Ok, so I am meeting with my florist on Monday and I want to keep my flower budget to about 1500 dollars -
Here are my details.
I have 3 BMs, 1 flowergirl, a ring bearer and 3 GM.
150 people and we are getting married at the location.
Do you think this is possible??
What is your budget for flowers?

Re: Flower budget
It depends on your CP and if you want flowers for the ceremony decorations too...
My flowers are over $4000 but I wanted flowers everywhere!
I am sure that any florist can work with your budget though...you just might not be able to get exactly what you want...Have you thought of doing your own CPs? I see a bunch of girls on here who did them and they are gorgeous!!

Re: Flower budget
Yea, but I won't have the time or patience for that. I just have spent so much on my dress, my invites, my band...that I am trying to cut costs. I just dont want the florist to feel it is not worth her time for only 1500 bux...

TOTALLY do-able. My budgets $2K (pics are in my album from samples yesterday, my camera sux but they were GORGEOUS) and my bridal party is the same size as yours, though I'm only having 100 guests or so. A large part of the cost is manual labor - so having bouquets that dont require a lot of tweaking will help. And your ceremony's at the location, so no 'schlepping' from home to church to reception - that helps!!! Use only flowers that are in season, and you can have BEAUTIFUL flowers on your day. Your budget is not low and any decent florist will NOT make you feel unimportant; if you get that vibe turn on your heel and get out of there.

Re: Flower budget
You know what...its definetly do-able! I just looked over my contract and forgot all the extras I added on! I added flowers for the chairs on the aisle, the trellis, the stairway, & 125 breakaways around the bottom of the centerpieces for each couple to take home! Boy...I just realized I went insane!
So your budget is def. doable! Without all my extra crap that I don't really need...I would've been around 2k and thats nearly 20 cp and all BoKs.

I think that's possible, but depends who your florist is. Try Burton's - that's who I'm using and did a whole lot more than you are and it's costing under $2K. Good Luck!
