Floral Costs

ktwagner21

Alright, I know this was posted somewhere where we posted what was spent on flowers and what it included.  I wasn't able to find it so could we start it again?  I don't have a set budget but I want to see what the average price tends to be.  For me I have 4 BM's 4GM's, 2 ushers, 2 sets of parents, 1 set of grandparents, possibly 20-25 tables, and a memorial boquet.  

TIA!!

I spent $1300. This included for my bouquet, 2 BM, 2GM, 3 mom corsogages, 2 dad flowers, 2 granparents, flowers for the cake, and flowers for 20 tables.  For the tables we had 6 high (bigger) center pieces, 6 medium height centerpieces (with flowers sumerged in water) and 7 small/low centerpieces.  They also made a backdrop for the ceremony for that price and provided all the vases etc.

It also included a memorial bouquet.  

I went with the flower guys.  They made me a little nervous a few times(Lynn kept calling me say "don't be nervous, but..." even though the things she called about were not a big deal), but the flowers turned out absolutely amazingly.  I was very very happy with how everything turned out.

I spent $550 using Deven Nelson.  Here's what I got:

*My bouquet-dutch blue hydrangeas, white roses, white callas, white cymbidium orchids

*4 BM Bouquets-white calla lilies with a blue rhinestone spray in the center of each flower, wrapped with a silver handle

*5 pin on corsages-white cymbidium orchids (2 moms, 2 grandmas, 1 reader)

*2 boutonnieres-white cymbidium orchids (they were supposed to be callas, but I wasn't bothered by the mix-up, since the orchids cost more) for our dads

Note: we did not do boutonnieres for the GM-they just had a pocket square. 

rental of 6-30" pilsner vases, 6-6.5" cylinder vases, 6-10" cylinder vases, and set up of all my centerpieces (which I did DIY).

Deven does not charge a deposit or delivery fee.

I spent about $900 for....

1 Bridal bouquet
5 BM bouquets
1 Jr. BM bouquet
7 crosages
16 bouts
2 memorial arrangements
I think we had like 15 of our centerpieces from her as well.
 Those included flowers, vases, and branches in the price.

Our flowers were mostly roses and hydrangeas.

This was from Lacey at Intuitive Blooms.  They were awesome.

I, as well, used Lacey from Intuitive Blooms, and for about $850, I had:

1 Bridal Bouquet (roses, lilies, hydrangea, and gerbera daiseies)
4 BM Bouquets (all-hydrangea)
10 bouts
5 corsages
15 centerpieces (two different varieties, same approximate flowers as bridal bouquet)
10 stems of dendrobium orchids (for use in a third DIY centerpiece, used on 5 of our 20 tables)

As a source of comparison, the other florist I met with (Christine's Floral Touch) quoted me $1300 for approximately the same thing (except hers included some ceremony arrangements that we ended up skipping).

I believe mine should be around 1200 for:
1 bridal bouquet
5 BM bouquets
11 bouts
4 corsages
19 centerpieces

I am using english roses, ranunculus, brain celosia, dahlias, a few peonies if available for the bouquets. Half my centerpieces will be a mix of flowers, and half will be a bunch of carnations squished together in a vase.
Oh and this is Simply Stated Elegance

Wow I'm really impressed with the flower costs, I thought I was save SO MUCH money by skipping flowers or doing some DIY w/ farmers market flowers, but I'm think it might be better to get them done instead.
