Description
You can quote a wedding beautifully and still finish it out of pocket. The stems get costed carefully; the twelve hours of conditioning, the chicken wire, the second person on the ladder, the trip back for the vessels and the blown box you replaced at retail do not. By the time you notice, the season is over.
The Flower Costing Calculator builds a wedding price the way it should be built — costs first, price second — and gives you printable sheets to complete for every event before you send a quote.
What is inside
- The five costs in every wedding order, in the order you work them out
- A seven-step costing method covering landed stock cost, markup, labour, sundries, delivery and contingency
- A flower cost sheet that converts bunch price to cost per stem and line cost
- A fresh stock subtotal with waste allowance and markup
- A twelve-line labour calculator from consultation through to clean down
- A sundries and mechanics sheet, costed per piece rather than per event
- A delivery and installation worksheet including turnaround and strike
- An event summary and profit check, in currency and percentage
- How to read your numbers, where florists lose money, and a sixteen-point pre-quote checklist
Who it is for
Wedding florists quoting full weddings, floral designers pricing installs, and studio owners who want their team quoting consistently.
After you use it, you know your true cost before you name a price, your minimum spend is based on real figures, and you can adjust a design to a budget without cutting your own wage. Tax, deposits and business structure are flagged as conversations for your own accountant.
