1 Bride BoK - white roses, stephanotis and mini calla lillies 1 MOH BoK - roses, mini calla and delphinium 8 BM BoK - same as MOH, but slightly smaller 1 Jr. BM BoK - same as BM, but slightly smaller 2 Groom Bout - Mini Calla/Stephanotis 7 GM Bout - Mini Calla and Delphinium 5 Corsages - TBD 2 Dad Bouts - TBD 10 High CP - roses, delphinium and calla lillies 10 low CP - roses, delphinium and calla lillies
It would be $3,000 even, no tax, in cash.
ETA: Ok, I've been e-mailing the florist all morning, and I have two options - please help me decide! The first option is what I posted above, plus rose petals and votives on the reception tables and on the placecard table. The second option is everything above, but instead of half high and half low, I'd have 17 high CPs but I'd be using my RH's oval tables and not the round tables. That price would be $3250.
What should I do!?

Re: What do you think of this florist quote?
that actually sounds a little high, but it depends on which florist this quote is from - i got VERY different quotes for the exact same flowers from 3 diff florists

I've heard this place specifically does a really good job. But yes, be careful with wholesale florists.

Re: What do you think of this florist quote?
I think it is a great price, especially for all that you are getting.
I had a mix of 4 different cps (using all the same flowers - some high/some low/some all candles) and got soooo many compliments. Loved how it looked in the room!

Re: What do you think of this florist quote?
seems good to me...you have alot of cp's and even though its half high and low there are calla's in there and those are expensive...plus you have alot of bok's which also include calla's and other arrangements

Re: What do you think of this florist quote?
That sounds like a great price. I know calla lilies are not cheap. I love the look of mixing high and low centerpeices

Re: What do you think of this florist quote?
Thanks for all your help girls...
I decided to book this florist, and we're going to sign the contract as either option A for $3,000 or option B for $3250, so I have more time to consider whether I want all high or half high low.
So, without further adieu........my florist is..........
FLOWER MICHELE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Price sounds good... but I wouldn't get rid of your round tables... Round tables are very nice for your guests...

I did actually - for the orignial quote (including 20 high CPs) FM and Flower Barn came in identical to the dollar! Then, FM agreed to drop the price by $500 and Flower Barn only dropped $200

Re: What do you think of this florist quote?
This is very similar to what I got from my florist and it was about $2000. I went to Burton's...have you tried them yet? They charge by piece not by the type of flowers so you can get whatever flowers you want. Seems a lil high but not too bad.
