Working document
The wedding floral quote build sheet
A working sheet you fill in during and after the consultation so the price you send is built from counted stems rather than a number that felt about right.
Free resources
Resources for pricing and running wedding floral work
Free calculators, a fill in quote build sheet and fair comparisons of the tools wedding florists actually evaluate, all written for a working studio rather than a shopper.
Everything here is built around one idea: a wedding quote should be traceable back to counted stems, priced hard goods and hours somebody actually worked. That is the difference between a studio that grows and one that stays busy at the same income for six years.
Use the calculators to sanity check a number before a consultation, the build sheet to run a full quote from the ground up, and the comparison pages to work out whether the software gap in your business is costing or client admin. None of it requires an account.
Free tools
Calculators for pricing and planning a wedding floral job
Two working calculators for wedding florists, one for the money in a quote and one for the hours and cooler space a build actually takes, both free and open to anyone.
Comparisons
StemCount compared with the other tools wedding florists evaluate
StemCount prices a wedding from the stem count in the recipe, so every comparison below comes down to which quoting workflow matches the way your studio actually builds.
Main guide
What markup and labor rate do I need on stems and hard goods to hit a real margin?

About
Who writes all of this
Who writes these guides, a working background in wedding and event floristry, and why StemCount starts at the stem recipe instead of the proposal.
Take the build sheet and the calculators with you
None of it asks for an account, and the material here is enough to price your next wedding properly with a pen. The moment that copying stem counts into bunch quantities stops being a reasonable use of a Tuesday evening, a demo shows the same event quoted from a recipe library that remembers every piece you have built before.
