damn this is higher than i want to spend..can i get flowers for 1k..or is that impossible???

maybe you can do more candles and less flowers, that'll help keep you in the 1k budget

You should check out www.proflowers.com I had a local florist. I had my wedding in Mackinac Island Mi so my florist won't work for you. I LOVE ProFlowers and they have some awsome wedding flower packages and choices. Hope that helps

I would say tell them it can go up to $5K so that way when it's less, they think you're getting a good deal!

i am using La Blossom and Laurie is awesome. I love working with her and I am sure she will come up with someting great for my centerpieces.

But I am paying about $1,800 to 2,000- depends on what type of centerpieces (but they will be low)

and i am getting my bok and a throw away one
kissing ball for the flower girl
5 BM's bok
10 bouts
4 corsages
15-18 table centerpieces (we have amin of 175 so we are only hoping for 175 haha)


no church arrangements since it is xmas time and the church is decorated.

That's going to be very hard. You can tell your florist your budget is $1k and see what they can do. What kind of flowers did you want?

oh damn! that ***** then...i just don't want to spend thousands on something thats going to die! i think i want roses..but not sure

Wow that is a good price, where is that vendor located? As of right now I have 3 BM's I don't know how many FH wants on his side though. I am looking to have around 130 people so I don't know how many CP's that would be. I also want high ones I think. Maybe I should check out your vendor though!

orchids and callas will be more expensive in most places. Roses are less expensive, so if you like them, that helps

I think a mix of high and low CP makes the tall ones stand out more and that would lessen the price and if you go all low that will help your budget too.

If you have a Sunday wedding you might not need flowers for the church since they should have them for the masses already - - that's what happened with my wedding and they happened to be pink which went well. But I didn't care if there were flowers or not because they look a little odd to me standing in front of the open altars where they are places in my church. and the ones I have seen at masses remind me of funeral pieces! so I can do without.

For the pews, I bought 20 ready made bows at Michael's with a coupon, so they were $20 and then bought some sprays for another $10, cut them into smaller bits, mixed different colors, like ivory, yellow and peach and shoved this mini arrangement into the bow and tied it with a bread twist tie!. Everyone said they looked nice and that can save $$$ for you.

thanks so much!!! that def helps...i think im going to skip out on the church flowers and follow your suggestion!

as for flowers i know roses are cheaper but id really like orchids if i could swing it..so im going to try for that and if not ill settle for less i guess haha but thanks for your help!

I booked with Burton. They don't charge more for different types of flowers so you can get calla lilies or roses and it will be the same.
