Budget florist recommendations?

julialynnjones

Does anyone have a list of the best budget florists in Cincinnati?  I'll need 1 bridal bouquet, 5 bridesmaid bouquets, 11 corsages, 5 wrist corsages, and something for the flowergirl.  I really want to stay under $750 (if possible).

TIA!

Two Little Buds.  I am getting:

1 bridal bouquet
6 bridesmaid bouquets
10 boutennieres
4 wrist corsages
15 centerpieces ( 1 stem of floating gladiola in a tall vase with floating candles- although I am debating alterating with some larger centerpieces)

All for under $1200, and that includes delivery, set up, tax, and the $200 glass rental fee.  They do beautiful work, and are so sweet!

I highly recommend the Secret Garden.  It is in KY and I don't think that they deliver to OH, but if you could possibly have someone pick them up, it is worth it.  I have used them in the past (2nd marriage) and they did a great job before so I had to use them again. 

I am getting 1 bridal bouquet, 5 bridesmaids, 9 boutennieres, 5 coursages, 10 orchid stems for cake, and the flowers(4 hydraenga stems each) for 20 centerpieces (I am providing the vases b/c I already bought them from another knottie), plus a $25 delivery fee and tax for $847. 

If you took away the centerpieces it is only about $470

I was also going to get flowers for the flower girl and changed my mind but they did quote me $21 for those flowers.

HTH.

I would also highly recommend Two Little Buds. Very easy to work with and they can seriously work with any budget.

Try Blossom's Florist in Reading. She quoted me $1350 for a huge bridal party plus 16 centerpieces- good sizes and she lets go to the flower warehouse with her to see what you like and pick some things out! her name is Carol.

I am a huge fan of Susan Foy The Wedding Designer.  She has been so sweet, flexible, and a huge pleasure to talk to.  Give her your colors and budget and ask her how far you can get with it.  That's what we did (and her quote happened to come out lower than The Two Buds for us).

Many of the Kroger stores have great designers! and the prices are really good. They will work with your budget and suggest some less expensive flowers that still make for great bouquets. Where is your ceremony?

Secret garden- her quotes were the cheapest of anyones I got, and I looked into a lot of the budget florists above.

I'm using Bruce from Flowerscapes. He's providing my bouquet, 4  bridesmaids, 4 groomsmen, 5 grandparents and 6 parent corsages. He's also doing all 15 centerpieces and cupcake decor, I'm providing the mason jars. He's doing all the set up and design work by himself all for $1000. He's super nice and willing to work with any budget. I'm having my rustic owl themed wedding next weekend, i'll post pictures soon.

Here's his contact info.
