Silly question about flowers

So i'm planning on getting my centerpieces from my RH. The sand castle has beautiful manzanita branches with candels etc etc...i really love them and they are decently priced.
So my question then is....what do i get from my florist? Other than the boucays (totally spelt that wrong) and any decorations for the ceremony.....i can't think of anything else.

Thanks!

Re: Silly question about flowers

Those are also my centerpieces!!! But I am adding two small take home arrangements with my florist bc my traditional Greek guests will be super mad if they don't get to take flowers home lol

Re: Silly question about flowers

I was actually gonna make a new thread about the SC Centerpieces! Do we need to add anything to them? How much are you getting them for? I think they are so awesome!

Re: Silly question about flowers

I am using the ones with the crystals, lanterns hanging and the all white orchid balls, (not the pink and green orchids) and dina ( or loula i cant remember which one of them) quoted me $750 for the entire room no matter how many tables I have (they wrote it in my contract). Although, I will have my florist make two very small low table arrangements for each side of each table so my guests can take some fresh flowers home with their favors. I will probably use something to look good with the orchid flower balls in the trees.

Re: Silly question about flowers

I didnt add it to my contract yet, cause i didnt know if i wanted them 100%, but now i do! I should call Dina and ask for more info. I vaguely remember her saying something about $50 each, but i'll see if i can get a bulk rate. I also don't even know how many tables i'm gonna have yet.

I like your idea of a small fresh flower centerpiece, thankfully i doubt my family would mind not taking flowers home.....so i dont think i'm gonna do that.

Re: Silly question about flowers

I'm using those centerpieces too! When I was looking through pictures of them on the website I liked the way a few flowers looked draped on them, so I might do that and some petals on the table around the candles too

Re: Silly question about flowers

i think i may get small mirrors and put tealight votives on them for either side of centerpiece. i thought it might give more of a sparkly, wintery glow
