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.
These are the two numbers wedding florists most often get wrong, and they are wrong in opposite directions. The quote is usually too low because hard goods, freight and install labor got folded into a round number. The build plan is usually too optimistic because processing time and cooler capacity were never counted at all. Both errors show up on the same Saturday.
Neither calculator asks for an email or an account. Use them on a phone at the market or on a laptop the night before a consultation. If the numbers they return make you want to rebuild your pricing from the recipe up, that is what StemCount is for, but the math here stands on its own either way.
Calculator
Wedding build hours and cooler space planner
Enter the piece counts for one wedding and see the studio hours, the crew days and the bucket space the build will demand before the flowers arrive.
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.
Why these florist calculators are open with no sign up
Every wedding florist already runs this arithmetic by hand, usually on the back of a market list or in a spreadsheet rebuilt each January. You add the wholesale flower cost, guess at the vessels and mechanics, multiply by three and a half, put a round number on delivery and hope the install hours were in there somewhere. On the build side you count bouquets, personals, centerpieces and arbor corners on your fingers and try to work out whether the bench time fits between the truck arriving Wednesday and load in Saturday morning. Asking for an email before handing you a multiplication you already do would be a strange way to introduce ourselves.
Both calculators are worth keeping even if you never price a wedding in StemCount. The multipliers are stated in the open, so you can argue with them, time three of your own builds and replace them with figures that match your bench. Run the margin tool before a consultation to see whether the number in your head can survive hard goods and a five hour ladder job, and run the build planner before you accept a second event in one weekend, because bucket space in the cooler is the one constraint you cannot solve by calling another freelancer.
When these numbers and the wholesale invoice disagree
The calculators tell you the shape of an event. They cannot tell you that nine spray roses per centerpiece across twenty tables became eighteen bunches purchased and forty stems in the compost. That is the part StemCount holds, and a demo runs one of your own weddings through it from the recipe line to the delivery day timeline.
