Little Flower's Blooms Pricer

Wedding quote calculator for The Little Flower's Blooms by Amelie, a floral design business in Lafayette, Louisiana.

A one-page calculator for pricing wedding flower orders. Pick a flower style, tap in the pieces, set an hourly rate, and it shows the quote, the hourly pay after costs, a stem shopping list, deposit dates, and a client text ready to copy.

How the price is built

For each piece:

• Flowers: stems × cost per stem for the chosen style × (1 + extra-stem buffer), plus the holiday bump when the date is within 2 weeks of Valentine's Day or Mother's Day
• Supplies: ribbon, pins, wristlets, vessels
• Time: minutes to make it, plus a share of the non-arranging hours (client meeting, buying and pickup, prepping stems, cleanup), × the hourly rate

Each piece rounds up to the nearest $1 under $30 and the nearest $5 above. Delivery is its own line: drive and setup hours × rate, plus gas.

Flat price check

Step 6 takes an optional flat price for the whole order. The app then shows pay at that price (flat price minus flowers, supplies and gas), the hourly rate it works out to, the dollar gap from the calculated price, and four guideposts for the same order: break even, $17/hr, $20/hr, and her chosen rate. When a flat price is set, the client text lists the pieces without prices and shows one package price.

Discount

Step 7 takes a percent or dollar amount off, with an optional name (e.g. "Friends & family discount"). It applies to the flat price when one is set, otherwise to the calculated price. The app shows pay and hourly rate after the discount and the largest discount that still pays $20/hr. The client text shows the discount as its own line; tax and the deposit are figured on the discounted price.
