less expensive than roses

I love the look of a table top clear square vase with roses only as the centerpiece and rose pedals scattered around it. but I was quoted $80 per centerpiece. Does anyone know what flowers would be inexpensive yet still look good in this type of centerpiece? does anyone have pics of your centerpieces for more ideas?

Call Flower Michele. They are SO fair and their flowers are AMAZING. 80something for 2 dozen roses is INSANE.

I am getting about the same thing, but I have roses and Peonies in it. Peonies are very expensive so my centerpiece is around that price. Roses alone should not cost that much.

You could also try with all my heart weddings, they offered me a great price (and I would tell you if I could only find my contract)

www.withallmyheartweddings.com

she was only $4 more than National for everything

they are actually the ones who quoted me $80

They quoted me $45, but I am using hydrangeas.
Sorry

also try LA Blossoms - her quote for a similiar CP was way lower than that and her work is outstanding!

I'm using Designs by Rose. We're having a bubble vase with 2 dozen roses and rose petals scattered around the table for a very good price.

Re: less expensive than roses

I agree $85 is kinda high for the simple arrangement your asking for, I would shop around and see if you could get a better price on that.

As for less expensive flowers, find out what flowers are in season for your wedding, those are usually less expensive since they are in abundance.
