I was quoted $2,290 for the following flowers, including delivery (4 locations) and tax. Please tell me if this is a decent price. I know NOTHING about what flowers should cost. FH and I think this is a decent quote, but my mom thinks it's outrageous. (FH and I are paying for the flowers.)
1 Bride's bouquet with roses, calla lilies, and stephanoitis 1 MOH bouquet with roses and blue delphinium 6 BM bouquets with roses and blue delphinium 1 calla lily groom's boutiniere 7 rose and blue delphinium bouts for GMs 2 rose bouts for fathers 2 pedestals for the church with roses, hydrangea, and blue delphinium 14 low CPs - 3 pillar candles surrounded by a wreath of roses, hydrangea, and blue delphinium
Thoughts on this price quote? It comes from a very highly recommended florist.
FWIW, the personals are costing about $950 and the church arrangements are costing $350. Each CP is costing me $85.

Re: Is this a decent price quote for flowers?
I am paying $95.00 for high Cp's and their low ones were much lower. I was quoted $60 to $70 on the low Cp's. I would definatly try to negotiate that lower.
As for the church flowers I think that is high also.
Get some other quotes and compare then you will really be able to tell if your getting a good deal.
Good luck.

Re: Is this a decent price quote for flowers?
My problem is that if I'm only going to save $150 by going somewhere else, it's not worth my time... I work 60-70 hours a week and lately have been working 6 or 7 days a week... so unless it's outrageous, I'll probably stick with this place (maybe see if they'll come down in price).
However... since tax and delivery are included and the price only seems to be $150-200 out of what others are paying, it may not be worth my time to shop around...

sounds right, but maybe you can ask him to throw in some extra, like some rose pedals on your runner or flowers on cake

I'm also constantly battling the time vs money thing... I'd accept the current price, but I'd also try to negotiate $5-10 less on the centerpieces over the phone.... there's nothing to lose on that. Even if they refuse to budge, it's a decent price....
It's much more important that you feel you trust the florist.... becuase then the flowers and hall decoration become stress-free.... and that's priceless!
