is it possible to have a bridesmaid bouquet for $20 bucks!! HELP!

dstfoour · August 2010

I am having to cut my flower budget in half due to my WC going MIA. I want real flowers and I love daisies. It will be in season for my fall wedding. I just don't know what to do. I have gone to two florist and I feel as if they think I am crazy for what I am requesting, but this only works for my budget.
I know flowers are a major part, but I can't fit in no more than tweny bucks because I need centerpieces, bouts, and corsages, and plus my bouquet...
I am not creative for DIY...so any suggestions

Try going to Kroger or a local store like that. Just tell them what you want and how much you can spend. Most of them will work with you.

If you want JUST daisies, Market Street sells in them bunches of 4 or 5 for $4 each. They charge 10% I think to arrange them so you could have 3 bunches arranged for about $20 including tax.

They have other flowers that can be mixed in that are also $4 a bunch.

I worked with Patty at the Allen Market Street, and she was great. We made our centerpieces from the $4 bunches and she ordered the colors I wanted in advance for me to preview and everything.

I highly recommend her.

i would also consider doing non-floral centerpieces. do a little googling and see if you can find any you like the look of. even if you're not crafty, maybe there's something you could do, or have a good friend or family member help with as their "gift".

I'm using a florist (I think she gets the flowers wholesale and arranges them in her house) and my bridesmaids are carrying a bouquet of colorful gerbera daisies. Each BM bouquet is costing me $16. She's the one that suggested that arrangement/price - I think she knew I didn't want to spend a ton on flowers and they weren't a priority to me, but I didn't even have to tell her I wanted to spend less than $20.

If it helps, I decided to do pocket squares for the guys instead of bouts, and I'll probably do daisies for the centerpieces as well - but originally thought I'd just do a mirror and candles to save money. I didn't know how inexpensive daisies were! Knowing that, I'll probably do something with a few of those. (Or just one hydrangea in a fishbowl-type glass). Either way I don't expect to pay much, and I won't be DIYing anything either because I'm the opposite of crafty.

Let me know if you want me to PM you the florist's name. Otherwise it sounds like you have good suggestions of even less expensive ways to go! GL!

I am using Market Street in Allen....and they are charging me $8 for each bridesmaid bouquet (which are made of hydrangea)

donnamarie02 · August 2010

I'm pretty sure my BM bouquets are $20 and bouts are like $4. I'm getting my bouquet, 4 BM's, 2 mini mom's bouquets, 1 corsage, 2 pomanders w/crystal beading handles, like 12 bouts, toss bouquet for $300 something.
Let me know if you would like information. You might have to page me. I'm not good at remembering to look back at threads he he

Patty in floral? Did she by any chance come from a Lubbock store??? Cus when I worked at Market Street in college, I worked in floral once in a while too with a manager there named Patty.
