Getting married in Belgium
Wedding flowers: bouquet, decoration and budget
List what you want to decorate: bouquet, buttonholes, ceremony, tables and possibly the car. That lets you compare the same amount of work across florists.

Published prices as examples
Heliconia Flower in Brussels lists a round gypsophila bouquet at €60, a white round bouquet at €85 and a table arrangement at €35. These are individual shop products, not an average for a complete wedding installation. Check current prices, delivery and setup.
Work with the season
Describe colours, shapes and mood, and name any essential flowers. Ask which substitutions the florist may make when a variety is unavailable. Agree that flexibility in advance.
Include installation and rentals
Ask for separate delivery, setup, removal, vase, plinth and structure costs. Who returns rentals and pays for breakage? A large floral arch has different requirements from loose bouquets.
Reuse arrangements where practical
Ask whether ceremony arrangements can move to the reception, who moves them and whether the design allows it. Have the venue confirm where flowers may stand or hang.
