Recommendations for a very affordable florist

KaylinG329

Hi ladies! I'm getting married in August in Boston, and I don't have a florist yet.  Our floral budget is very very tight... really only budgeted for personal flowers (i.e. bouquest, boutonniers, corsages,).  I'm thinking about DIY centerpeices if I can't find afforable florist... centerpeice no more than $50 - $75 per table possible?  Thanks!

What kind of centerpieces are you looking for?  I had vases of baby's breath and I believe it was $35 per table.

Have you looked into Whole Foods? They do reasonably priced arrangements and we used them for my shower.

I'm looking for low centerpieces in a bright pink... Or mix of bright and light pinks. Unfortunately I can't do white b/c it not allowed in my culture and my mom would kill me.

PP's suggestion of Whole Foods (or any supermarket, really) is a good one.  You should check there.

Braintree Flower Shop just outside of the city. Linda is awesome and her prices are out of this world.

This might come off as very biased, but my sister did my flowers for my wedding a year and a half ago, and since then she has started up her own business. I highly recommend her!! You can contact her on facebook (Lori Lu's flowers) or go to her website http://www.lori-lusflowers.com/.

Goodluck with the rest of your planning!

Have you considered a DOC to put together affordable DIY decor? DIY flowers can be done VERY inexpensively from Sam's Club etc.
