Wedding florals in Canada typically range from $2,000-$8,000 for a full package (bridal bouquet, bridesmaids, boutonnieres, centrepieces, ceremony). A bridal bouquet alone runs $150-$400. Costs vary by season, flower selection, and design complexity.

Book your wedding florist 8-12 months before the date. Popular florists book up a year ahead for peak season (May-October). For other events, 2-4 weeks is usually sufficient. Same-day delivery is available from most local florists.

Spring: tulips, peonies, ranunculus. Summer: roses, dahlias, sunflowers, hydrangeas. Fall: chrysanthemums, marigolds, dahlias. Winter: amaryllis, evergreens, hellebores. In-season flowers are fresher, last longer, and cost less.

Most venues allow outside florists. Some have preferred vendor lists. Ask about delivery windows, setup time, and whether the venue provides vases. Some florists charge a venue setup fee for delivery and arrangement on-site.

A florist runs a flower shop and handles daily arrangements and deliveries. A floral designer specializes in custom event design — wedding installations, ceremony arches, and large-scale decor. For weddings, look for someone who specializes in event work.

Most local florists offer same-day delivery if you order before noon. Delivery fees range from $10-$25 within the city. For sympathy flowers, many florists deliver directly to funeral homes. Online-only services may not guarantee same-day.
