Re: All Brides looking for a reasonable florist....

I see there was no info on centerpieces. Does she do centerpieces? Or are you not having floral centerpieces. Thanks!

Re: All Brides looking for a reasonable florist....

Am on a very tight budget so I'm encouraged to see some reasonable vendors. Am a little skeptical about her seeming too good to be true. That's a lot for $500. Have you already had a one on one? Did you get to see samples? Thanks for the info! I looked at her website. There is some very interesting stuff. Not too seem ignorant, but what is a beidmeyer style bouquet?

Re: All Brides looking for a reasonable florist....

I too am on a budget. I just emailed her to set up an appointment. We'll see how it goes.

Re: All Brides looking for a reasonable florist....

Hi there - I saw that someone questioned the quote you were given. I didn't use that florist, but I got a quote very similar for the same package. She even worked with me on the centerpieces so there were only $15.00. Let me know if you want any info.

Re: All Brides looking for a reasonable florist....

Thy reason why her prices are so reasonable is because she is a floral arrangement student (last I checked) and wantsto try and build up her portfolio... but she does do beautiful work!

Re: All Brides looking for a reasonable florist....

$500 Oh really!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jenn quoted me $4,000 for a package. Let me search for it. She then sent me an e-mail saying it was a typo and then said like $2K. She did the same with another bride on this site - $4K!!

Re: All Brides looking for a reasonable florist....

Have you heard from Jenn at Jennblossoms= there is no way she is over 1500.

---

Heard from Jenn. It's a lot higher than I expected. Actually, nearly twice as much as LA Blossoms? I thought Jenn was a budget vendor?

Congratulations to you. This must be an exciting time for all. I hope that your planning process is going well. Thank you for considering Jenn Blossoms as your
wedding florist.

I am doing some research on the centerpieces with the spiral candle effect. I am just starting up my business and looking for a supplier for that particular prop.

My estimate for the flowers are about $4000.00. I didn't include the dais because I will not be able to supply that.

Please let me know if you interested.

Jennifer

GOT A NEW FLOWER QUOTE

I found a rental place that has the exact candelabra you sent me. I just realized when I gave you the quote it was for 4000 BUT it should be for 2000. It was a TYPO on my part. I really hope that it didn't scare you off. Plese keep in mind that it is an estimate and we can work out more details to work witin your budget.

Re: All Brides looking for a reasonable florist....

not sure why I'm harping on this....but I cna't imagine that the centerpieces I want are that expensive if Jenn Blossom can provide so much for $500.

Ok - vent over.

Re: All Brides looking for a reasonable florist....

wow - great deal!

For me, Burton's prices came in lower than jenn's.

I can't use Burton's due to logistical problems, though.

Re: All Brides looking for a reasonable florist....

Centerpiece holder and candlebras are mostly half the price of one centerpiece

ive been told that the ones i want (high ) are 100 and up to just rent

times that alone by 15-16 centerpieces and thats already 1500-1600 dollars!!!

The first poster already said shes not quoted for cp's so take that out and guess what!?

Its $500

The stands only cost me $25 to rent and I am getting high centerpieces.

Re: All Brides looking for a reasonable florist....

I think that her prices are still reasonable. I told her my budget straight off the back and I can't go over it. So she stayed within that budget. But 2,000 for all of the stuff that you wanted is really really good. Her quote was so good that i might add centerpieces now.

I figured as much. There is no way the stand is $100 to rent. It may be $100 to buy it though.
