WOOOO! Entirely way too high!
We're spending 3k on a BP of 20 including us, extra's for the parents etc..., 17 CPs, church decorations, bathroom baskets...
Try Flowers by Brian, they gave me the best quote of $2375 for all that... We didnt book with them but they were amazing.

Oh my God I think we got screwed. I'm paying $8000
Me & my flowers 6 BMs 2 Moms 6 Groomsmen & CPs for 15 or so tables
Who are you using?? I would back out if I were you. Check out Stefan's florist. They are the one the best and nowhere near this.

That is way too much!!!! What type o flowers are you getting? Some florists do charge more for orchids, gardenias, tulips...etc. You need to shop around some more!

I thinks very expensive. Check out Flowers by Burton. They'll charge you one set price for ANY type of flowers [because we all know roses and calla lillys and such are expensive] I bet thet'll quote you half the price that that florist is giving you. FM me if u want info on them and what I was offered!

Re: Is this too much???? Florist quote I got!
I think thats a lot! Im having tulips, orchids, and gardenias and was quoted a little over $600. However, this is only for 1 bride bouquet 5 BM boquets 1 flower girl basket 5 noegays 8 boutineers and 80 single tulips. (was told extras are .60 a stem- I am prolly adding more) Im getting single ones cus Im just using bud vases that I already own during my reception. And 1 throwaway, which im getting rid of I think. try going to burtons! They told me I can bring in pics and they will copy them for me if i'd like. Pf course if you get more decoration type thigs than me, you will be paying more, but this is still a great price!

Re: Is this too much???? Florist quote I got!
I received 2 quotes so far...$5500 and $4100...This is alot of money and FH is freaking out... I have like both places so far...I'm going to keep looking...I keep reading great things about Flowers Michelle...affordable!?!
-1 brides bouquet -1 MOH -4 bridesmaids -1 groom -4 groomsmen -1 ringbearer -3 flowergirl baskets -2 flowers at church (one has 2 pedistals the other has 2 small baskets on floor) -1 included large memory candle with flower wreath -10 pew flowers (one included hydrangias the other offered me orchids) -One said they'd bring it all to the reception hall the other said you need to designate someone to move them. -15 center pieces (one offered high the other small) -CH placecard table (both offered huge arraingement) -all bathrooms (both) -1 offered orchids on passed trays during CH -Both offered floating flowers in 45 bowls on CH tables (one said orchids, roses or gerbers...the other said roses) -Both have a great rep...the one who offered more...high cp, moving the church flowers to recept., orchids on passed trays...etc. is the one who quoted the 4100...definately a better deal...still alot of $$$$$, right????? I mean its just flowers...
flowers are mostly hydrangias, orchids, few roses, other flowers reg stuff...lots of cool greenery...brides is all mini calla's...
What do you all think??? Any chance someone can give me all this for like 3K???
