Orchids question...

I've heard that orchids are much more expensive than the average flower and they'll greatly increase the price of bok's or cp's... Is this true? I know there are many types of orchids out there so is this an appropriate generalization? I'm going to be making florist appointments soon and want to be prepared when I ask about them

I'm having orchids....I dont know if they increase the price but my florist (Lovin Oven Floral Designs) didnt mention that. I had mentioned maybe having calla lilies and he said THOSE are expensive.

I LOVE those! are you using them for your bm bok's or cp's too? were you quoted?

nope. only my BOQ.

I am doing candle centerpieces. so i only need personals.
BMs are having all red roses and only me and FH (for his bout.) are using the orchids.

yes, the cymbidium orchids tend to be as expensive or even more than calla lillies. i love the way it looks though so i'm getting that with roses as my bok.

all flowers are cheap, florist just mark up the price ridiculously. go to the flowers distric & u can get a better idea of the wholesale cost of flowers & see how they compare 2 one another.

well in the wholesale flower district flowers are cheaper in general bc well its wholesale, that goes with any item whether its clothes or electronics, when you buy them wholesale the price is lower...BUT even in the flower district certain flowers will be more than others, less than a flower shop but you still notice the difference in price...For example i asked about peonies and they said at the flower district that they were $5 each, which were more than most of their flowers, so it still applies that certain flowers are more expensive than others..

idk if it depends on the season or not with orchids.

Some florists have an any flower=same price policy. I think Burtons is one of them. We are using Jack andRose and they have this policy also.
