What are you paying? John and I are going to talk to some florists this weekend and I want to know what to expect. I would need 9 bridesmaids bouquets, 1 MOH bouquet, my bouquet, 13 boutineers (sp?) 4 corsages and 25 centerpieces....I know it depends a lot on the flowers used, but can anyone give me an idea? Thanks

Re: Ladies who have their florist price quotes
WHo are you going to meet with. For something like that, you could expect to pay $3500 to in excess of $6000 depending on what florist you use.
Comes to $3570. I would say my estimate is on the average (maybe a little lower side).

Re: Ladies who have their florist price quotes
Your BP is similar to mine. I got 4 MOH bo-k, 5 BM bo-k, 1 Jr. BM bo-k, 4 FG baskets, my bo-k, throwaway bo-k, 4 corsages, and about 12 bouts. Centerpieces - I got high stands - 2 dozen ivory roses w/5 peach asiatic lillies - 20 centerpeices
My package came to $2000
Edit to say my BP flowers will be peach,ivory, and white roses handtied bo-k. My bo-k will be white casablanca lillies, peach asiatic lillies and stephanotis.
Oh and a mini-bride bo-k (like mine but MUCH smaller)

Re: Ladies who have their florist price quotes
I'm already married--about a month and a half. I registered at LIweddings so long ago, I just forgot all my login info. My wedding was in New York City and so were my vendors, so I relied on other boards that focus mostly on NYC.
Anyway, my estimate represents an average, some will be lower, so higher. Go to Spitz & Peck and it's likely to be higher, go to Burton's and it's likely to be lower. I also base it on the floral quotes I have gotten for some of my clients. Of course I have gotten quotes for $1500 or less, others I have gotten in excess of $5000, it all depends on what you want. Some flowers are $20 to $30 a stem, it adds up.

Re: Ladies who have their florist price quotes
I believe that our flowers are a bit expensive (I think aroung $4000)... but Peter (my florist) does an amazing job!!
My personables are going to be about 3 feet long (not a cascade bouquet... but around the same idea) with crystals and delicate white flowers.
The girls' personables are going to be rather large, but since they are going to have a lot of roses and other rather pricey flowers... it ends up brings the cost up.
We are also going to have (6) 7' candelabras in the church... and a velvet runner with petals. For the reception we're going to have (12) 5' Moraccan (think that's how you spell it) lanterns with the flowers at the base of the laterns. Candles are going to be everywhere. He's also including the linens and will decorate the cocktail hour room as well.
I know it's pricey... but i love flowers and I love his ideas. If you've ever seen any of the flowers that Kleinfelds uses at shows... that is Peter's work... he's thier house florist... I would definitely recommend him if you absolutely love flowers!!!
