flowers

Just wondering what everyone thinks will be their flower budget. Or if you already booked was it more then you thought. Amounts are always helpful. I'm nervous about the price of flowers...

Re: flowers

I thought it was going to be 5K b/c that is what my sister spent. But to save money I went with low centerpieces. I ended up getting the following for $3500...

20 low CPS
bride bouquet and toss away
7 bridesmaids bouquet
7 groomsman boutineres
2 nosegays for mom and FMIL
4 bouts for Dad, FFIL, and 2 grandfathers
3 grandmother corsages
flowers for sweetheart table
flower arrangement for card table
flower arrangement for bathroom

Re: flowers

I really am unsure as well..... i think flowers can range a lot so it could be very low if you want simple, or very high if you want elaborte expensive flowers. I'm thinking about $2000 but that could be way off.... i hope not by too much! It will vary based on # of tables and bridesmaids as well.

Re: flowers

I have no clue either.

I'm not gonna have flowers on the card table. I have the entire building to myself and will be putting pictures of family (and my doggy) on the tables in the hallways instead of flowers.

I'm also foregoing flowers for the sweatheart table since the bm boquets usually go there so there are my flowers.

I'm mixing high and low centerpieces to save some $ too. I'm hoping to keep it around $2500 or so.

After i book my photography that's next in line so i'll see how realistic that # is

Re: flowers

I budgeted 2k...and that is what I am spending. I went with a mix of low and high cps...that was my only tradeoff...But other then that I got everything I wanted
