It depends on a few key factors—your overall guest count, venue type, the style you’re going for, and how many floral pieces you’d like throughout the day. But for most of our couples planning a wedding with 50 to 100 guests, the average floral investment typically ranges from $7,000 to $12,000+.

This often includes key pieces like ceremony arrangements (such as floral arches or aisle markers), personal florals (bouquets, boutonnieres, corsages), reception centerpieces, and statement pieces for key moments like your welcome table, seating chart, or sweetheart table.

We know that budgeting for florals can feel overwhelming when you’re looking at everything from Pinterest inspiration to vendor quotes. That’s why our process starts with getting clear on your vision, your priorities, and your budget—then guiding you through what’s realistic and beautiful without compromising on style. You’ll receive clear recommendations based on seasonality, what works best in your venue, and how to make the biggest impact with what you’re investing.

If you’d like help getting started, we can send over a comprehensive checklist of typical floral items you may want to consider, customized to your venue and guest count. That way, you’re never guessing what you’ll need—and you’re never paying for what you don’t.

The average cost for a bridal bouquet typically ranges between $400 and $600, depending on your flower selection, color palette, size, and overall style.

We always start our floral production by creating the bride’s bouquet first—this is the centerpiece of the entire floral story, and it sets the tone for everything else. It’s the one piece that will be in nearly every photo, and the one you’ll remember most. So we treat it with extra care.

To design it, we hand-select the most beautiful blooms from your chosen color palette—often using more premium varieties, layered textures, and delicate details that tie into the rest of your day. The bridesmaids’ bouquets are designed to complement yours with slightly simpler styling and fewer varieties, keeping the focus where it belongs—on you.

If you’re working with a soft, garden-inspired look, we often include flowers like roses, ranunculus, lisianthus, and other seasonal varieties that bring movement and natural elegance. And if certain blooms are out of season, we’ll suggest stunning alternatives that stay true to your vision without sacrificing quality or cohesion.

It’s a fair question—and one we hear a lot! The truth is, wedding florals are a premium service because of the time, skill, and care that go into every single step of the process. It’s not just about the flowers themselves (although they are a major part of the cost)—it’s about the experience, logistics, and hands-on work behind the scenes.

Let’s break it down:

We source only premium, event-grade blooms through trusted wholesalers who import fresh flowers from all over the world—far beyond what you’d find at a local grocery store. These flowers are bred for beauty, longevity, and quality, but they also come at a higher cost, especially when you want specific varieties or off-season blooms.

Once the flowers arrive, we process them carefully over several days. That means stripping thorns and leaves, re-cutting stems, hydrating them properly, storing them in a floral fridge, and monitoring them so they open at just the right time. The prep starts days before your event to ensure everything is fresh and photo-ready.

The design process itself is detailed and highly customized. Your bridal bouquet is hand-built bloom by bloom. Ceremony arches or installations often need to be built on-site. Reception pieces may need to be transported in large vehicles and set up the morning of your wedding, sometimes within tight timeframes allowed by venues. All of this requires a trained team, specific tools, and sometimes multiple vehicles or staff depending on the complexity of the design.

After the wedding, our work isn’t done. We return to your venue to handle teardown and cleanup, pick up any rental vessels or items we provided, and carefully clean and store everything for future use. This post-event service is part of what makes the entire experience feel seamless to you—because we’re there long after the photos have been taken.

We also design using color palettes rather than promising specific flower types, to protect you from last-minute floral shortages due to weather or shipping delays (which are especially common with imported flowers in Canada). If a specific flower doesn’t arrive in the condition we expect, we take the time and care to substitute blooms of equal beauty and value that still stay true to your vision—at no extra cost to you.

In short: floral design is a full-service experience, not just a product. You’re investing in days of prep, hours of design, and a team who’s there to make sure every petal is in place—so you don’t have to lift a finger.

Booking a florist—especially one who also offers planning or vendor coordination—should feel easy, clear, and supportive. Here’s what our process looks like at A Timeless Celebration.

We start with a simple inquiry where you share your wedding date, venue, and a few vision details. If we’re available, we’ll book a consultation call (usually via Zoom) to walk through your ideas, budget, and priorities. You don’t need to have everything figured out—we’ll guide you.

After our call, we’ll put together a custom proposal outlining floral items and services tailored to your wedding. That includes the floral design, rentals (if needed), and any additional services you might need, like vendor referrals or full planning. We’re all about clarity, so you’ll see exactly what’s included and where you can adjust based on your vision and comfort level.

Most of our couples are planning from out of town, so we’ve streamlined the entire experience to work beautifully through email, Zoom, and shared inspiration boards. In fact, we book more than 90% of our couples without ever meeting in person until the wedding day—and it works seamlessly.

During the design phase, we’ll collaborate through shared visuals, clear timelines, and intentional recommendations. If needed, we also offer venue walkthroughs or on-site design consultations, especially for more complex installations. And once you’re officially booked, your wedding weekend is fully reserved for you—we don’t double book.

Whether you’re booking florals only or pairing them with planning services, the process is designed to feel supportive, not overwhelming. From inquiry to execution, we make sure you know what to expect and when—so you can enjoy the process with confidence and ease.

The short answer: as early as you can—especially if floral design is an important part of your wedding vision.

Most of our couples reach out 9 to 18 months in advance, especially for popular spring and fall wedding dates. We take on a limited number of weddings each year to give each client our full attention, so once a weekend is booked, it’s no longer available.

That said, if we’re still open, we’ve absolutely pulled off full floral design for weddings with just a few weeks’ notice—so it’s always worth reaching out.

Booking early also helps you in a few key ways:

• It gives you a better sense of how much of your budget to allocate toward florals and where you’ll get the most impact.

• You’ll have time to collaborate and explore ideas without last-minute pressure.

• You’ll be able to lock in your preferred style, color palette, and any specialty rental items we carry.

If you already have a wedding date and venue, you’re in a great place to start the floral conversation. The earlier we connect, the more intentional we can be with every detail.

Hiring the right florist isn’t just about liking their portfolio—it’s about trusting them to guide you through the design process, work with your vendors, and bring your vision to life under real-world conditions.

Here are a few helpful questions to ask before you book:

• What is your floral design style, and do you adapt based on the client’s vision?

• Can I see a portfolio of weddings you’ve designed?

• Do you take on multiple weddings per weekend, or are you exclusive to one couple?

• How do you handle floral substitutions if something is unavailable?

• What’s your process for working with out-of-town couples?

• Do you offer rentals or styling items in addition to florals?

• What does the booking and design timeline look like?

• Do you require a deposit and contract to secure the date?

You can find the answers to most of these on our website or during our initial consultation. We’re happy to walk you through it all and make sure you feel totally confident moving forward.

The most popular wedding flowers in Montreal tend to reflect both seasonality and style. Most of our clients are drawn to refined, organic, garden-inspired florals, with a white and green palette that feels clean, natural, and timeless.

Some of the blooms we use most often in our signature style include:

• Roses (standard and garden)

• Spray roses

• Ranunculus

• Lisianthus

• Tulips

• Scabiosa

• Sweet peas

• Peonies (in season)

• Dahlias (in season)

• Anemones
  And for greenery: a mix of eucalyptus varieties (like silver dollar, seeded, and parvifolia) plus textural accents like olive, ruscus, and salal.

Rather than designing around specific flowers, we work with color palettes and overall feel, which allows us to source the freshest, in-season blooms while still staying true to your aesthetic. We’ll guide you through what’s available based on your wedding date and help you make floral choices that are both beautiful and practical.

Our full planning service covers every part of the process—from setting a clear vision to final execution. That includes venue selection support, budget guidance, vendor referrals, timeline creation, design direction, and day-of coordination.

We become your go-to contact for all things wedding-related—making decisions easier, solving problems before they arise, and ensuring you’re supported every step of the way. The goal is to eliminate the overwhelm, so you can focus on what matters most: enjoying your engagement and celebrating your love.

Definitely. In fact, many of our clients are planning their Montreal wedding from another province or country.

We’ve refined our process to make remote planning feel smooth and stress-free. You’ll get clear communication, Zoom consultations, vision boards, and design proposals all managed online. We act as your boots on the ground—visiting venues, coordinating with vendors, and ensuring everything is moving forward, even if you’re not here in person.

Absolutely—we know how overwhelming it can feel to search for reliable vendors, especially when your inbox is flooded with quotes and you don’t know who to trust. That’s why we offer intentional vendor recommendations based on your specific needs and vision, not just a generic list.

Whether you’re still looking for a photographer, makeup artist, caterer, or entertainment, we can suggest professionals we’ve worked with who are aligned with your style, expectations, and budget. These are people we’ve seen in action—vendors who show up on time, communicate clearly, and care as much about the client experience as we do.

We’ll guide you through the process and recommend vendors based on what’s actually going to work—not just what looks good online. That way, you can skip the overwhelming search and focus on building a team you trust.

We don’t offer day-of coordination—and here’s why. In our experience, showing up on the day-of without having time to truly understand your wedding plans, your vendors, and the flow of the day doesn’t serve you well.

Instead, we offer month-of coordination, which allows us the time and space to step in with intention. About 4 weeks before your wedding, we begin the handover process. This gives our team the opportunity to fully understand everything you’ve planned, get to know your vision and vendors, review your contracts, and collaborate with you to fine-tune your timeline and logistics.

We’ll confirm all your vendor details, identify any gaps, and make sure everything flows smoothly and realistically. That way, on the day of your wedding, we’re not just showing up—we’re fully prepared to manage the behind-the-scenes, support your vendors, and make sure the entire experience feels calm, seamless, and exactly how you envisioned.

Our goal is to protect the experience for both you and your guests—and that requires more than just showing up day-of. Month-of coordination gives us the time to make sure everything runs beautifully.

Yes! One of the most valuable parts of working with us is that we offer both wedding planning and floral design under one roof. That means a smoother experience, a cohesive aesthetic, and one less vendor to manage.

Many of our couples are busy professionals or planning from out of town. They don’t have the time to coordinate between a planner and florist, compare endless quotes, or ensure design decisions make sense across the board. By offering both services, we’re able to align everything—from timelines and vendor logistics to color palettes and floral installations—seamlessly.

You’ll still receive the same level of detail and care, but with fewer handoffs, less back-and-forth, and more confidence that everything is flowing with intention. And whether you book us for full planning or just month-of coordination, we work closely with your vendor team to make sure the guest experience and overall vision are always at the forefront.
