Florist quote - reasonable?

I got quoted $2,780 for the following:

1 bride bo-k
1 moh bo-k
2 bm bo-ks
2 jr. bm pomanders
1 flower girl pomander
2 mom nosegays
2 grandma corsages
2 dad bouts
1 FH bout
3 GM bouts
6 pew pocket flower arrangements
1 altar arrangement
17 ivy, rose petal and lantern/candle low cps
cake flowers

The BMs will have assorted roses and hydrangea and berries (same for me), bouts will be orchids.

Is this reasonable??

Thanks!

It's sounds pretty reasonable to me.... especially considering orchids are involved....

If you want the price to come down a bit, though, consider not using candles for CPs. A very reliable florist told me it would be cheaper for me to do floral cp's (depending on size) than candles.

Just something to consider

im paying about 3k for my florist but my BP is 18 people... And they are doing flowers on every other pew in the church [which means theyre decorating like 20 pews!]

im not sure exactly what im getting off the top of my head but i know its more than that.. I think you should either n egotiate the price or check out some more florists!

It sounds ok to me. I have more and I am paying 2400. But I only have roses. I think orchids are more. If thats the case then it sounds good to me. Shop around and compare prices. Your flowers sound beautiful!!

The orchids are not really affecting the price too much $8.50 each for the bouts. It's the centerpieces, which do not even have any flowers, at $75 each that really added up!

What's a pomander and nosegay? I've never heard of that before.

It sounds right about in the same ball park as what I was quoted for about the same amount.

a pomander is a round flower ball like this...


A nosegay is a very small bouquet.

that is very reasonable compared to what I've seen and what I am paying.
If you want to stretch it furhter, maybe negotiate for complimentary flowers in the ladies room as well.

It sounds a bit high to me. Price around.

I think it is reasonable. I am using Burtons, and I have found them to be one of the most reasonable out there.
