Thoughts on this Estimate for Flowers

Re: Thoughts on this Estimate for Flowers

  • I think that's a very fair estimate.  It is less than I spent 3 years ago for a comparable amount of flowers.  The only thing I might do is cut down the BMs bouquets and put that towards your centerpieces as $85 for the BMs seems a little high.  However, I am not familiar with most of these flowers or what they look like and your centerpieces do seem to be very full already.
  • You may want to post on  your local board.  Floral prices vary widely by region and by season  In Boston area, that is a fair price for a September wedding.  Since our growing season is short, our flower prices are higher than average.
  • yes it is a very fair est, for the flowers you are wanting.
