OMG Flowers

NDAshley

so...I've been to two florist so far and have gotten insane quotes (one was for $3200!!!)If you are married, or if you already have your floral stuff done, can you give me a ballpark of how much you paid and what that included.I need to know if this is truly what flowers cost, if I'm picking extravagent stuff or if these florists are overpriced.Thanks!

I paid $1080 for:My bouquet4 BM bouquets7 bouts3 corsages9 short centerpieces1 escort card table arrangementCake flowersSome of the flowers used would be considered "moderate to pricey". Alot has to do with what flowers you decide to use. Good luck! The costs are hard to hear most of the time

Flowers are pretty rediculous. I got quotes on exactly the same items from 1300-4000! How can different florists charge so much of a difference for the same things? I'm going to use wedding flowers for less in la mirada but we will pick them up instead of having them delivered. They were by far the cheapest florist.

I am using flower 4 less in la mirada as well and i think i am paying 730. We talked to Robert and he was nice and helpful listen to what we wanted and is even doing a mock up for the centerpieces.

I was totally in your boat and being quoted well into the $7k range. After re-evaluating on some things, and what was important to us, we should end up I think just around $2500/2800. We were hoping for $1500 when we first started out, but discovered that we had underestimated costs when we were making our budget. That being said, we got our $7k dream wedding at that price. For the record, Flower Allie is AWESOME! We were so discouraged until we met with her. PLEASE if you have not met with her give her a call, and if it is still that much I honestly feel that anywhere else will be more or not the quality you would want in anything over $1000 in florals. We have:2 Extra Large alterEvery other pew floralsPetals down the aisle12 centerpieces - 4 very elaborate, others very minimal10 cocktail tablesBouts and Bouquets for a bridal party of 16Mothers, Fathers, Ushers florals3 flower girls, 1 Ring bearerFlowers on the cakeToss bouquet Placecard TableHead TableGood Luck! Its tough out there I remember posting something similar to this when we first started as well. Its definantly more than WE expected, but it sounds like you have a pretty clear vision and I hope you find someone who can create your vision for you!

Hi Ladies! Flowers were one of my top priorities and we had flowers everywhere. 11 centerpieces, 4 bouquets, HUGE alter arch, cocktial tables, shepard's hooks down the aisle, petals, guestbook table and about 5 other random arrangements. We paid about $2700. I just LOVE flower allie. Email me if you would like pics. S

You should check out Visser's Florist in Anaheim. They've been there forever and have a huge shop. I am biased because my FI family owns Visser's, but they do really amazing work and I think they're pretty reasonably priced, especially in comparison to other OC florists. They are at least worth a shot if you'll be shopping around for the best prices.[url]www.vissersflorist.com[/url]Good luck!

I do agree with flower allie! I loved them, they were the 2nd cheapest florist on our list, but i may say that they were still $800 more than robert at flowers 4 less I think i worked with Jenni at flower allie and she got my style and ran with it! Loved her!

We have not had our wedding yet but we booked our florist and going into it I knew to expect 10-12% of budget to be flowers. They are really expensive, and it was right at 10%.
