Florist

Hello Brides,
I was hoping to get some advice on the average cost for the florist. Any brides out there having a calla lily bouquet? If so, how much should I expect to be charged?

Re: Florist

A lot of florists I visited had a fixed price for the bride's bouquet and it was anywhere from $125 to $175. I thought that was a little ridiculous because if you're looking for something simple, it probably wouldn't cost that much (and not everyone wants a really elaborate bouquet)

ETA: Flower Michele (who I booked) didn't charge me a 'set price.' He based it on what I wanted. I would definitely check out Flower Michele (John is a genius!).

My BM's are carrying calla lillies and their BOKs are $70.00. They have 10 large white callas in a french clutch black satin wrap with a white sheer french braid

i am so happy with them

Something similar with white satin and no french braid
