Rant: A wedding in Austin made me rethink my bouquet pricing
I did the flowers for a backyard wedding last month where the bride wanted a huge cascade bouquet with imported peonies. After spending $120 just on those flowers and 3 hours building it, I realized my flat fee wasn't covering my time or stress. Now I'm adding a design fee for complex requests. How do you all price for labor on big custom pieces?

My $75 flat rate seemed fine until a peony order ate my whole profit.

Feel your pain on that one. Honestly, flat rates are a total trap with flowers. I tried the same thing last season and a single wedding order for hydrangeas wiped me out completely. Took me three regular jobs just to make up for that one loss. Ngl, I had to switch to itemized pricing after that mess.
