What is..

Re: What is..

    My flowers are being gifted to me by my BFF who is an amazing florist.  I personally have ranked flowers as a high priority item for my wedding, so I would be willing to spare no expense if I were going to pay retail for them. I only have 60 guests and a MOH/Best Man wedding party, so not a HUGE floral need.  However, I want clusters of flowers to line the long banquet tables for the reception.  (we are serving food family style since its a small wedding and 3/4 of the guests will know each other) 

    I want nice flowers for my bamboo arch, candles and crystals for the tree that will be the backdrop of my ceremony and a thick layer of petals for the aisle instead of pew arrangements.  

    All that said, I would be willing to pay up to $3500 for flowers for my wedding. Since my BFF is doing them for me as a gift, I only have to pay the cost of her mateials.

    Less than $100....As beautiful as they are I'm highly allergic. Since I wanted a bouquet I purchased open & closed roses from dollar tree added a little bling, a lttle glitter, wrapped stems with ribbon and added a charm Viola...got my bouquets plus rose petals for church & reception tables.

    Flowers aren't high on our list of priorities....I'm thinking about $300 (bouq/boutt/corsages), since floral centerpieces are included with the package at our venue.

    Budget was 300 and ended up spending 240 since all other floral is included with venue.

    The reception venue is providing center pieces so I only have to decorate the church and provide flowers for the WP. I'm trying to keep it under $500
