How much should I budget for Flowers & Limo?

I am not ready to look for a florist or limos yet but I was wondering generally how much I should budget for each of these? I am currently on the search for photo/video.. and I already know what a DJ will run.. but I have no clue about Florist or Limos. I know that it depends on what you order but whatever info you can give would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!!

Re: How much should I budget for Flowers & Limo?

I think we paid about $1600 for limos.
If you post on the vendors board you can get some price quotes from vendors on liw.

Flowers - it all depends on what kind of flowers you want, how many of them, high or low CPs, etc.

Make a list of the items you think you'll want and post it on the vendors board and Im sure you'll get some quotes - that should give you an idea.

FLowers - around $2000-2500 if you are looking at centerpieces and bouquets.

Limo - I just had someone drive me from the hotel to the catering hall (our ceremony was at the catering hall) and that was $300. THan I had the same driver drive us to the airport in the morning and they gave me a great deal of $50.

Re: How much should I budget for Flowers & Limo?

I paid about $2500 for both together.

I had a stretch hummer, 10 person limo

and beautiful flowers.. 15 CPs, 4 dozen in my Bo-K, 2 dozen in BMs Bo-Ks a kissing ball, bouts, petals, cake decoaration, throw away bo-k, and the gazebo decked out.

Look into Sir Oliver and NFW

Re: How much should I budget for Flowers & Limo?

it really depends.

i got our limos for $800 including gratuity for a 14 pass. and a 1958 rolls. i thought that was really good.

my flowers are going to cost around $1500 for 7 bouquets, 17 CPs and all the rest. it's a GREAT deal.

but you could go all out and spend thousands more. let us know specifics of what you want and maybe we could help you better!

Re: How much should I budget for Flowers & Limo?

I agree. It really depends on what you are looking for.
Limos.. what kind of cars, how long you need them how many limos
Flowers depends on how many people are in the wedding, what centerpieces you are doing.
Get prices..
Good lucks

Re: How much should I budget for Flowers & Limo?

it depends what you get of course.

I wanted nice flowers, so I'm spending about $2400 I think.

the limos I didn't really want to spend too much on, since our ceremony and reception are at one location anyway. But Sir Oliver is AWESOME. so...for that I spent under $500. pick up and drop off in a regular classy limo (12 passenger), with a ride home after the reception. I think most spend about $800-$1000 on limos if you're not having everything in one place and need limos by the hour. But that's just a guess.

Re: How much should I budget for Flowers & Limo?

I'm still searching for a florist myself...

But the limos I got a pretty good deal. I'm paying $1250 for a Phantom V Rolls Royce, a 14 passenger Ford Excursion, a 10 passenger Cadillac, and free pick up after the reception in an 8 passenger Lincoln. My total includes gratuity too b/c my FH new the manager. Awesome hook up!
