Average cost of florist...help

Original post by Brooklynbride

I would like to know what was the average cost of your flowers. You don't have to provide the name of the florist, just the amount. I am trying to get a 'ball park' idea of how much is going to cost us.
My flowers will be calla lilies.
Any help will be appreciated.....

The first one will be our centerpieces
The second photo will be my bouquet
The third photo will be BM's bouquet

We will be having our reception at DeSeversky Mansion and we want sophisticated, classy, elegant clean lines. Kind of 'less is more' thing

Try June Florist on 18th Avenue right off of 86th Street. They did a magnificent job on both my son's wedding and gave 'A LOT' for the price. Speak with Jimmy. We had 20 centerpieces, 12 BMs, junior BM, Flower girl, MOH, Bride, 6-8 corsages, buttonaires to go with the bo-ks, flowers for church and pews and a throw away bo-k for an amazing price just a little more than the 2500 posted.

Check out Flowers by Emil on 18th Avenue & 74th Street in Bklyn - his website's horrible, but trust me, he does amazing work at fantastic prices.

The CP/bouquets you posted should be around:

Centerpieces (10-12 calla's in a tall glass vase) - $85 - $100 each
Bride's Bouq - $125
BM Bouq - $75



I will check them out Thanks

Good luck and don't let Jimmy scare you by how busy he is because he really knows what he is doing.

Re: Average cost of florist...help

Ok I checked with my Florist (Roots) how much a centerpiece like that would cost...but I said 15-20 callas and some wheat grass....she said $75 as a rental, $90 to keep it. It may be less if you do 10 calla lillies.

Definitely go meet a few florists. I met with 3 and got so many good ideas!

Also....is that picture from Giorgio's???
