Flower Pricing:
[QUOTE]Hi Ladies, Need some advice I met with someone from Aberdeens Flowers this weekend and I signed a contract and gave her $175 deposit, this is what she is giving me for $865 bouquet throwaway bouquet 5 corsages 2 mom corsages 6 boutinnaires 1 flower girl petals 10 bows w/roses Also for centerpieces I am going to go with something basic which would be tall tube vases filled with water and submergeable lights, beads, I have to provide the vases and that would cost be 165 for 11 of those. She said they don't charge based on the type of flowers they just go off what package you want. I thought that was a pretty good deal since I am not all that in flowers I didn't want to spend more than $1000 I have read many posts about girls spending thousands of dollars and that is just not my thing. I just want to know if any one you have used aberdeens or what you girls think abou this deal?
I just got back from Aberdeen's. I met with Cindy. She was very helpful. I got approx the same quote minus a few adjustments. My problem is the centerpieces. They are 65.00 each, and I am providing the vases. But mine are pretty big so that's another 900. Out the door, including tax, gonna be about 2100. GULP. Our budget is 1500 so I'm not sure what to do. I didn't do a deposit yet but need to do it by tomorrow to reserve the date. But you know how that goes. I'm sure if I call next week I can get the same deal.
I'm torn now though. Although they're a little more pricey than the others I went to it seems you get more for your money. And you were right, it doesn't matter what flowers you go with. If I said I wanted all lillies today but then sign the contract and I decide to change to all orchids, same price. She had a lot of ideas and I also like the fact that you have someone assigned to you that helps you through the process. I also like that they ONLY do wedding flowers. I'm gonng read some reviews tonight after work. I also liked the fact that she said once I sign the contract I can go to their main location and they can make me up a centerpiece to see how I like it so that I have a good starting point and to make sure I'll be happy with it. That;s a plus.
Decisions, decisions!
