florist

I was trying to figure out a budget for flowers. It is kinda hard for me to meet with vendors cause the wedding is in Hawaii. I was wondering if anyone knew a range that I could expect for 10 bouquets (including mine) and about 10 centerpieces. I was not going to go nuts with the centerpieces. FMIL just got some ridiculous quote for how much a wedding was with 12 bouquets and I just was not expecting it. Please HELP I am about to freak!!!!!!!!

Re: florist

yeah!!! I am seeing that in old posts people were able to stay under 3,000 and that with 20 CPs, we will only need 10 and thats the max. We will save money because its a small wedding! I just don't know what to do

i'm not sure what the prices are in hawaii, but i guess you can expect to pay around $55-$85 per centerpiece around here (and these are for low ones), about $100-$150 for bridal bouquet, and $65-$75 on bridesmaid bouquets. i think $1500 is totally doable. i'm doing 15 alternating high and low centerpieces, a bridal bouquet, and 5 bridesmaid bouquets, 4 corsages for $2000. good luck!

Re: florist

i am going to ASSUME that flowers are cheaper in Hawaii bc they are probably always in season

but you can definitely get flowers for under $2K

I was paying less than $2K for church flowers, CPs and personal flowers for BP etc.

but then i went a little crazy who i dont know how much they are now LOL

Re: florist

i haven't gone to a florist yet.. and im not doing floral CPs cause i cant afford it.. my floral budget is limited to Bo-Ks and bout's for the guys(so i'm not too much help..lol).. but from the research i've done it seems my budget may be possible and i was hoping to stay under or around 800$ for that! so i'm sure you can stick to your budget. It all depends on what kind of flowers, high or low..etc. Shop around and i'm sure you'll be able to do it!!! :)

Re: florist

I too think you can get it for under $2,000 dependent on the type of flowers, If you stay simple you can definetly do it
