So I have my first flower consultation this Saturday and I have budgeted 1200. I figured I would need:
My bouquet 4 bridesmaid bouquets 2 corsages (for Moms) 7 boutonnieres 1 home floral arrangement 6-8 small centerpieces church (just tulle & ivy)
Can I do it? Any ideas? Pics?
Also...do I buy the ringbearer a boutonniere?
Thanks so much!

Re: Flower Budget
Tell them immediately how much you want to spend and ask them if they can give you everything you need /want . I have a larger bridal party and 6 more tables thrown in that estimate and my total is 1500 more.... GOOD LUCK!!!!
Where are you going??
PS If you go to Pedestals (I booked with them) ask to see Nadia she is fantastic!

Re: Flower Budget
I got about what you are getting but with 6 high CP and 6 low CP and got quoted at 1500, so you should be within your budget if you go to the right places.

Re: Flower Budget
You can probably do it -- try Flowers by Burtons -- My budget was super low and they were able to work with us!

Re: Flower Budget
Definitely go with Burton's....my budget was similar. No matter what kind of flowers you want- they are all the same price!

Im sorry, but I would have to disagree. I would tell you what you would like and have them price it out and go from there. At first I was telling florists what I wanted to spend and they actually gave me less then what Im actually getting. I too am going to pedestals though. Im working with Marcella. They are all wonderful there!

Re: Flower Budget
you can definitely do it! i am doing more flowers than you (i.e. more bo-k's church flowers, more corsages. but minus the centerpieces) and my florist bill is about $600

Re: Flower Budget
Thank you all so much! My biggest fear is that they'll hear 'Wedding' and hike everything up a million percent!

Re: Flower Budget
I think you will be fine with that budget. Let them know what your budget is when you walk in the door and let them pull ideas from you. Good Luck and have fun!

Re: Flower Budget
I just booked my flowers on Saturday. After going to about 10 different places, I was so discouraged. I knew what I wanted but the prices I weas getting were off the wall. I went to Burtons told them exactly what i needed; 1 Bridal Bouqet 5 bridesmaid 1 junior bridesmaid 5 grooms 1 ring bearer 3 church readers parents/grandparents flowers church flowers/pew bows and 14 2 foot lilly vases with 13 calla lillies and branches All white flowers. Burtons gave me a price of about 1500 cheaper then one place, and i was so thrilled with the price I booked them that day. I am not an impulsive person, but the price of $2600.00 I could not beat.
