Re: Is this a good florist quote???

I haven't been to any flower appointments, but it seems a little high without centerpieces? kind of high for just rose petals on the tables.

may be I'm just clueless though

How does it work when you book through the wholesale store?? Who do you book with?? Do you have a florist that you work directly with???

I think it's high...that's basically what I'm paying with 14 centerpeices and dais included. Everything I chose was roses in shades of dark red except for my bouquet, which is ivory roses with stephanotis and freesia.

Maybe its the flowers you chose that raises the price?

I dont think so. I am having all roses. The only thing that will be added to my BoK that is different from the BM's and MOH is the stephanotis (spelling).

I think its a good quote, its about what I paid for my personals alone and your getting your church bows etc. I would say its about average but definitly not high

eta, I dont think its fair their charging $30 bucks per table for rosepetals - if you book them have them take that out of the contract and make it included, put up to 25 tables if you have to.

Re: Is this a good florist quote???

I worked with Anna from National Floral

I dont have my contract in front of me so I might forget something but I got

All parents, grandparents, and groomsmens bouts
All BM Bo-k 2 dozen
my Bo-k 4 dozen
rose petals
cake decorated
decked out gazebo
15 low centerpieces
throw away bo-k
for around $1,500

I have nothingbut good things to say about them. The ONLY thing that went wrong is someone orderedmy bo-k the wrong color but it was fixed before the wedding.

Don't let the name fool you...they operate just like a regular florist. Amy (NYBride) and I are both using them, and you can see Amy's flowers from her wedding this past week upon the boards.

Ask to speak with Anna - she's the designer.

Mention LIW and they'll give you 10% off

They OPERATE exactly like a regular florist, they just happen to be a wholesaler of roses and distribute to the other florists on the island.

It's a lot of roses, but that's part of our theme because my dress has roses on it.

The total of the following is $1800 with tax included:

1 Bride BOK (roses, stephanotis, freesia)
1 THROWAWAY BOK (roses)
1 MOH BOK(roses)
3 BM BOKS (roses)
1 FLOWER GIRL BASKET WITH ROSES
1 GROOM BOUTONNIERE (rose and stephanotis)
3 GROOMSMEN BOUTONNIERES (roses)
2 RING BEARER BOUTONNIERES (stephanotis)
2 MOTHERS CORSAGES (roses)
2 FATHERS BOUTONNIERES (roses)
2 GODMOTHER CORSAGES (roses)
2 GODFATHER BOUTONNIERES (roses)
2 BASKETS AT CHURCH (roses, stargazers, freesia)
1 BLESSED MOTHER BASKET (roses)
12 PEW BOWS WITH FLOWERS
14 CPS (mix of red roses in silver footed bowl vase)
1 DAIS (ROSES, CALLA LILLIES)
20 DOZEN ROSES FOR CAKE AND FOR EACH PLACE SETTING

All I have to add to this are silver candlesticks with dripless white candles, 2 per table. That would be an extra $6-$7 a table...
