Re: flowers

$50 is cheap for bridesmaids bok. they are usually 70-85 i doubt you will be able to get them cheaper .

Re: flowers

I used to work at a florist. Roses are usually $5 each and hydrangeas can range from 4-7 depending on the time of year, size, and florist. The good thing about hydrangeas is that they take up a lot of room. Think about mixing another flower or two in. Also, there is a decent amount of labor charged for bks, so no, 50 isn't a lot. Mine are 85 each and 125 for the MOH and MOH

Re: flowers

Just be aware that hydrangeas are the fastest dying flower out of water. If you use them for fill in any bouquet (which I wouldn't recommend) make sure they're on the interior and not the exterior of the bouquet. In CP's they make for lovely fill and texture but they're in water so they're safe.

Re: flowers

thanks everyone! 50 is a great price after all, i wasn't sure as it is my first time doing this!!!!

since we are doing navy bridesmaid dresses i thought of white roses and blue hydrangeas. now im totally thinking of going in a different direction and doing some bright colors to make the blue POP!

decisions, decisions....

Re: flowers

Talk to Michelle at Hidden Essence - I don't remember exactly how much they were, but I did a mix of roses, hydrangeas and some other flowers and it was all VERY affordable.
