Flowers and Photos

Cost?

What are some prices people paid for flowers - figure about 10-15 CPs, 4 BM bouquets and 1 Bride bouquet, and 2 flower girls. Who knows how many guys need the flower thingie, but just a rough estimate... $1k, $1,500, $5k... that whole thing... also can you use some of the CPs to decorate your aisle - I'm getting married outside at my hall and thought about 4-6 stands that I'd put the CPs on and then bring them in during the CH. Just a thought to save some $$$

Photography... same thing. I'm also interested in raw video footage of the ceremony through first dance. Is that possible? What would that cost? Is it possible to get a decent photographer for about $2k? I know it depends on the package, but I only need an album for us - I can make one for my parent's and his I'm sure with the proofs. Not that professional, but maybe a little more personal? Plus then I can personalize the album (i.e. put more of the photos that have FH's son in the album for FH's parents as my parent's really wouldn't care about having those specific pics - that kind of thing). I'd like 3 8x10's (1 for us and 1 for our parents each). Otherwise, what else do you need???? What do you get for the higher priced Photography packages? I was thinking of going with a good photographer smaller package rather than big package average photographer.

I don't know about flowers cause I haven't done that yet, but about photo/video . . . .

Try silverfox (link) I just booked them and they are GREAT ! ! ! You can check out all their 'al a carte' prices online. They also have a few 'packages' but those can be changed around and you can add and subtract things and still get the discount price.

FM me if you have any questions . . . .

Looks great except the video... I just want a little something our kids and grandkids can watch... I don't need a 'movie'. My MOH had the whole cinematic thing and it sits on a shelf in her house. I just want raw video - maybe I can get a guest to bring a video camera? I can't see paying more that $1k for the kind of video I want. I really don't want the videographer interviewing guests on whether they think the marriage will last either

Re: Flowers and Photos

our photog was pretty good and they had different packages for different prices. we got a higher package, but you get a lot (FM for details). I have not gotten proofs yet though.

Flowers, I was a little over 1k for 1 bride bok, 2bm bok's, 9 cps, and she decorated my dais and memory table too. If you are getting married outside, you probably don't need too many decorations for the ceremony.
