Flowers/Photographers/Invitations/Limos

Hey All,
I'm about to start looking for florists (9 girls/11 guys in the bridal party for the flowers), photographers, a place for invitations, and a limo service (either a 22 passenger limo and a town car or one 14 person limo and an 8-10 person limo). Anyway, I was wondering if anyone wouldn't mind sharing some of the prices/ packages they are coming across. You don't need to share what you are actually paying but it it would really help me when I look around if you let me know what the high, low, and average prices each of these seem to be. Thanks so much for your help!!!

photo and video or just photo? photo/video is a huge range...could be 3K-7K

flowers, depending what you get (type of flowers and how much). the places i visited with on average had prices like:
bride bo-k 150'ish
BM bo-k 75'ish
bouts $6-10 each
corsages $10-25 each
CP's from $75-$135 (depending highs or lows)
ceremony pieces 125-170'ish

I can tell you that if you can book within the next 4 months you will get a better price than if you wait.

Do as much research as you can. Book your hall 1st and everything else should fall into place after that.


good luck

Photographer/video- packages vary widely...can be $2000 on up each, mininum.

Invites- I can only tell you what I did/know...I looked at invites at several stationery stores and then found the invite I had fallen in love with online for about $100 less. For 100 invites it was about $400 which included the proof; invites; inner, outer and RSVP envelopes personalized with my address; tissue paper; and RSVP cards.

Flowers- also vary a lot depending on which flowers you like...we paid a little over $2000 for 10 high CPs; 3 BM bo-ks; my bo-k; 4 corsages; 3 bouts; flowers for the card table; flowers for the gazebo archway and the ends of the rows of chairs... most florists throw rose petals in for free

Limos- We paid $875 for one limo each way from hotel to RH and back at night and a shuttle bus to take our guests to and from the hotel to RH.

HTH...good luck with your planning and we're all here to help you if you need it!!!

For Flowers - every place I went to was just about $3k. I was getting 14 centerpeices (half high, half low) 4 BM, 4 GM, 4 Corages, additional boutineeres, church, house pieces. Plus, this includes 3 different roses, orchids, hydrangas and cala lillies

For Limos - I got a GREAT deal for $1200 which was a brand new Bentley and a regular stretch limo for the bridal party. Everywhere else I went was around $1500-$2000

For Photographers - Like the other girls said its a range, it really depends on your package. For example, how many proofs, how many prints, size and quantity of albums. Most good packages I found were around $3500 and up just for photo. I booked mine for $3800. Video is usually another $1-2k
