Clean invoice templates for florists covering weddings, events, corporate accounts, and bespoke arrangement commissions.
A florist invoice documents the flowers, foliage, sundries, labour, and delivery involved in fulfilling a floral order. For florists working across weddings, corporate events, funerals, and retail, invoicing needs to be both clear and flexible. Wedding florals in particular involve significant advance orders, large deposit requirements, and detailed itemisation across bouquets, buttonholes, table centrepieces, ceremony arch, and venue dressing. UK florists are typically sole traders or run small businesses. If turnover exceeds £90,000, VAT registration is required and must be applied at 20% to all taxable supplies. Funeral tribute invoices are sometimes sent directly to a funeral director rather than the bereaved family, requiring different billing details. Corporate florists supplying weekly office arrangements or hotel lobbies often work on account with monthly invoices. Clear itemisation — species, quantity, arrangement type, and any delivery charge — supports both client satisfaction and your own stock reconciliation.
| Service | Typical Rate | Unit |
|---|---|---|
| Bridal bouquet (hand-tied) | 180 | each |
| Bridesmaid bouquet | 85 | each |
| Buttonhole / corsage | 18 | each |
| Table centrepiece (low arrangement) | 65 | each |
| Ceremony arch / floral installation | 650 | flat |
| Funeral tribute (spray or wreath) | 75 | each |
| Delivery and setup | 80 | flat |
Wedding florists should take a non-refundable deposit (typically 25–30% of the total order) at the point of booking to cover the cost of securing seasonal flowers and blocking the date. Issue the deposit invoice immediately on confirmation, with the balance due 4–6 weeks before the event once the final order is confirmed. For event and corporate floristry, a signed order confirmation doubles as a contract and the invoice can follow once arrangements are delivered. If you supply regular corporate accounts (weekly arrangements), set up a monthly consolidated invoice covering all deliveries in the period — this reduces admin for both parties. Funeral tributes are often invoiced through the funeral director, who will consolidate all supplier costs for the family. Confirm billing arrangements upfront to avoid chasing payment from a grieving family directly. Always record the flower varieties used so you can justify costs if queried, and retain purchase receipts from your supplier for at least 6 years for HMRC purposes.
