National Floral Design Day (Feb. 28) & National Wedding Planning Day (March 1)
As we turn the calendar from February into March, we move from honoring the artistry of floral design to recognizing the coordination behind wedding planning – a fitting transition as the spring wedding season begins to take shape.
For your clients, flowers are more than décor. They frame first looks, line aisles, anchor reception spaces, and appear in nearly every meaningful photograph of the day. From bouquets and personals to installations and centerpieces, florals help define the visual story of a wedding.
Couples continue to prioritize that impact. In fact, the demand for wedding florals remains strong and continues to grow. Industry data shows:
- The U.S. wedding floral segment was valued at roughly $3.5 billion in 2024.
- The global wedding flower market has been estimated at around $7 billion.
- The U.S. floral industry overall reached $71 billion in consumer spending in 2024.
- More than 2.4 million weddings occur annually in the U.S., driving consistent floral demand.
In the U.S., wedding flowers typically account for 8–10% of the total wedding budget, averaging roughly $2,000–$2,500. For many floral designers, weddings remain one of the most significant and creatively rewarding parts of the year.
