I am putting together a budget so we can decide which hall we can afford. We plan to have about 150 guests - 15 centerpieces. I will only have 3 bridesmaids and FI may only have a best man (his brother but he has 3 brothers so lets just say 3 best men).
I need florist pricing and names of florist.
My colors will be purple, lavender and silver. I want purple flowers (roses are fine) and some lillies. FI wants tall centerpieces with spiraled candles like he saw in a reception hall this weekend. It was very tall with roses, white lillies and greenery at the top (fairly wide diameter) and three candles in a spiral going down to the base which also had greenery and roses (no lillies). It was beautiful but looked very expensive!
I recall that one bride mentioned that she spent $1700 at Burtons for: 15 centerpieces (tall or short???) bridal bouquet 7 girls bouquets 11 boutineers 4 corsages roses for bubble bowls at cocktail hour rose petals for aisle rose petals for cake table rose petals for place card table tulle and bows for aisle two standing pieces for the altar and centerpieces for the bridal suite and placecard table
Thanks in advance for your help.

You should post this on the Vendor Board. When I was trying to come up with a budget, I posted the flowers I needed on the vendor board and I got a few estimates of what that would run me. The 3 vendors that responded to me were all in the same ballpark, so I was able to use the estimate for my budget.

So far the quotes I am getting are over $2,200!?!?!
I know that one bride spent $1700 at Burtons for: 15 centerpieces (don't know if tall or short???) bridal bouquet 7 girls bouquets 11 boutineers 4 corsages roses for bubble bowls at cocktail hour rose petals for aisle rose petals for cake table rose petals for place card table tulle and bows for aisle two standing pieces for the altar and centerpieces for the bridal suite and placecard table
This is almost exactly what I asked for in the quote too?!?!?!
I asked for a price for:
16 centerpieces (tall with candles) price quotes range from $85 each to $150 each?!?!?!
bridal bouquet (purple flowers with lillies - maybe cascading) 3 girls bouquets 4 boutineers 4 corsages roses for bubble bowls at cocktail hour purple rose petals for aisle purple rose petals for cake table purple rose petals for place card table purple tulle and bows for aisle 6 standing pieces for the aisle and centerpieces for the bridal suite and placecard table dais flowers for cake purple rose petals for flower girl
Am I asking too much for $1700 or LESS?

I used John from Flower Michele. His prices were very reasonable (my SIL works for a florist in PA and couldn't believe how inexpensive John was). The flowers were fresh, full and beautiful!

Looks like it's between Flower Michelle, Burtons, Jenn Blossom or LA Blossom.
Thanks ladies.

Call Maggie from M & F Florist in East Islip! She is amazing! Her prices are reasonable and people are still talking about my flowers. We had 4 shades of pink for the BM and the MH had 4 shades of pink with ivory to go with mine. The attached photos are from table cameras..so they don't do them justice! Tell her Stacey sent you! We LOVE her!!!
