I dont think its high, I think the amount of tables you are having and the candelabra bump it up. Although......i know florists who have quoted me and through some of the stuff you mentioned for free. But then again they were house vendors so I dont know

I think hydrangeas are expensive!!!!

oh really? see, i have no clue. i know that they will be very full centerpieces, she already did a sample for me. pedestals quoted me around the same price. i guess ill just book it so i dont have to go to anymore florists! i cant stand going, it is becoming very stressful!!

YES HYDRANGEAS ARE EXPENSIVO

i went to pedestals, james cress, and scarcellas and they were all pretty much in the 5k range. sounds so nuts though. my doc got me a quote from someone in brooklyn in the 3500 range but im nervous that because its so low the centerpieces will be less full. maybe im picking like big full centerpieces and thats why they are so pricey??

It sounds kinda precey. I have all mixed flowers on tall vases instead of candelabras, and I paid $150 per each. There are roses, hydrangeas, you know all mixed. I booked Signature Florist they do amazing job!!!! Yelena is a sweetheart and she really listened and payed attention to all that we discussed. I'm also happy that we got that personal attention, that you can't get at the big florists like Pedestals or JC, because they do a lot of weddings daily. But at Signature Florist they only take one wedding a day. (and I just looove that attention.. )
Give them a call I'm sure you'll be very happy and it will also save you a lot of money.
here is their number: (516) 679-6600
Good Luck!!!!!

Honestly for 20 candelabra centerpieces that sounds about right. I am using James Cress I absolutely love them and I am very comfortable with my decision. Are the CP 2 different heights? I am using 3 different heights.

I think it is a little pricey and I would shop around a bit more, I think you could do better.

I agree- I shopped around and am happy with the prices that I got.

hmmmmm....that seems a bit high. i have a bigger bridal party and about the same amount of tables as you and that just seems high. it does depend on your CPs though. mine are low so im not sure if that makes a difference. i would shop around to compare.

Re: Is this Florist Quote Okay but on the Pricey side or Nuts?

we were quoted 125 for high cps, 75 for BMs bo-ks and 125 for my bo-k we asked for roses, sunflowers, gerbers, mini cala.

I think it depends on flowers and where they're coming from.
