Build a Wedding Floral Proposal From Recipes and Service Lines

Turn arrangement lines, delivery, installation and strike into a client-ready proposal.

Short answer

A wedding floral proposal works best when each arrangement line has a defined quantity and price, while delivery, setup, installation and strike remain visible service lines instead of disappearing into the flowers.

Inputs that matter

Start with the facts that actually change the result. Keep units and definitions consistent so the output can be compared with future jobs or records.

  • Arrangement types, quantities and recipe prices
  • Delivery and transport charge
  • Installation or setup labor
  • Strike, teardown or rental-return charges

Method

  1. Create one line for every arrangement or design family.
  2. Multiply quantity by the approved recipe or unit price.
  3. Add logistics and labor services as their own proposal lines.
  4. Generate a printable proposal and preserve the accepted version.

Common mistakes

  • Quoting one total with no connection to arrangement quantities.
  • Hiding installation and strike inside flower prices.
  • Overwriting the accepted proposal when the client later requests changes.

Use the free tool for the one-off answer

The connected tool is intentionally narrow: answer this decision, print or export the result, and keep the calculation transparent. It does not force a registration flow or subscription.

When the workflow becomes a system

One calculation is useful once. When the same decision starts repeating across customers, properties, products, events or route days, the valuable part becomes the history: what was decided, what actually happened, and what changed. That is the boundary between the free tool and StemLedger.
