Flowers

I went to Burtons Flowers yesterday and I got a price of $2025 for flowers which consisted of:

My bo-k
2 MOH Bo-k's
3 BM Bo-k's
5 corsages
1 JR BM Bo-k
1 FG Bo-k
and then boutourniere's for FH, 2 fathers, 2 grandfathers, and the 4 GM
18 high centerpieces with candelabras
and a throw away bouquet.

All of the flowers were going to be white and yellow roses with delphinium, and the centerpieces will have some other flowers in it too. They said that the flower choice didn't matter.

Is this a good price, because this is the first florist I have been to?

Re: Flowers

That sounds about right. The high centerpieces are what will drive up the price. We paid about $1000 for 7 bouquets, my bouquet, 10 bouteneers, 5 wrist corsages, and a pommander ball for the Jr. Bridesmaid, if that's any help for you. We had all roses.

Re: Flowers

Sounds pretty reasonable to me, especially given the size of your centerpieces....did that price include altar flowers as well? And pew bows?

She said it was 100 extra for 2 alter vases, but we don't know where we are getting maried yet.

If you don't know where you are getting married yet don't lock yourself into church flowers. My church and a few of my friends churches told them they HAD to get their church flowers thru the altar guild.
