Ranking Florists
Hi everyone,
I recently met with Connie Reimer and Contemporary Floral and they don't seem to be able to provide our needs with the right cost. Now we're in a crunch to find the right florist. Our budget is $2500 max with zero wiggle room and this needs to include flower delivery and tax. We need 17 tall centerpieces (little candles on the table wouldn't hurt), bride bouquets, 6 bridesmaids, 6 groomsmen, 2 flower girls, church aisle (alter flowers not necessary), and parents. We primarily want red roses but with other things mixed in to keep cost down. Is this doable with the florists below? Please include what kind of flowers were include in your centerpieces. I've searched some old posts but wanted to get some fresh reviews and experiences. The florists recommended half high and half low to keep cost down but I have mixed feelings on this since people sitting at the low centerpiece tables may feel like its the cheap seats and our venue has 25ft ceilings.Thanks!

Hey, I am doing primarily red roses, but without centerpieces.
I am doing bride bouquet (free toss bouquet), 4 BM bouquets, 7 groomsmen, 1 flower girl, 2 moms, and it is costing me $600.
I am using Apple Blossom Florist in Scotch Plains... I think it is definitely worth giving her a call.. she was very accomodating to my budget. (I have no idea how much the centerpieces would cost, but considering my flowers are red roses, I think it should be comparable).
A few of my friends used Apple Blossom for their weddings.. I can probably get you some pics of their flowers if you are interested.
Cindyn - Can you PM with the pictures? Thanks!

i went with half high and half low centerpieces and i had a huge ballroom with very high ceilings. i was hesitant about it, but i saw a pic of another wedding at the venue with the half and half and it looked fine. it also looked fine for my wedding too. my mom was worried about people complaining becasue they had low cp at their table, but no one really cared about it
my bio - updated with pics!!
For under $1000 we're getting 17 low but fat/full CPs (gerbera daisies), 1 bridal bouquet (30 mini calla lilies), 3 BM bouques (roses and gerbera daisies), 8 bouts (roses or mini calla lilies depending on who it is), 2 corsages, and 10 cocktail hour CPs (gerbera daisies). We're also getting a free toss bouquet, free head table CP, and he's going to decorate our cake free of charge as well.
