Wedding Flowers Frequently Asked Questions + Pricing

Budgets

Most of our couples spend between $4-6k. Flower budget typically falls at 15-20% of the overall wedding budgets and of course it varies depending on the couple and their needs. Some couples prefer to spend between 25 to 30% of their wedding budget on an immersive floral experience in order to create a true wow effect.

We do weddings as small as a single bouquet and a boutonniere and as grand as $10k+.

A lot of our brides and grooms also use the option of A-la Carthe Wedding Flowers choosing flower options with a lower budget and minimum customization.

On average, the wedding (bridal) bouquet would be around $295 with the range being from $155 (posy) to $450 (luxe). We have compiled a size guide as well as color palette reference - have a look at our Bridal Bouquets here.

On average, a medium size table centerpiece would be around $250-$300

We have recently seen a huge success in Bud Vases Tablescapes (with or without candles, cheesecloths, additional decor etc.) Those are priced per table and are typically around $250+ per standard rectangular table.

On average, the flower arch would be around $1500-2000, with the range being from $550+ to $3-4k.

Less is More and let’s create wow factors!
E.g. We would opt in for the lush flower arch and no bridesmaids bouquets, rather than a small arch and small bouquets. One table centerpiece can be a bigger statement that 10 bud vases and cost less. Think about your budget, be ready to cut unnecessary flower pieces, and focus on the main things.

Booking

Yes, we sure do!

A-La Carte Shop – ideally 10 days, but we
can accommodate even same day orders.

Full Service Weddings – ideally at least 1 month in advance and up to 18 months before the big date. Most of our couples book within 6-9 months ahead.

How it works?

Step 1. Initial inquiry , design questionnaire.
Step 2. Quick quote.
Step 3. Consult, moodboard.
Step 4. Flowers! Big day!

We recommend with starting our How It Works guide and filling out the inquiry form.

General

Yes, we absolutely do! Some of the floral items require a professional set-up (e.g. flower arch), while others, for instance centerpieces, may only be unpacked and placed on the tables.

We deliver anywhere in Ottawa and Gatineau area and are able to go as far as 1.5-2 hours away from Ottawa. Further locations may be possible and could be discussed.

Our store front is located at 2784 Lancaster Rd. in Ottawa. We are proudly creating wedding florals all around Ottawa area.

Yes, we do and we love micro weddings!

We are proud to design and create with a huge variety of florals and we believe in the beauty of every stem. Thus, the short answer is “no”. However, in certain cases, weather conditions, seasonality, the wedding location etc. may affect our choice in preferred flower ingredients. We would be able to discuss that with you in the consult and look closely specifically at your case (venue, season, weather, preferences etc.)

Think about your priorities.
Color scheme, special features, presentation, impact – think about your priorities and what is important to YOU (rather than what is displayed on the pinterest board or what HAS to be done according to the traditional rules)

The color scheme often would depend on the season, venue, and the couple (character).
We would recommend talking to us and filling out the design questionnaire.

Wedding Flowers Guide

Words of love from our couples:

The flowers that were provided by Nectar Flower were STUNNING! I genuinely appreciated the consultation that was provided and then the plan beforehand to help with the vision, but seeing the flowers for the first time the day of wedding blew me away with the sheer variety and colours. Everyone during the reception kept commenting on how beautiful they were and how they had never seen arrangements like it before. Even after the wedding, when showing people photos, one of their first comments is always about how great the flowers look. Going with Nectar flowers was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding day.

Nectar Flowers truly made our wedding day unforgettable. From the very first consultation, the team listened carefully to our ideas and helped bring our vision to life with creativity and care. They designed the bridal bouquet of my dreams—elegant, timeless, and more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. The church was filled with the most stunning arrangements, creating a warm, romantic atmosphere, and the floral décor at the restaurant tied everything together so perfectly.
Beyond their artistry, what stood out the most was how wonderful the team was to work with—so kind, professional, and attentive to every detail. They made the entire process easy and enjoyable, and I always felt confident that everything would turn out perfectly (and it absolutely did!). We received so many compliments from our guests on how gorgeous the flowers were, and it’s something we’ll remember forever.
Thank you, Nectar Flowers, for going above and beyond to make our day so special. We couldn’t be more grateful!

Our experience with Nectar Flowers and Kseniia for our wedding flowers was amazing. From our consultation to our final details and the day of, I was in love with our finished product! Our larger arrangements at the altar were draw dropping. So many people commented on how amazing our flowers were. I wish I could have kept them forever.
I’d recommend Nectar Flowers to anyone and would trust them again in a heart beat to create beautiful arrangements!
Thank you so much Kseniia!

I cannot say enough good things about this Florist shop! They were amazing to work with for my wedding, and cannot recommend them enough. From the initial email I sent, Anastasia was so friendly and accommodating, providing all the information I needed. The consultation was a dream, Kseniia had mock flower arrangements set up so I could see what we would have for the wedding day. She really understood my vision from the get go. The flowers were exactly what we wanted! Anytime I emailed to change or add something, they were extremely accommodating and always incredibly kind. 1000% recommend!
