I'm using a local florist. They were very willing to negotiate and we worked out the following:

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

for about $500



thats an AMAZING quote!! another poster said they used a local florist and it was around your price- I'm gonna look into my local florist too!!!
Thanks!



Definitely do it! We had met with Pedestals and for the exact same things they said the LOWEST they could do was $1000! I am not a flower person so I was like HE11 NO! We just got up and walked out

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??



If I were you, I'd email them from a different address and ask for the quote again. See what they say now. That is really strange!!!!

Re: How much for flowers?

It seems definitely more worthwhile to go with a local florist? Any local florist recommendations?

Re: How much for flowers?

I def saved in this area! I was soooo unwilling to spend a butt load on something that'll die.

Because I'm using Muffs instead of flowers for my girls, and candles for the CPs, all i need are:
1 bouquet for me
1 bouquet to toss
3 boutonnières
2 corsages

My local florist gave me an estimate of $120
