Centerpieces?

If you girls don't mind - we were trying to get an idea of what the average floral centerpice costs for each table. I would love to have an idea so I know if the florist we are talking to is in the average price range.

Thanks!

Re: Centerpieces?

Ours are about $110 per table, but they are really high. I posted a pic in another piece about centerpieces

Re: Centerpieces?

I paid $85 for low revere bowls with 3 different kinds of red roses, red tulips, amaranthus and a little heather. No filler.

Re: Centerpieces?

I think ours are about $90 each...low with about 3 1/2 to 4 dozen red roses, if I remember correctly.

Oh yeah, there will be 3 votives and rose pedals on the table.

Re: Centerpieces?

$75 per centerpiece plus an additional charge (?)because I had three tapers on each table.

Re: Centerpieces?

I am paying $150 for tell centerpieces, but I am not sure that you really can go by this... Think about what the markup is on flowers. At least 80%!! I would not just walk in and tell florist- I want to spend somewhere in this price range. He'll give you what he wants to give you for that amount. I would show a pic of what you like or describe your dream centerpiece. Let him quote you a price and then negotiate with him. Tell him you showed four other florists the quote and it was lower. He wants your business! The market is not that great.

$130 for Silver Revere Bowls (plastic ones so guests can take home centerpieces) filled with green hydrangea, cream & blush roses, seeds of eucalyptus cascading, scattered rose petals, and candles.
