Does this sound high?

Went to my first florist meeting today and for a mix of callas and (mostly) roses I was quoted 3300..

15 tall centerpieces
1 bridal bouquet
5 bridesmaid bouquets
6 bouts (free)
2 mom corsages
2 dad bouts
2 grandma corsages
2 grandpa bouts

He kinda broke it down for me and he said the personal flowers came to a total of 650.. Which ment the centerpieces came tp 2650??? 176 each!!! Doesnt that sound reeeaaaalllly high??

that doesn't seem too out of the range. they are high cp's and the more flowers they put in it, the higher the cost. maybe you can do alternating high and low cp's to cut down on the cost. definitely shop around though if you've got time.

not really....the high centerpieces start at 100 and it looks like there have been some add in flowers.....the 100 cp's are usually very small...I am moving more and more towards non floral centerpieces because of the high prices...

It sounds high, but flowers are expensive. Maybe b/c its the branches and all. It is very pretty btw.

Who did you go to. Did you get a few quotes?

Yeah that was my first visit.. I have a bunch of appointments this month so hopefully someone will be more willing to work with my budget. The place i went too I kept telling him I had a budget but he never asked me what it was or suggested i take out the callas or anything. Im meeting with Verbena on Thursday, i hear shes very helpful.

I heard this too. Plus they are high centerpieces. Sounds like a good price.
