just roses...very simple. white or red depending on who..but thats all.



WOW!!! That sounds like ALOT for roses!! I was quoted 650-700 for personals from my first place and it was a mix of roses, callas and berrys. I was getting bridal BoK, 6 BM BoKs, 6 Bouts, 5 mother/grandmother corsages, 4 dad/grandfather bouts and a throw away BoK....



where was ur first place.




Malkmes Florist is Port Jeff. I dont think my second quote, from Verbena Designs, was even that much and it also included orchids and gerber daisys, ill know for sure later this week since shes sending me the quote in writing.

yah i just couldnt believe the prices... the first 850 was with 2 altar pieces but the place treated me like poopy doopy and basically they want to hold out for a bigger wedding.

You should try to also meet with Burtons and Flower Michelle to compare prices if you are on a budget.

I LIKE M&V LIMO - WE USE THEM ALOT FOR VINEYARD TRIPS AND TRIPS TO NYC. I HAVE A FRIEND WHO WORKS THERE SO WE ARE GETTING A GOOD PRICE. AND FYI - TRY NOT TO TELL THEM ITS FOR A WEDDING - THEY WILL ALWAYS INCREASE THE PRICE AS SOON AS THEY HEAR THE WORD WEDDING.

AS FOR FLOWERS I WENT TO JAMES CRESS WHICH IS EXPENSIVE 3800 FOR MIXED 14 CP HIGH/LOW ALL ROSES, 1 MOH, 7 BRIDESMAIDS, THE ARCHWAY AT THE VYC WERE WE ARE GETTING MARRIED, THE BOUTS FOR THE GUYS AND MOM'S AND GRANDMAS FLOWERS. THEY ALSO DO OTHER NICE TOUCHES THOUGE SUCH AS FLOWERS FOR THE HOUSE FOR YOUR 'GETTING READY PICS' AND FRESH CUT FLOWERS FOR THE FOOD TRAYS AT THE FACILITY. THEY SPENT OVER 2 HOURS DISCUSSING EVERYTHING AND TEACHING ME ALL ABOUT WEDDING FLOWERES.

FLOWERS BY BURTON - WHICH WAS A 15 MIN CONSULTATION INCLUDES ALL THE GIRLS, GUYS AND CP AND IS 2800. BIG DIFFERENCE. I HAVE 2 FRIENDS THAT USED THEM AND LOVED THEM I JUST DON'T KNOW IF I CAN GET PAST THE SERVICE.

Flowers=Pedestals, they are great and really know what they are doing. Their showroom is phenominal, I walked in and my CP was staring at me in my face, hahah, right then and there I said I have to book them. They will work with any budget
