I really hate asking such personal questions, but can some of you girls give me a estimate on how much you are spending on flowers. I know this depends on budget and personal preference, etc. But I'm looking for a ballpark estimate before I start calling florists. Thanks.

Re: Floral budget
Don't worry, we all ask about cost around here. for a HUGE BP, and 20 centerpeices, I'm spending 2K, the best deal I found. My florist is Flower Den (she did Shamma's flowers, you could do a search and see her pictures)

Re: Floral budget
Will probably end up being around 2k - was going to be 1400, but I will have more tables that I thought.

Re: Floral budget
I went over budget. (My FH is gonna' kill me!) We allocated $3000 for flowers, but I just booked Flower Michele for around $3700 (not including tax).

Lizlen2003-Are you centerpieces high or low?

Re: Floral budget
Michele, I see you went with the fireplace flowers. My florist talked me out of it and I went with roses for the women's bathroom.
No one will probably notice in the bathroom, but after I started writing out all of these checks, I'm glad I didn't get another arrangement!!
How are you holding up? I saw you posted that you have 32 days...it will go quick!
I come back from my honeymoon on the 28th, so hopefully I'll be able to get online, post a review, and wish you luck before your big day!!

Re: Floral budget
Im spending $2700 including tax but my florist is on the pricey side ( i had to use them or another mandatory florist). You could probably get what Im getting for about $2K.
1 Bridal Bouquet (roses, stephanotis, blue delphinium and filler)
7 BM Bouquets (roses, calla lillys, other, and MOH had blue delphinium)
About 14 corsages, and 14 boutineers. 14 pew bows.
My centerpieces were included with hall as well as cake flowers. I used a different florist for the above. The hall florist did the tables and cake. I also did not have flowers at church (just pew bows and candles) b/c you had to use the church florist and they put out fresh flowers every day anyway. I used Sprigs and Twigs in Central Islip.
