Hey, I was just wondering how soon before the wedding do you book your florist?
Does anyone know how much dark pink roses for your bouquet go for? I'm just curious. I don't know which flowers and more or less expensive!
Any help would be great! ! !

Re: Flower Questions
not quite sure about the cost of that particular color rose, but roses are usually one of the more inexpensive flower choices so I can't imagine it would be that much.
As far as when to book, if you have your RH, church and photog booked, I would say the florist would be the next on the list. Not to say they don't book up fast, but those other vendors book up quicker. Also, I would have some concept of a color scheme for the wedding and a round about guest # before going to meet with florist so you're budget is more accurate (you'll need to know roughly how many tables you'll need CPs for and how many BM bouquets you will need).
We booked our original florist at about the year mark but due to issue we are no longer working with her. We booked our new florist last month.

we are booked with Designs By Rose - Howard Beach. Highly recommend! She nailed my my CP perfectly and her prices are extremely reasonable. She also did FBIL/FSIL's wedding this past May and the flowers were all beautiful and they had no problems at all.

Re: Flower Questions
Oh! Good to know. I actually heard of her. I live in queens so Howard Beach is right near me. I will definitely check her out! Only thing is my reception is far in long island! I wonder if that matters.

Re: Flower Questions
I don't think so. They might tack on a little extra for traveling fees but I'm sure they would still be able to do it.

Re: Flower Questions
Great, i will definitely give them a call, once I get the photographer done. lol.
You mentioned she was very reasonable which is good. What do you mean by reasonable? Do you know where her pricing starts I know flowers can have a large range in price. I was just trying to get some kind of idea! lol thanks again!

Re: Flower Questions
well she pretty much came in around $500 less than other florist quotes i received for the same exact thing.
