$50-$60 floral centerpieces....

Im starting to look at florists and really dont want to spend more than $50 for centerpieces. I wanted to just do roses.

Can you ladies please post any pictures of centerpieces in that price range.

Thanks!

Try Verbena Designs. Jenn may be able to help. She is very talented.

This is not the best of pictures. I took it with my cell phone. Although my florist did not give me a price per centerpiece, another florist quoted me $60 for this.

I am supplying the vase ($2 from AC Moore) and the petals are included.

ETA: That centerpeice contains 5 branches of white hydrangeas and 6 red roses.

ditto. mine were less than that. i used verbena and the work was incredible. are you okay with low cps? i never wanted high ones so the price of the low was just a nice perk!

ours were smaller but i think you could even go larger for a little less than 50-60.

heres ours

That's going to be really tough! Have you ever thought of DIY?

Re: $50-$60 floral centerpieces....

I definitely think it is possible. Shop around and dont settle on something that you don't like. Pick flowers that are in season to save money and try to pick larger flowers that take up more space. It is definitely possible it just might take a little more leg work on your part.

Re: $50-$60 floral centerpieces....

I'm sure you'll be able to do something weather its DIY or through a florist... I also chose an all rose CP and they where well over $100 each so I am not even going to bother sending you the pic... Sorry I couldn't be of more help

Re: $50-$60 floral centerpieces....

thanks girls. im going to try some of the places you recommended. we wanted to keep it in that range bc our RH provides candelabras for $50 each and we are going to use them to keep costs down, but now i want flowers. so just trying to see if its possible!

My main centerpiece was $65 I know that is over your budget but i think it could be modified to make it less depending on the florist you go to. I used flower michele.

Re: $50-$60 floral centerpieces....

Have you tried any local florists? Some people might scoff at that but they can do beautiful work. PLUS they are much more willing to work with you on pricing. I had an even lower budget that I was willing to spend on centerpieces (not a huge flower fan) so I found what I wanted, brought in the picture and the first price she gave me I negotiated down! So I'm getting what I want at a nice, low price But if you do consider doing this, only use a florist that has been around for awhile - the one I'm using has been in business over 20 years and has done many weddings. GL!

Re: $50-$60 floral centerpieces....

check out Burton's for flowers---i bet they could work with your budget

if you use candelabras from your hall--you can just have them sprinkle lots of rose petals around..that might work?

Re: $50-$60 floral centerpieces....

I know this may sound crazy, but have you checked with some of the online vendors like proflowers or 1 800 flowers? They have some pretty arrangements for under 60, you would have to deliver them, but they may be in your price range

I second that - a few years ago Laurie did an amazing centerpiece for my daughter's birthday which was roses and something else for $65. Of course this was a few years ago but the centerpiece was pretty big in a silver bowl.

I'm sure she'll be able to work in your budget and do something fantastic - she rocks.
