The Hidden Costs of Wedding Flower Rentals - What You’re Really Paying For

The Hidden Costs of Wedding Flower Rentals - What You’re Really Paying For

A $300 wedding arch rental might sound like a steal, until the invoice arrives. Suddenly, you’re paying for delivery, setup, takedown, added flowers, upgraded materials, and even satin ribbons you never asked for.

At Flora, we believe in transparent, all-inclusive pricing, so what you see is what you pay. Here’s what other floral companies won’t tell you.

1. The “Base Price” Is Just the Start

Many companies advertise a low entry price (like $300), but that’s often for a minimal, stripped-down design.

2. Setup, Delivery & Takedown Fees

These can add hundreds to your final bill; especially if your venue has tight setup windows.

  • Flora includes white-glove local delivery, setup and takedown in your package, so you’re never hit with surprise logistics fees.

3. Add-On “Essentials” That Should Be Standard

A satin drape? Even extra stems? Many companies treat these as add-ons.

  • With Flora, our designs are fully dressed; no nickel-and-diming for the look you fell in love with.

4. The Real Cost vs. The Promised Cost

That $300 arch? After fees, it’s often closer to $1,000–$1,200…
Flora’s packages are transparent from the start, luxury faux florals at a fair, all-in price.
