Currently, I am dealing with florists and I have been setting up appointments with a few. I was wondering what is an average cost of centerpieces and set up fee. A centerpiece more on the lines like this one...white/cream hydrengeas and orange tiger lilies and similar vase.

    My centerpieces were tiny compared to the one you are going with.  In total, my entire florist bill, which included my bouquet, 3 bridesmaids, 3 boutonniere, 2 corsages, simple centerpieces, and simple ceremony flowers on the rows was a total of $1000 including set up and delivery.  We also only had 7 tables.  Sorry I wasn't much help! lol!

    I was quoted in the range of $165-$250 each for tall centerpieces.

    I am paying around $180 per centerpiece from my florist plus 17% for set-up, delivery, strike and tax.

    <div>We used Frank at Tulips a Florist in Fort Lauderdale.  Absolutely loved working with him.  So creative and reasonable with the price.</div><div>

    Wow! That's a lot and I have about 13 or 14 tables...yikes! My main concern are the high ceilings of my venue. I could do small centerpieces but the space will look bare so I have to go with tall centerpieces. One of the florists I have contacted gave me a different idea for centerpieces which required less flowers than the balls, would give me the height I need for the centerpieces, and have a candle. I am highly considering her idea because it will look best with my theme (Spain-inspired), it would create a warm, intimate setting, and comes under budget.

    <div>A friend is doing my flowers for a very reasonable price so I'm not much help but my opinion is that if you like it and it comes under budget GO for it! That $ can go to something else or back into your pocket. My favorite words my whole wedding planning time have been "under budget" :)</div>
