I finally am putting together my budgets and I need some help. Can anyone give me an idea of flower budgets? I am having 175 people, so i am thinking i need 15-17 centerpieces, 1 moh bouquet, 7 bridesmaids, 1 flower girl, 8 groomesmen, church and my bouquet. I love flowers but will stay with lilys, roses and maybe a few orchards. Can anybody tell me what they have set aside budget wise????
Also if anyone is using patken can you let me know the price of your package and what it includes?
Thank you so much! I am so slow with everything!

Re: FLOWERS
It depends a lot on what kinds of flowers you will use, high vs. low CPs, church decor...some are more expensive than others.
I guess a safe ballpark estimate would be $3k, but it can always go up or down. HTH

I would say for flowers $2,000 - $3,500 depending on what you decide to go with.

Mine was similar except I dont have church flowers, so it came out to 2661.00, which is a steal because be Bridal party is large.

Re: FLOWERS
Burtons prices are unbeatable. One price for any flower. So if you're on a tight budget and want somewhat exotic flowers, burtons is the way to go.

Re: FLOWERS
Thanks Girls! We are paying for anything over $2000 so i really want to try and get the best deal. I went to Burtons for dresses but I didn't really get noticed even though I made an appt so i may go ahead and try flowers by michele.
Thanks again I really appriciate it!

Re: FLOWERS
Def depends on the type of flowers you get and whether you get high or low centerpieces. I also had no idea but was told that it could be anywhere from 2-5K. We are having all high centerpieces with callas (one of the most expensive flowers) and other flowers - about 20 tables bc we are having 200 people. Our contract came to 4,100 dollars. A little more than we wanted to spend but we are excited about our choices.
