wedding cp's

can anyone offer up some help in regards to the pricing of a reception cp? i'm really interested in the 'elevated' ones vs the smaller, lower ones...

but i'd like a cost point to keep in mind before i start talking to vendors... any quotes would be super helpful!

TIA!

I think it will also depend on what type of flowers you want! I've seen tall ones from 125 each all the way up to 300 each! Do you have any ideas or pictures of what flowers you like?

i'm a lily fanatic! so i was thinking of making my bridal bouquet white stargazer lilies with possibly some light pink roses for color accent, i wanted my bm's to have the pink stargazer lilies with maybe white roses, to offset my bouquet... and then for my cp's, i was thinking keeping it simple with tall, elegant calla lilies...

i just have no idea how much all of that would cost me. i'm having a june wedding, so i would assume all those flowers are in full bloom during that time, no?

I would think that they would be in season. Are you having a big wedding? I know price will also depend how many CPs you would need. I haven't done florist yet, so I'm sure some of the other girls will be much more helpful than me

Re: wedding cp's

i think it's an average size wedding... about 115?

so maybe like 10/11 tables....

is that a lot?

I was quoted $90 for the smaller CP's with the lemons and $115 for the submerged CP's - I may change the flowers around in the submerged to cut costs - would like all the CP's to be around $90.

Re: wedding cp's

I have a mid level CP that is really a low cp but has 3 pedestals of candles coming out of it that have ivy and orchids climbing up it. Pedestals gave me a price of 135 and told me that they charge up to 175 for that.
