. The process of creating wedding flowers is labor intensive and requires many hours of work from skilled designers. Most of our weddings require a minimum of 40-50+ hours of labor, with more labor being required for larger weddings. It is also important to us to pay our designers a fair wage, which we take into account when pricing our weddings.

Materials are the most important factor when it comes to the price of florals! We specialize in luxury flower types, which means our products are more of an investment than your grocery store florist. We also prioritize high quality products and work closely with our wholesalers to source the freshest flowers possible from international, domestic, and local growers.

Whereas another florist might fill an arrangement with carnations ($0.80/stem), we favor flowers such as garden roses ($4.00/stem), ranunculus ($3.60/stem), and sweet pea ($1.60/stem). We gravitate towards these flowers because of their soft, romantic qualities. We invest in high quality, luxury flower types to achieve the garden style look and create the most breathtaking flower combinations for our clients. Why not use cheaper flowers, you may ask? It ultimately comes down to style and personal preference. When you work with Emma Harris Floral, you not only are investing in flowers for your wedding, but an artistic product and luxury experience, created with high end materials by our experienced designers.

Why should I invest in a florist instead of doing the flowers myself?

Let’s use the example of making dinner!

  • You make dinner yourself. You go to the grocery store, select your ingredients, take the time to chop, measure out, and cook the meal, sit down to eat, and do the dishes.

  • OR. You hire a private chef to do it all for you. They have many years of skill and training. They go shopping for the freshest, highest-quality ingredients. They know how to expertly prepare the meal and season everything to perfection. They serve you and do the dishes.

The difference in choosing an event florist versus doing it yourself is 1.) no labor or stress on your part and 2.) a higher quality product than you could produce yourself. You are hiring a trusted professional to take the stress off of your plate. Trust us, you don’t want to be worrying about the flowers you bought at Trader Joe’s on the week of your wedding. Your wedding is a time for your to relax and have fun with friends, family, and your lover. Let us do our thing so you can go enjoy yourself!

Wedding flowers are a luxury service. That’s why they’re an investment!

Keep in mind that floral services are not ‘one size fits all’. We create a custom proposal for every prospective client; every couple has a unique vision and wish list to take into account!

FAQs

Do you have a minimum investment requirement?

Our minimum investment for full service events (meaning custom design services, set-up, and teardown included) is $4000, but we also offer A La Carte event florals for pick-up or delivery between $1000-$4000.

Do you have business liability insurance?

Yes! EHF is fully insured and ready to flower your wedding or event.

Are we allowed to DIY additional fresh or artificial flowers?

While clients using our A La Carte services are free to provide additional flowers at their discretion, clients utilizing our full scale design services may not. When our clients entrust us with their event florals, they are investing in a full service experience of event design, floral preparation, set-up, and teardown services. We feel that when couples DIY additional flowers, it takes away from this experience. We have built a distinct brand identity with years of intentional floral design and DIY florals harm the professional integrity and reputation of our business.

Can we use our own vases/ vessels?

Unfortunately, no. We have a well-stocked inventory of high quality vases, votives, and other floral vessels that fit a wide range of event aesthetics. By sourcing all your florals and candles through EHF, your event will have more refined and cohesive overall appearance. It is also less wasteful, since we reuse our glassware for all weddings.
