Could you please tell me what you are getting from Colonial and what the price is? My 2 Future SILs used them and rave about them. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks!

To Cley - About Colonial Florist

We are getting 2 pieces for the church, bouquets for all 6 brides maid, 6 corsages for moms and grandmas, flowers for all the men, dads, ushers, me, two junior brides maid and flower girl and 22 centerpieces ($100) each. The centerpieces are the big expense. Our total was approximately $3200. The cake, flowers for the caterer and a few other things were thrown in. Claudio is very up front and will only charge you for what you need even if last minute you have less tables than you originally planned for. Hope this helps- He was by far the best vendor we have dealt with!

WHAT KIND OF CENTERPIECES WITH WHAT KIND OF FLOWERS DID YOU GET FOR $100? WE HAVE ABOUT 22 TABLES ALSO, SO I KNOW THAT'S GOING TO BE THE EXPENSIVE PART, BUT WE'RE LOOKING FOR SIMPLE...

Are centerpieces will have about 3 dozen roses along with some very simple and somewhat different purple and perriwinkle flowers and the filler is pretty cool- no baby breaths or normal greens- everything he picked for us was simple/ yet very modern (if that makes sense). The first piece he made up for us (before you book him he makes an entire piece for you) was totally not our style. Anyway, he made up for us a centerpiece that when he we both loved. This was all before we booked him. In fact, we did this all about two months ago and just made the final arrangements on Sat. As for the specific flowers and their names, I have the contract at home but the best thing to do is go and meet with him. He is full of suggestions about what to use based on the time of year that your wedding is, the colors you want to use and your taster. I was extremely impressed (and I am rarely impressed with any vendors we have met with).
