Flowers

Does anyone know the general cost of a wedding bouquet? Do you think it would be cheaper to get silk bouquets made? Make our own?

Re: Flowers

  • I'm using a grocery store florist, and for my bouquet, a MOH bouquet, and 3 bridesmaids' bouquets, using gerber daisies with some spray roses and fillers, plus 5 boutonniers, it's $428. They would charge $10 extra for each of the bouquet to provide the floral ribbon, but we're providing our own.

  • I'm actually making my own with true-touch flowers from hobby lobby and afloral. 
    I just got some hydrangeas from Hobby Lobby and they are SO realistic. Not sure what the final cost will be, but I'm going simple and not doing boutonniers. So thinking maybe a few hundred. 
  • I am using silk flowers, and I think they look amazing! I bought them at afloral.com. I made my bouquet and seven bridesmaid's bouquets for about 175.00 dollars.

  • I'm using a flower company in Ohio where I live and they have a DIY option where you come in 1-2 days before your wedding and with the help of one of their floral coaches they help you assemble your flowers on site, but they order them, and help guide you to what flowers would look best and fit in your budget during your initial consultation. They also have other options too, them assembling them, or them ordering the flowers and you taking home the flowers and assembling them without help.
