How much for flowers?

What are people paying for flowers? What kind of flowers are you using? Who are you using?

I think I want medium-height CPs, and will provide own vases if it will be cheaper. I need 7 boks, 9 bouts and 3 corsages. No ceremony flowers. I am not into using exotics or out of season flowers.

Can anyone share their package, price, and florist for me so I have an idea? Thanks!!!!

Re: How much for flowers?

I paid 1k for just wedding party flowers. My bouquet, 6 BM bouquets, 10 boutennieres, 4 corsages, fresh rose petals for the tables and flowers for my cake.

All flowers in the bouquets are mostly roses. Boutennieres and corsages are all roses.

I'm using Flower Barn.

1 bridal bouquet - all roses
3 BM bouquets
3 corsages
4 bouts (incl groom's) - callas
8 centerpieces - tall orchids

for about $500

Re: How much for flowers?

My quote was 4200 dollars which is alot but we are getting all high centerpeices with callas, orchards, and all other unique flowers that aren't in season also extras in CH, entrance where placecards are etc on top of everyone's BQ bouts, ..... (we are def getting alot). We are getting help with paying for our flowers so we kind of went in there and went for it lol. We def spent way too much on something that will die but at least the room will look pretty

Re: How much for flowers?

I just realized I don't think Burtons said anything about the dads. I'm sure they're included? I have to call and ask tomorrow.

Re: How much for flowers?

I'm a bit frustrated because I keep hearing all these awesome quotes for burtons but they quoted me so high for less!

I asked for only 1 bm bok
bride bok
6 bouts
3 coursages
petals for fgs
18 cps
- I know they say it doesn't matter but none exotic or out of season...

and they quoted me over $2700... what's up with that??

Re: How much for flowers?

I went to a few big name florsist and got quoted mininum 2800 dollars ... and that's just waay out of our price range! This is what we are getting:
1 cascading bridal bk
6 cascasing BM bks
3 round bks for kids
2 FG baskets complete with flowers
15 boutineers
2 coursages
From a local florist I got quoted 600 for all that. I am going hopefully within the next week to price the CPs as well. Should be interresting... Keep your fingers crossed. :)
