Florist Question

My FSIL is dating the son of a florist. We went to him for a price quote hoping for a discount. I have the quote but I have no idea if it's a good deal. Ladies, please help!

My bouquet -- $110
Bridesmaids -- $55 each
Junior Bridesmaid -- $30
Boutonnieres -- $60 for all

Centerpieces -- $135 each

I'm not a flower person, so any money seems like a lot to me. Is this a good price or should we shop around? TIA!

Re: Florist Question

mostly looks good (but i only went to 2 places)

BUT to me, that is a lot for centerpieces based on my quote- what are you doing for centerpieces?

Re: Florist Question

We got quotes from 5 different places and it was all the total price. Even if you have connections it's always worth it to look around just for a comparison...

Re: Florist Question

are you doing flower centerpieces? I wanna do branches, not sure how much they would charge for that.

Everywhere I went I was quoted $200-250 for branch CPs.

As for the original post, I think it would also depend on what kind of flowers you are getting whether that is a good quote or not!
