Why are calla lillies so expensive????? I thought roses were going to cost an arm and leg, I did not realize how much more calla lillies where

Re: Flower vent

Nope they are expensive & hydrengas are. So are peonies. I think its because they are a seasonal flower but Calla Lillies i see all year round so i dont get it????

My sisters bridal bok for her wedding years ago were 20 calla lillies it cost a fortune! But it was beautiful!

Re: Flower vent

I can't believe hydrangeas are a lot....they grow on huge bushes on LI!

How much more are calla lilies? I like them but I won't be devastated if I don't have them in my flowers.

Re: Flower vent

I did hear roses for some reason are less, I think because so many people use them

Re: Flower vent

Roses are almost half the price of Calla's - its insane

Re: Flower vent

I am doing Roses, they are less expensive. Calli Lillies are really expensive. Sorry. I thought that Roses were expensive as well but thank god that they are NOT.

Re: Flower vent

You would think b/c so many people use roses they would be more.

Re: Flower vent

They're super expensive.... why not just use touches of them? That way maybe they'll stand out even more?

Re: Flower vent

I know they are super expensive!! I think roses are one of the cheapest flowers you can get....you wouldn't ever think that!

Re: Flower vent

I know!!! I always wanted all roses, and figured 'ugh' that will cost a fortune . . . .they're the LEAST expensive!!! I was very excited to hear that, but then wound up booking with Burton's, so if I decide to add any other flower, the price is the same . . . . Meanwhile, I'm still stuck on roses, but feel like I should add something else just to take advantage of that awesome policy!!!

I just love roses!!!

Re: Flower vent

its funny bc i think most of us thought roses would be expensive for weddings but they are less expensive than alot of flowers and good way to go to keep costs down

Re: Flower vent

I love the calla lilies too, but its so true how expensive they are!
I'm thinking of doing a mix of red roses and a few calla lilies throughout, I think that looks really great!

Re: Flower vent

Yeah..I might end up doing a mix. I just love the way the bok in my default picture looks

Re: Flower vent

That's why I'm using the mini's for my centerpeices...and the bouquets are roses. We get a credit per table for our florist for centerpeices, so we are able to use them..if we didnt have that credit tho...there's no way we'd be having them

Re: Flower vent

It depends on the Florist you are using. My florist gave me the option of using callas, roses and hydrangeas all for a low price. FM if you want details.
