Tall Centrepieces Help!

Hi everyone,

I need florist help!
I thought I wanted low cp's since the ceilings at my reception place are not cathedral but I recently went to a showcase there and they had tables shown with tall arrangments. I loved them and absolutely have to have tall Cp's now! I need to keep each one under 200 bucks(pref 150$) since I might have up to 18 tables...I hope not but its possible
! Anyway,I was wondering if anyone knows of any good florists that aren't too over the top price wise for a tall cp. I don't have to have anything too exotic just something beautiful and tall! :) If you had tall cp's at your wedding that were reasonable please FM me!!!

Thanks all!

I think I am paying $100 per tall CP from Burton's, but maybe it is $150. Either way it is in your budget.

Re: Tall Centrepieces Help!

Pedestals is AWESOME and will work with your budget. My high are more because I didn't want any green 'fillers' at all, but they will work with you. Also, have you considered alternating high with low? That's what I'm doing, not so much for price but because I thought it would break it up as I too am having about 20 or more tables.

Re: Tall Centerpieces Help!

Thanks! I have thought about doing that...it is a great idea I'm glad you mentioned it because I thought about it today but never mentioned it to my parents or FH. I am definitely going to consult with the florist about it...that could break up the tables like you said and will neutralize the cost.

Re: Tall Centrepieces Help!

We just went to see our CP tonight at Flowers by Brian; originally I was going to alternate high and lows but the price difference wasn't that much; maybe $150 total.

We wound up with the tall centerpiece with the gold spiral that has 3 votives on it. The spiral is decorated with green ivy and the base has rose petals around it.

The CP consists of burguny hydranges, red roses, circus roses, light brown roses, gold leaves and some green filler.

I'd check them out; I found them to be quite reasonable and I have had no issues with their customer service or anything I wanted.
