Choosing a Budget for Occasion Flowers: 50,000, 100,000 or 150,000 Won
Three things set the budget for occasion flowers: relationship, venue and whether the flowers will be photographed
Three things set the budget for occasion flowers: relationship, venue and whether the flowers will be photographed
You receive a funeral notice and need to send a wreath. Then comes the hesitation: will 50,000 won look thin, or do you need to spend 150,000 won to feel comfortable? The hard part is not the price of the flowers. It is whether the amount fits the relationship.
The short answer is that the budget is set by three conditions, not by the type of flower: your relationship with the recipient, the place where the flowers will stand, and whether those flowers will appear in photographs.
Many people set the budget by how close they are to the recipient. But what the receiving side notices first is the size of the arrangement and where it stands. For a home or an office desk, a bouquet or a small basket in the 50,000 won range has plenty of presence.
A funeral hall or a shop opening is different. There, your flowers stand in a row beside other wreaths. In that setting the sender's name on the ribbon does more work than the flowers themselves. This is why a three-tier 근조화환 (standing condolence wreath) costs 59,000 won including delivery: what the occasion calls for is size and a name.
So the right order is to decide by venue first, then adjust for the relationship. Even for someone close to you, flowers going to a private space do not need to be pushed past the 100,000 won range. The relationship can be expressed afterward through the ribbon message and the choice of colors.
For a promotion or a business opening, where people take photos with the flowers in the background, moving up one level makes sense. Flowers that end up in photographs are seen long after the day itself. A full basket or an orchid in the 100,000 won range is the standard for this bracket.
For a hospital visit or a birthday, where the flowers go directly into the recipient's hands, condition matters more than size. Fresh flowers in the 50,000 won range are a better choice than a bulkier arrangement in the 100,000 won range.
150,000 won and above suits flowers sent under a group's name or on behalf of a company. A five-tier wreath or a premium orchid belongs here. Sent from one individual to another, an arrangement at this level can feel like a burden rather than a gesture.
| Budget range | Typical products | Suitable occasions | Arrive in Bloom prices |
|---|---|---|---|
| 50,000 won range | Bouquet, small basket, three-tier condolence wreath | Private spaces, hospital visits, condolences under an individual's name | Three-tier condolence wreath 59,000 won |
| 100,000 won range | Full flower basket, orchid, premium three-tier or four-tier wreath | Openings, promotions and other occasions that will be photographed | Premium three-tier 99,000 won, four-tier 119,000 won |
| 150,000 won and above | Five-tier wreath, premium orchid | Group or company names, large event venues | Five-tier 199,000 won |
With occasion flowers, what causes offense is not a modest amount. It is arriving late or getting the name wrong. A 59,000 won wreath in place on time is closer to proper etiquette than a 150,000 won wreath that misses the funeral procession.
The same goes for the ribbon message. When the affiliation and name are written correctly, the receiving side does not weigh the amount. Arrive in Bloom writes ribbon messages by hand and sends an unedited photo of the actual arrangement after delivery, so you can check how it arrived.
Same-day delivery is available for orders placed by 5 p.m. Orders after that are delivered from 10 a.m. the next day. If you have just received a funeral notice, check the cutoff time before you spend time on the budget.
You can find the products and current prices for each budget range on the Arrive in Bloom pages.
