1. Longer stems are more expensive.
Flowers with long, straight stems take longer to grow, require more space, and are generally considered a premium grade by growers and wholesalers.
2. Longer stems usually have larger flower heads.
The extra growing time often results in bigger, more impressive blooms, which is why tall arrangements can have such impact.
3. Height adds cost more quickly than width.
Creating tall designs often requires premium flowers, specialist support mechanics, and larger quantities of foliage to maintain the correct proportions.
4. Flowers are priced by stem, not by arrangement. Two arrangements of the same size can vary significantly in cost depending on the flower varieties used.
5. Some flowers continue to open after they’re arranged.
Peonies, roses and many seasonal flowers can look quite different on the wedding day compared to when they are first designed.
