How much should i expect to pay for calla lillies?

hi girls..

was reading up on posts about florists ( specifically Burtons, Jack & Rose, and Flowers by Michelle)

and was wondering if anyone could tell me what i should expect to be quoted for

my bo-k (white calla lillies)
2 moh bo-ks ( colored calla lillies)
4 bm bo-ks ( Colored calla lillies)
1 fh
8 gm
mom, fmil, 2 dads
2 speakers
flowers for the cake and place card table
and maybe 12 centerpieces - i like the ehite tall calla lillies - like 6 in the vase 'overflowing'.

If anyone could give me an idea in advance that would be great ----- FM me if you dont want to post prices,,, or experiences with those vendors

thanks in advance for the help
jennifer

From responses I got from previous posts, I think bouquets are a set price no matter what type of flowers. The centerpieces will vary though, and I believe calla lillies are more expensive than roses. I don't know exact prices though. What I did was I found a picture of centerpieces that I liked and FMed them to a couple of florists, and they sent me quotes back. Maybe try that.

I got quoted 4-8$ per stem. Lillies are more $ than roses and I believe they are imported from Holland? But I didn't care. I am using them in my CP's..
