Floral costs

monbon11

Hi all,

I am meeting with a florist this weekend and wanted some advice on what to expect.  We decided to have non-floral centerpieces, so our only floral elements will be what the florist is calilng "personal flowers":
1 bridal bouquet
2 bridesmaids bouquets
7 boutonnieres (for groom, groom's men and dads)
4 corsages (for moms)

Can anyone tell me what a reasonable price is for bouquets, etc?  Any insight is appreciated!

I got quotes from three florists, but can only help with bridal bouquet and groom boutonniere.  My bridal bouquet quotes were $115, $145, and $160.  The bouts were $8, $12, and $15.
It is all going to depend on the type of flowers you want and if they are in-season.  Just make sure to check with any florists if they have minimums that you need to meet.

My bouquet was $140, BM bouquets were $70, bouts were $15, and corsages were $20.

 It will depend hugely on your flowers. Do you know what you want?  Simpler is usually cheaper.

I am more focused on colors than on specific flowers, so I think I will be able to have the bouquets made on a budget, I just wanted to know what the going rate is.

I had non flower centerpieces and they were still over $100 each, so just make sure you discuss those options as well.

I think my bouquet is $160 or $180 and the bridesmaids' bouquets are $80 apiece. Not sure about boutounierres et al. I went with seasonal flowers in a specific color scheme, but they're fairly complex arrangements, so I think the pricing is probably on the high-ish side.
