Flower Pricing Question

Flowers are next on my list. I am just curious as to what others are paying. I really don't want to spend a fortune, but I do want my flowers to be beautiful. Here is what I am going to need:
my bo-k
6 bm bo'ks
2 mom bo'k's
6 corsages
11 boutineres
175-200 guests (not sure of how many CPs)

I only want to spend $2000-$2500, any I crazy? I hope not

I want to use really fall colors, not particular what flowers, i am open to suggestion from the florist. Any ideas what price I might be looking at??

Re: Flower Pricing Question

I am in that price range also. Actually on the lower end. I think the main factor in flower pricing are the CP's. Some high CP's can be $150 - $200 each. Stick with low CP's and you will be in that range.

Re: Flower Pricing Question

Hey MaryBeth.....I think that budget is pretty do-able, especially if you are open to CP's and the types of flowers.

Good Luck!

Re: Flower Pricing Question

Yes, you can definitely do it in that price range! I'm paying around $3K, and have a few more BMs and GM's than you, plus I'm having all calas which are pricey. Good luck!

Re: Flower Pricing Question

I can give you my price for all bok's, all bouts for guys and corsages was $590 ( tax included) , that was 5 bm's bok's and 3 mini bok's for fg's.

So add the cp's and your at a very good budget!
