Can you please post how much you will be spending on flowers? Please include size of wedding party and number of tables? Please also specify if the quote includes flowers for the ceremony. I have around 15-16 tables, 5 bridesmaids and 5 groomsmen. I'll also need flowers for the ceremony. So far, I've gotten quotes between 1,600 - $2,500. I'd like my budget to be around $2,000 max. I hope it's a realistic budget!

Re: How Much Are You Paying for Flowers?
Hey totally doable for your budget. I am spending $1600 at Flowers by Burton. I have 15 tables, 5BM, 5 Ushers, 2 flowergirls and flowers for the church. Though in fairness my centerpieces are not very big on flowers, more candles. Hope that helps!

Re: How Much Are You Paying for Flowers?
All of those quotes seem very reasonable but don't you have to accommodate for the time of the year and availability of the flowers you choose? Flowers that are out of season may have to be shipped from outside of the country or out of state (as my limited research taught me) thus adding to the cost of your flowers. Although a florist can get any flower you want at any time if you pay them enough. Another thing to remember is that some people like opulence while other like simplicity. $2000 worth of roses will NOT look like $2000 of daisies.

Re: How Much Are You Paying for Flowers?
We are not doing flowers at the church. It is very big and is already very pretty on it's own. Plus we are just having a short ceremony, so getting flowers didn't make sense for us. But here is what we're getting. My Bouq- Ivory roses with stephanosis & Calla lillies wrapped with silk 1 throw away bouq 5BM Bouq- 3 long stemmed roses with babies breath and wrapped with the extra clippings from the BM dresses 6 boutonniers- double ivory roses with some greenery 1 grooms boutonnier- Calla lilly 3 Corsages-2 with roses and one orchid 12 large centerpieces- Ivory and blush roses with gerber dasies, babies breath some greenery and mini calla lillies The dias table with one centerpiece and side flowers And the cake decorated
TOTAL-$950.00
