If you want to skip the flowers for the dais, you can always have your bo-k and the BM's bo-k's put on your dais in a nice arrangement. I think I will do that for mine. I'm also going to have votives on the table and the flowers will be interspersed.

I don't want to skimp on flowers I just want to make sure I'm getting fair quotes and not getting taken so I have no idea what is reasonable for this?

I met with one florist today that I really liked - but I have about 5 more to see and I need to know what is a fair cost

Hi Christine!

Just a note, callas are very expensive so I would definitely say at least $1000 - stick with a reputable florist b/c friends used a certain vendor and the callas were half dead upon arrival.

The reason I'm asking is I have about 5 more to see but I am being quoted between 2800-4200

I'd tell you to call my florist but I know for callas he'd be right in that range. I'm paying a fortune for them and I'm not even doing all callas.

If you want to call him FM me - Christine1221 used him also. I absolutely swear by him and she was very happy with him also.

Let me know. If not, GOOD LUCK

thank you tammy!

I thought a 1000 seemed low but I was thinking more between 2-3 for flowers seemed right - but because I didn't have anyone to ask I really wasn't sure if that was right

i would say you go even go down to about about 2000 or so - did you try jack and rose yet? he was the most reasonable for us!
