I have no clue what a good price for wedding flowers are, and I'm meeting with a florist on Sunday.  I know it depends on what kind of flower you use, but ballpark.  I'm going to need 5 bm bouquets, bride bouquet, 7 bouts, and something for the moms(wrist corsage? no clue here lol).  I haven't decided on centerpieces yet, but most likely I'll be buying those too.  Thanks ladies!

    Here's the ballpark for mine. My bouquet was gerber daisies and roses, and the bridesmaid bouquets were gerber daisies. Our florist, Jane from Just For You, quoted the bouts and corsages before we set the flower so I think those prices are more standard: Bride bouquet: $120-150 (can't remember which) Bridesmaid bouquets: $40 each Wrist corsages for moms and grandmothers: $20-25 each Bouts: $9 each We added centerpieces at the end - I think it ended up being about $450 for 13 centerpieces.

    Estimate came in at $1,200 roughly and that includes: Bride's Boquet (only one, no tossing boquet) 4 BMs boquets Groom + 2 GM bouts Corsages for 2 moms, 2 sisters doing readings, bouts for 2 dads, 1 RBBoquet for FG3 arrangements for the front of the chapel on the mantel2 wreaths for chapel doorDelivery fee - charged per mile.Reception venue handles centerpeices so no need for me to owrry about that.Florists's estimates can vary dramatically between who you go to see. I saw 4 different florists and my estimates (for the same thing, obv) ranged from $700 - $1,700.Bottom line is it pays to shop around and see who can offer you what at what price and who you feel best about working with and getting your vision.
