Wedding flowers are a staple at nearly every celebration — from the ceremony bouquet to reception centerpieces.
Why it matters: Those blooms can add a hefty price tag to your budget, whether you're simply accenting your wedding dress or transforming your wedding venue into a full garden display, so you'll want to shop around.
By the numbers: The average wedding cost is $29,060 in North Carolina, and nationally, couples spend $2,500–$4,000 on wedding florals, according to data from wedding planning website The Knot.
Zoom in: Floral prices vary widely by florist and depend on guest count, the scope of the work, seasonal flower availability, design complexity and labor.
Here are 10 Charlotte-area florists, offering everything from full floral designs to a la carte options, to assist your planning process.
