Flower Budget?

KBARGLOWSKI · August 2009

Hi GirlsI was wondering what the average is for wedding flowers? I would need 5 bm bouquets My bouquet of course!! 11 boutinneres and 4 corsages plus centerpieces and altar arragements. I have budgeted $750.00. Can it be done or am I dreaming?

Go see Tiffany at the Flower Girls in Warwick and see what she can do for you. She is great with small budgets. It depends on how many tables you have for centerpieces but she is doing my flowers for $1080. Good luck!

I recommend Tiffany as well! She is great at working within a budget. If that's what you want to spend, she can make it work.

If you don't have a specific type of flower in mind that is more expensive anything can be done. The kind of flowers you pick jacks the price up as much if not more than the amount of flowers som times!

You should figure out the number of centerpieces you'll be having and the types of flowers that you'll want to use. For example, I'm using lots of orchids, and they're very expensive.I'm spending over $3K for 6 bridesmaid bouquets, my bouquet, toss bouquet, 9 boutinneres, 5 mother/grandmother/godmother corsages, 16 centerpieces (high and low), ceremony arrangements, hair flowers, cake flowers, and reception rentals (white lanterns, candlesticks), etc.

I also recommend going to see Tiffany at Flower Girls. You give her a figure and she will do what she can to work with it.

Thanks . I'll definitely check out Flower Girls in Warwick

Also try Frey Florist in Providence as they are really reasonable as well.

Also try Gina (Flowers by GiGi) She does it on the side so is usually pretty good about working within budgets!

I would say you could do everything but centerpieces for that much, honestly. It's a small flower budget, and you might be able to do it depending on what flowers/sizes of things you want. But you'll have to shop around, and you'll get sticker shock at a lot of places. Try supermarkets if you can, and if you can find a way to have someone pick them up and set them up for you, it'll be way less expensive. Places charge a pretty high % for delivery.

how about Jeff and Co? I hear he is great working with small budgets and he is super creative. I just don't have his contact. If you want to opt out of floral centerpieces, it will save you a great deal of moolah. Another place I would suggest is Polly from Robin Hollow Farm. Oh and another vote for Gigi. She has a special for $500 called the petite package. http://www.robinhollowfarm.com/Special_events.html http://www.gigisfloraldesigns.vpweb.com/PetiteWeddingPackages.html

I second Jeff and Co.

I was thinking of going super simple so mine will be a mini flower budget. I went to Frey's florist. They have small bouquets for the mother of the bride that could be used for BMs. Those are $20. I was actually thinking of the following for my super mini budget, 4 bridesmaid corsages, a single rose, a bride corsage, 2 mother corsages, 7 bouts, 2 vases of roses or daisy for church, 2 wreaths for the doors at the reception, mostly greens maybe and for the tables at the reception it comes with hurricane lamps so I got some candles at yummi candles on the web and will have rose petals scattered on table. Or, I've seen some ivy or floral vines wrapped around the hurricane vase on the top part.
