Wedding cake and flowers for wedding in Vietnam

Wedding cake: The cost of a wedding cake or flowers in Vietnam is not too expensive. Since in our wedding in Saigon, the wedding cake was included in the catering/reception package, I didn't have chance to shop for it. However, for about $100USD, you would have a beautiful wedding cake. (if I find more information about this, I'll update later; or if you know the price detail of a wedding cake in Vietnam, please do share.)






Bridal bouquet: If you have your wedding in Vietnam, you will find the price of flowers there is very affordable. I think it is because the labor there is cheaper than it is here in the US. An elegant, beautiful, professionally made bridal bouquet costs around $30-$50USD. It could be cheaper if you order your bouquet at a small shop. For just about $15-$20USD, you can have a fine bouquet. Bridesmaid's bouquet, of course, will be a little bit cheaper.






Flower for the ceremony: In Vietnam, the most common ceremony places are at the bride/groom's home, at a church or a temple. Most of the time, the church or the temple will take care of the flower for the wedding. For the wedding ceremony that takes place at home, typically you will need to have a "flower gate" (the main entrance will be decorate with lots of flower), and some small vases of flowers to decorate around the house. The cost for hiring someone providing and decorating the "flower gate" will be around $100-$150USD with real flowers (silk flowers cost half or one third less than the real one.)





Flower for the reception: Usually, you will not need to shop for the centerpiece or any other flowers decorated at the reception site because these will normally be included in the place rental/food catering package. Unless you have specific require for type of flowers or design and the place can not do it, then may be you will have to step in.
