Ill be in the Milwaukee area, or grafton. What's everyone paying for flowers. What kind are you having. How many!?

my budgetor is telling me 1600 for EVERYTHING. (all flowers) is that low, are you guys DIYing any of it.

A family friend is doing ours at cost so I'm not a ton of help but I actually think that may be on the lower end, I only did a little research into flowers but I was under the impression that 1500-2000 was expected. We're only doing bouquets, bouts and corsages.

For 1 bridal bouquet, 5 BM bouquets, 11 bouts, 5 corsages, 2 alterpieces, and 15 centerpieces (varying heights) -- it's 1900 with delivery fee. We're having orchids, roses, hydrangeas, twigs, kale.

I anticipate spending well under $100 for everything. I will be buying supplies to make fake boutainnaires for our men. I don't plan on corsages for anyone. My bridesmaids and I will have bouquets that I will tape the stems & wrap with ribbon that morning from the farmer's market ($6 per bouquet and there are 7 of us). I find flowers to be wasted money, so I didn't want to do much.

I actually just met with a florist this week. He works out of his place, so overhead isn't an issue and I found it to be much cheaper. He's out of Lake Geneva, and I'm getting married in Milwaukee. For my bouquet, 6 BM bouquets, 6 corsages, 11 boutinierres, toos bouquet, and arch decorated with flowers: $700. And his ideas were awesome!! Just thought I'd share because I wasn't really excited about flowers until I met with him about them and got a quote!!

If you're interested, his business is Crazy for You flowers, I believe you can just google it and there's a website.

Thanks Kerkma, I'm gonna check him out

I was expecting it to be a crazy High amount, I attended wedding a few years back and remember them saying they spent thousands on flowers...whew. Lol Kerkma what kind of centerpieces are you going with?

I plan to look into him as well- thanks for sharing.

I dont plan to spend any more than $1000 on flowers...

Our quote was just under $600 and we are using orchids, which are usually on the pricier end. That price includes my cascading bouquet, 5 BM bouquets, 12 boutinierres, 2 corsages and one center piece for the church and it will be moved to the head table at the reception. The rest of the center pieces are branch themed so we don't need flowers there. We are using Flowers by Faye. She also works out of her home. We got two other quotes for the exact same order and they came in over double! I highly recommend getting quotes from at least two different vendors.

I used Jess Fleur Fun they were FAR under budget from the florists I priced and the quality was so great. Their vendor review is in my "For Sale" link or on the WI knottie webpage

I spent under around $700 for three bouquets, 7 bouts, 4 coursages, 2 large alter arrangements, 8 pew bows, and 12 centerpieces. My florist was Four Sisters Floral in the Bay View neighborhood of Milwaukee.

You guys are awesome for sharing. Thanks a ton!

Also check Laurel with Bloom Floral, she does beautiful work and gave me a very reasonable quote. I am going the DIY route for reception and Sams club roses with tons of candles

Another thing to consider...use live blooming plants. We got a bunch in place of some arrangements to give pops of color in the room at a lesser cost (like under $20 each) and then we told people that they could take them with them as thank yous.
