$175 FOR CENTERPIECES-R THEY ALL CARZY?!

No, no, that was included in the florist's price - it was $85 a centerpc for pedestal (choice of) and flowers. I know some florists that sell you the pedestals so I wasnt clear what her price included. I think $175 is a bit high and can be negotiated down. Let's just say EVERYTHING can be negotiated with regard to weddings.

Dont be fooled by wedding vendors that say a high price tag = better flowers necessarily. Do your homework and you can get quality flowers as well as value.

I spent $2200 for flowers and this is what I got at Flowers By Lorraine in Massapequa:

My bo-k (roses, stephanotis, callas)
MOH bo-k (larger than bms with calla lillies)
3 bm bo-ks (roses, delphinium, white stock, green lisentheus sp?)
8 bouts
8 corsages
bows for church
throwaway bo-k (free)
table arrangement for hall (free)
table arrangement for house
16 high centerpcs with 2 dozen roses and ivy, baby breath, silver pedestals rental
1.5 dozen rose petals, buds for cake

She was great - also didnt charge me tax since I paid in cash.
