FAQ

What’s the average cost of wedding flowers in Santa Fe?
Most Lovely Leaves couples spend between $2,500 and $6,500 on wedding flowers in Santa Fe, Taos, and Albuquerque. Our minimum starts at $1,800, and while we do have a lot of large weddings, we also love working with smaller destination weddings and couples who only need personal flowers like bridal bouquets, boutonnieres, and corsages. Your total depends on the season, the blooms you choose, and how many pieces you need. Bigger designs and premium flowers cost more.

Which wedding flowers work best for a Santa Fe or high desert wedding?
Lucky for New Mexico couples, most of our favorite wedding flowers are available year-round and handle Santa Fe’s dry air and altitude beautifully. We design with garden roses, orchids, anthuriums, butterfly ranunculus, double tulips, calla lilies, lisianthus, sunflowers, mums, and colored hydrangeas, then layer in texture with amaranthus, grasses, sedum, allium, and Queen Anne’s lace. Peonies still have my heart from our Kentucky days, but they’re only reliable April through May and November through December. And if you’re dreaming of a desert wedding with cactus and succulents, I’m your florist. I have a house full of cacti and can’t wait to design with them.
