Hey guys,
I am starting to look around for a florist. I am looking to spend around 1500 (hopefully). We will have 4 BMs and 4 groomsmen and approximately 15 tables? I know the price of flowers varies greatly depending on what you want but I dont have anything crazy in mind and I definitely need a florist with a vision bc I am not really sure what I want!
Thanks!
Re: Who do you use/are using as your florist?
If you tell her what your price point is, how many of bouquets and such you need, what your colors are, and if you have any theme you want to incorporate she'll give you a quote with her ideas and creations. She really helped me figure out what I wanted.
I have the same numbers as you do. My first quote came out to $1100 and because I've been adding here and there I'm up to $1600, which is awesome for how much work she's doing!
We are using Kelly from Beautiful Blooms. She works from home so her prices are very reasonable. I feel like I'm getting a lot for our money. Her number is 617.840-7921 I will have pictures after December 11th!
They have a huge photo album of their flowers catergerized by colors...it really helped me think about what I wanted my bouquet and centerpieces to look like.
I posted reviews on here recently (if you can find them) or you can check Wedding Wire as well. A few other girls on here have used them also and had rave reviews. Good luck!

If you do not already have a flower vendor.......
I am charging almost nothing to do wedding arrangements because I need pictures for our website !! so this is a great opportunity for you to get great quality arrangements at pretty much cost price. Let me know if you are interested.
