    How much on average do you spend on wedding flowers for a wedding including the ceremony and reception?

    Depends on the size of your wedding (# of guests and size of wedding party)  If you go to The Knot, you can use their budget tool.  Put in the number of guests and over all budget, it'll spit out an approximate amount for each of your major vendors.

    Well, it depends on whether you go the DIY route, or with a florist, how many flowers you are going to need, and what type of flowers you want. Peonies are more expensive than carnations, and it's going to cost you more for 10 bouquets instead of 3. Also, you have to factor in how big you want everything to be, etc...

    I'm DIYing my flowers, and I'm ordering 140 stems of yellow gerberas and50 stems of white iris from Sam's for a grand total of about $130.

    We spent $800 on flowers.  We did not have flowers in our chapel as there were plenty left over from Easter.  The reception flowers were included in my venue cost.  The money was for my bridal bouquet, 5 bridesmaids bouquests, 2 flower girl bouquets, MOB bouquet, MOG corsage, 4 corsages for our readers, 2 corsages for the grandmothers, groom's bout, bouts for the 5 groomsmen, 2 dads, 2 grandfathers and 2 ring bearers. 

    I certainly think it also depends on what flowers you are using in your arrangements and how many you will need.

    We are spending a little under $1,000 total for all of the flowers for the reception, ceremony, and bridal party. A lot of it depends on what you are looking for, what type of flowers you're interested in, and the size of your wedding.
