Re: IS this a fair price for flowers?
depends on what kind of flowers how many ect.... get a second or third opinion. I paid about that for a lot more. 15 center pieces and flower girl baskets and bridesmaids bouquet. Just check around. One place wanted to charge me for three delivery stops!! You'll feel better if you shop around a bit even if you feel better with your first choice.

Re: IS this a fair price for flowers?
sounds a little high to me, but it also depends on the kind of flowers, but you are having hardly any centerpeices and no bridesmaids bo-ks so i guess you should get another opinon.

Re: IS this a fair price for flowers?
It seems a little high for all of that.

Re: IS this a fair price for flowers?
how much will the centerpieces cost (each)? How big is your bo-k? Exotic flowers or no? In season flowers or no?
If you are paying over $50 per centerpiece, getting a big bo-k with exotic or out of season flowers, the overall price sounds OK. IF not, price around. Ask your hall who is their house florist (if you haven't seen them) and tell them your budget is $1150. See what they can offer you.
I think the price for your ceremony flower (other than bo-k) is a good price.

Re: IS this a fair price for flowers?
I'm paying about that much for:
15 cp's (similar to what you described) 5 bm bo-ks my bo-k 6 or 7 corsages at least 6 boutineers (sp?)
all from Burtons. I think your price is a little high since its for fewer arrangements.

Re: IS this a fair price for flowers?
Don't feel bad I was quoted at 13,000 for flowers to have a wedding at Oheka Castle. I will have 20 tables , but only two bridesmaid bouquets ....five boutinerres...and three corsages, deocrated staircaise, flower centerpiece at entrance way, centerpiece at place card table, and 20 cocktail hour settings

Re: IS this a fair price for flowers?
I think the price is OK - I am having about that for flowers and cp's - My price was a bit more and I am with Jack and Rose - Who was the florist??
