Is $100 a lot for flowers?
In this sample, 79% of listings were under $100 before fees, and the median listed price was $65. A $65 arrangement plus an illustrative $20 delivery fee totals $85 before tax. A $100 total budget leaves $15 for tax or other charges in that example; it does not guarantee a larger size or a particular arrangement at checkout.
What is a normal budget for flowers?
- Birthday, thank-you or get well: $50 to $70 listed, about $70 to $90 delivered.
- Anniversary or romantic roses: $50 to $77 listed for most rose bouquets; more for two dozen or long stems.
- Sympathy: $60 to $129 listed for most arrangements. Standing sprays and casket sprays cost more; see funeral flower prices by type.
How we built this index
On September 26, 2026 we opened each service's birthday, sympathy and rose category pages in a web browser and recorded every product's name and listed price from the first page of results, in the service's default order. The price is the lowest listed size ("starting at"). We removed items that are not flower arrangements (gift cards, subscriptions, food, wine, chocolate, preserved roses, cards) and size duplicates, and counted each product once per service for the headline figures. Delivery fees are from each service's own delivery or help pages on the same day. We sell flowers ourselves, so our own shop's prices are left out. Our editorial standards.
