$85 for low cp's

Hi there,
I got a quote today of $85 for low centerpieces in 6x6 squares with hydrangeas and roses. Does this sound unreasonable to anyone? Ladies with low centerpieces? what do ya think?

that seems about right. If you look in my album you can see a pic of what I got a quote on and I was quoted $90 for each low centerpiece.

Re: $85 for low cp's

yes that's for each centerpiece.

jacklyn1208 but this is for low centerpieces... maybe your quote was for high ones?

We did modest vases I bought myself and just roses (lavender and white) and it was $35 per CP (they were low). The vases themselves were $10 each from Target. I had 12 tables. Flowers were not very important to me -- I just wanted something nice, not spectacular.

I also got these tiny tea light votives and got the flickering electric tea lights to put in them on the table. Those were about $1.50 each.

You can call me a budget bride. I was very happy how our tables turned out.

Re: $85 for low cp's

The 130 was for the low centerpieces, high ones I was quoted 175 but I got them down to 160. I'm started to feel that I'm paying way to much.

I'm paying $40 for low, rectangular centerpieces. Mine are a mix of flowers. I didn't want to spend much on flowers

Re: $85 for low cp's

Thats about right. I shopped around at a bunch of places and $85 was about average. The range was about $60 to outrageous (all for the same flowers)

We are getting roses, hydrangeas, orchids, yellow calla lilies, and hypericum berries in a glass cube.

We are going with a florist that quoted us for $60 a centerpiece. Its a local company with a great reputation.

Happy that is checked off my list!

Re: $85 for low cp's

I think that's a bit too much for low CP's. I had jade & lt pink phalaenopsis orchids with babies breath for $45 ea. in a sq. vase. Although, I don't recommend working with my florist (see my wedding review), I'm sure you can find other vendors that will quote you a lot less. $85+ sounds reasonable for high CP's but for low CP's, it's a bit overpriced if it's only for roses and hydrangeas.
