i have to consider the whole half high half low thing... i jus have no idea what that looks like, u kno?

but i heard it adds nice dimension to the room, like makes ur eyes notice the levels when u walk in.

thanks again!

thats how i feel!!!!!!!!

cuz i really wanted all high CPs with calla lilies n hydrangeas n the branch stuff n i have so many BMs so thts alotta bok's, i dunno...

the place im goin to next week i have 25% off for them, and our MAX budget for flowers is $3000....so that means we can really be quoted $4000 max, cuz 25% off will be 3K....

im hoping whta i want would never come out to more than $4000 LOL

Re: florists again...

I don't want to spend more than $3000(ok really $2500, $3000 is pushing it!). But we want feathers in our centerpieces. I am hoping if I can get the feathers at wholesale if they would work out something better for me.

Re: florists again...

I am spending $3k for flowers, I did half high, half low, its based on 14 tables plus all my church flowers and bridal party flowers. If I did all high, I probably would have been at $3700

the $175 looks like its going to be mostly orchids and hydrangeas. the $150 we are not sure about yet.

our florist is Pedestals. I worked with Vito who was super nice.

Re: florists again...

oo orchids n hydrangeas, that is comparable in price to callas n hydrangeas...good to know!

the florist im meeting with next week has a sick reputation, and id really like to use them, so if their prices are similar to that of ur florist, ill be in good shape!

i had no idea flowers cost so much!!

FMIL is paying for limos, florist, DJ, photo/video, and anything extra stuff like invitations, favors, etc, and our budget from her was $15,000. We already used 9 of it on DJ and photo/video, and limos will be about 1500....so we really gotta keep flowers at 3.

its so nerve wracking all of this budget stuff!

Check out Burton's Flowers...they don't charge extra for particular flowers. They were great to work with. I know I raved about them on some other thread.
