Flowers- What is the average?
Can you please let me know what the average people are spending on their flowers for the bride, bridesmaid, ceremony, and the reception tables. I just got my first quote and totally not what i was expecting.

Re: Flowers- What is the average?
My orignal quote was $770ish but we are doing all gerbera daisies and making them smaller so it will be cheaper. We have my bouquet, MOH bouquet, 4 BM bouquets, 2 FG bouquets, 3 mom corsages, 5 GM boutineers, 1 dads boutineer, 2 RB boutinners, 4 grandparents boutinners/corsages.
[QUOTE]I spent $600 but I did not have bridesmaids and my flowers were amazing!! That included delivery to my venue too! I had my bouquet, 10 centerpieces, ceremony flowers, cake table flowers, and the corsages and bouts. I think about 8 total.

My Read Shelf:
Wedding bouquet - 12"
Corsages for Moms & Grandmas (6)
Boutineers for groomsman and brother-of-honor
Boutineer for groom (after he changes out of his uniform)
Boutineers for Dads & Grandpas (6)
Moderate sized low table arrangements with roses, peonies, hydrangeas (18)
Large fireplace mantle displays of hydrangeas & floating candles (3 mantles)
Shephards hooks of hydrangeas, roses, and assorted flowers for ceremony (6)
Large topiaries with hydrangeas for altar (2)
A lot depends on the type of flowers you want, the size, the quantity, etc. Shop around because prices vary a LOT!

She has an etsy shop as well
she will give you tons of suggestions and ideas over the phone about what will be in season and work with any budget. I was really flexible. I wanted roses for my bouquet but being that it was a fall wedding I wanted mums and roses and other fall flowers for my centerpieces and we did them coming out of pumpkins and they were amazing!
[QUOTE]I am with Calindi that most of these numbers seem off because a lot of the girls are only doing the bare basics. You will need to think of ceremony florals, cocktail hour tables, accents (like fireplaces/banisters), bathroom florals, accent florals for the bar and escort card tables, cake dressing (maybe) and any other arragnements you may need if the venue has awkward empty space or ugly flowers of their own.

You don't NEED to think of these things - I've been to flower-free weddings that were beautiful and elegant. But yes, it is helpful to stop and think about what you WANT, because you can get a ton of arrangements for very little if the flowers you're using are cheap. It all depends on the type of flowers, size and style and difficulty of the arrangements, and the quantity of pieces.
