    Consider charging her by the hour. Question yourself, how long would it take for me to do all of them, and then add it together. Or just give her a set price for all of it and forget going the hourly rate. Don’t undersell yourself.

    is she a close friend and you’ll be attending the wedding? if so maybe you could do it for free as a wedding gift? if not i’d charge around $15 a hour. weddings aren’t cheap so try not to break her budget.

    A florist is a skilled worker and as such should be making more than minimum wage. The area you live in determines the going rate. A Beverly Hills florist is going to be making quite a bit more than someone from Podunk, West Virginia. Why don’t you consult the employment office where you live and find out what the last floral shops that were hiring were paying their help? Then just charge straight time at that rate. Don’t forget delivery time (gas too) and set up time if you are doing that.

    When I was a florist (years ago) you priced the flowers at 4 times their wholesale price, because flowers die and you had to cover the cost of the dead ones. So a bouquet was the price you sold each stem for, plus twice the cost of the wire or other supplies, and the time it took to make each item. The customer got a break on the time, because with experience it takes less and less time to throw things together. For instance, an experience florist ought to be able to place a boutonniere together in a minute or under, even a fancy one with ribbon wrap.

    It sounds like you are doing this for a friend. If so, I’d donate my time and have the arranging be a wedding gift.

    the average cost for wedding flowers, including the bride’s and bridesmaids’ bouquets and groom’s and groomsmen’s boutonnieres and corsages for the mothers of the bride and groom, along with flower girl flowers, is $698,

    If you are a professional designer the going rate right now is $25 an hour. If you are a friend, you might want to give her a special price. If you are just starting and she is trusting you to do her work, you might just want to do it for free for two reasons. One, if they are not very pleased with the work, it did not cost them a penny and two you gain the experience and maybe a referral or two.
