Flower question from a newbie...

traceyt07

Hello there ladies! 

Congratulations on all your upcoming weddings!

I'm actually posting looking for some help for a friend.  She's getting married in October and she has asked me to help her with the flowers.  We contacted a florist that she loves, and we got quotes for bouquets and boutonnieres.  She has asked me if the prices are reasonable and I just don't know!  We live in Brooklyn and when my DH and I got married we did it upstate and very cheaply.  A friend of mine made my bouquet with wildflowers that I ordered wholesale so I really don't know what's reasonable! 

If you could, please let me know if these prices are reasonable or if you think they're a little steep.  I really appreciate the help!

bride's bouquet:$150
bridesmaid's bouquets (3): $90/each
wrist corsages (3): $30/each
groom's boutonniere: $25
groomsmen's boutonniere's (3): $20/each
boutonnieres for father/grandfather (2): $20/each

Thank you so much for your advice... I appreciate the help and so does my friend!

I am paying 20, for the groom/ 10 for the groomsmen's bouts  and 25 for the corsages.  My bouquets are more expensive (200 for mine 100, for the BMs).

hmmm...when you think about the fact that the boutonniere is one or 2 blooms, 20 does seem like a bit much, doesn't it?  I guess it depends on the flower?

ETA:  Just realized:  100 is for the MOHs bouquets, I'm paying 75 for the other girls.

Those prices are low-moderate for the Manhattan/Brooklyn area.  I'll be paying about 25% more.
