Price Quotes for Flowers - For girls with large weddings...
Original post by Bride in 2012
I'm meeting with my first florist this weekend and am trying to get a ball park figure so I can have an idea of what to expect price-wise. I know that prices differ depending on what type of centerpieces/flowers you get, etc. I'm not interested in orchids or calla lilies & would rather try to get in-season flowers. I feel that spending a fortune on flowers is crazy esp. since they are dead or thrown out by the next day. I obviously still want them to look nice but if this is somewhere we can cut costs, then I def. want to be able to take advantage of that.
Our minimum is 220 (in order to give you an idea of guest count)
Here's what I'm looking for:
1/2 High & 1/2 Low Centerpieces My Bouquet 2 MOH's Bouquets (want them to be slightly different from the BM's) 5 BM Bouquets 1 Jr. BM Bouquet (slightly smaller than the BM's) 2 FG baskets
And possible corsages for my grandmother, FH's grandmothers & MOG. My mom doesn't want one. Also boutineers for FOB, FOG & grandfather of groom.
Another maybe is a centerpiece for the place card table. Would maybe consider doing an assortment of candles instead of flowers for this table if the price is better.
Thanks for your help!

wow, that's definitely somethign they should have told her about. they told me that sometimes they put fake stephanotis if they get a bad batch but i told them that id rather them put nothing in the bouquet than fake flowers
i was about 85% happy with the final product from them. they forgot to deliver a couple of things which they went back to get and they put purple hydrangeas on my cake instead of burgundy but not the end of the world
my CPs were exactly as pictured above on the day of
