Florists commonly charge transport costs, ‘set up and set down’ fees on top of the floral prices. These can range from 300 euro into thousands. Be sure to get this estimate before booking and understand the cost can change if the scope of your floral project changes.
Aperitivo
Baskets – 100-200 euro per basket

The Meal
Florists tend to quote per meter to include florals and candles as non uniform table design is the style of the moment. Per arrangement costs are less common.
Table Design - starts at 150 euro/m

Cake Table
Decor on cake - 100-200 euro
Often floral arrangements positioned next to the cake are moved from the ceremony, dinner. Great to reuse displays, but remember this might come at a cost if the team need to stay on to reposition.
