Frequently Asked Questions

How much do wedding flowers cost in Ottawa?

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.

How far in advance should I book a wedding florist?

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.

What flowers are in season?

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.

Can I bring my own flowers to a venue?

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.

What is the difference between a florist and a floral designer?

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.

Do florists deliver same-day?

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.
