Good Morning ladies. I have my first appointment for flowers tomorrow.
Does anyone know what is considered 'average' for a budget for flowers? I really have no idea how much it should cost.
I have six bridesmaids, seven groomsmen, My Mom, Grooms's mom, No flowers at the church and 150 people at the reception (figure 15 tables).
I am afraid they will ask me this question ('What's your budget') and I really don't know what it is supposed to cost! I know it is depending on what flowers you choose, sizes of arrangements, etc. But could you let me know what your budgets are/what your flowers have cost?
Thanks in advance! Gina

Try your local florist. I was quoted through some of the big named companies listed on here and was floored. I only wanted to spend $1500. I am doing candles (buying them on my own 7 supplying all glassware and candles, just wanted a submerged orchid for them). Everyone quoted me insane proces, even with the glassware (most only knocking off $10/centerpiece). For the heck of it I visited my local florist who will set them up for me as long as I buy the flowers. My quote was $1200 to set up 20 candle centerpieces/orchids, my BOK, 6 BM, 1 JR, 12 bout's, 2 MOM's cors, 1 stepmom, 2 godmother, 2 grandma. It's def worth checking out to save!!
Thanks so much for the input and advice.
Where are you getting your glassware from? I saw a few places online but am still looking.
quickcandles.com - I can get all the vases & floating candles for 20 centerpieces for $319, which included shipping!

No idea about the cost for the cylinder vases with the orchids - but I would try Michelle from Hidden Essence. I needed 18 low centerpieces, 5 BM bouquets, my bouquet, a whole lot of bouts and a few corsages - under 2k.
