Just wondering... I dont want to go too carzy with flowers and I really dont want to spend more than $1k on them. Is anyone else in that ballpark? or am I being super cheap?

im hoping to keep it under 2000 at the most. personally i dont even want to spend 1000 on flowers, but for what i want i have a feeling its going to be closer to 2000.

Re: What is everyones flower budget?

my budget is 2k. nevertheless, you shouldn't feel cheap for trying to save some extra cash on flowers that die and get thrown away. you do what's within in your means and the rest is nobody else's business.

Re: What is everyones flower budget?

We have only looked at one place so far but I think I got a decent quote for:

-1 Bride Bok
-4 MOH/BM Boks
-1 mini bok for FG
-9 Bouts for FH, 3 GM, FOB, FOG, 2 RB, and Grandfather
-4 corsages for MOB, MOG, Stepmother, and grandmother
-2 Altar pieces for church
-10 pew bows
-15 low cp's
-toss bok
-rose petals on all tables, placecard table, cake table, fireplace mantles

All for $1500
Flowers will be roses and calla lillies
That is the most I would want to spend...

I originally went in saying 4000, but I ended up getting everything i want for 2800. I know it is a lot but I have 22 high centerpieces, so it gets pricey.

Re: What is everyones flower budget?

It was $2000-$2500 but we spent $1700.

Re: What is everyones flower budget?

I had budgeted $2000 for flowers, but I more than doubled it. I'm cool with spending almost $5000 because I love the florist and it includes everything from cake to church, but I think I may re-think my cp idea, since it includes 3 glass cubes on every table...I think that's what's getting me into trouble.

Re: What is everyones flower budget?

I was thinking btw 2-3k but my sister in law to be spent $6. I thought my budget was really low? I need a Chuppah also and I heard those can cost a lot but I have no idea. I need to start looking.

Re: What is everyones flower budget?

$2,000

Re: What is everyones flower budget?

I am thinking less than $2K.

I already got quoted $1800 from one place that I really liked.

I am getting

1 Bridal Bo-K with Crystals
2 MOH Bo-K with Crystals
4 Bridesmaids Bo-ks
10 bouts
1 MOB Cour
1 MOG Cour
12 Center + sea glass
6 arrangements for ceremony
petals for aisle
1 arrangement for welcome table
flowers for cake table
1 flower to fold into each napkin
Arrangements for Fireplace.

I think that is a good price, no?

I'm about $1500-$2000 max! I am not a flower person so would like to stay on the lower side of the budget

We are looking to spend $2000 max too...

Re: What is everyones flower budget?

I have too many freakin' tables so my budget is currently at 4k and I am so pissed. I might just do candles b/c I can't see paying that much for something that dies
