Bridal Bouquets - How much do they cost?

[Deleted User] · February 2014

I have absolutely no idea how much bouquets cost and it's too early in our planning to go see a florist! I put a few links of some I find gorgeous - any suggestions for price ranges? I live in a Canadian city that's about as expensive as Boston. Thanks! Probably a bit less expensive: http://www.theknot.com/weddings/photo/bridal-bouquet-110940 Probably quite expensive: http://www.theknot.com/weddings/photo/white-peony-bouquet-103400 Also quite expensive: http://www.theknot.com/weddings/photo/white-bridal-bouquet-124717

Mine was $300. It all depends on the kinds of flowers that are used. Going to the florist was one of the first things I did. I don't think it's ever to early to see a florist so you can start gathering info and figuring out what you want and shopping for the right look.

I believe mine was $200… maybe $250?- just outside of Boston. Mine consisted of orchids, peonies, and roses mostly. Just to give you an idea

I just got my floral quote. I live in Buffalo. My flowers are less than $150-175. ANd I will be adding a little more volume to this floral arrangement. I may have to go with ranunculuses instead of anemones (heart is a little broken over that). Anemones are really difficult flower to get a hold of, and damage easily in shipping. My flowers are a little more expensive compared to the regional average because of flower rarity.

I live in Columbus, OH. I was able to find a really inexpensive florist and my bouquet was about $160

Mine is either $150 or $195, I can't remember exact price. It's going to vary based on what flowers you want, if they are in season, how many, etc.

My bouquet was $95. Here's a good article about how much bouquets cost and why.

Gorgeous, this is exactly the look I am going for too! I wonder if you couldn't use some silk flowers just for the anemones? Or to supplement them if some are damaged or they are too costly? Just a thought- I read that silk anemones are used even in many of these professional wedding shoot photos because as you said the live ones are so delicate and difficult to work with.

I dunno. I'm just planning on going to a florist the day before and picking out some flowers and tying them together myself.

I might spend $70 if I get really fancy with my flowers, but it'll probably be like $50.

It can drastically depend on location and types of flowers. I live in the bay area, where everything is expensive. Except, it's also really good growing weather here so a lot of flowers bloom all year. Even here, I got quotes for my bridal bouquet from $55 upwards of $250.00 for the same flowers.

I ended up going with a florist I loved and my bouquet was $65.00 for the exact flowers I wanted.

For what it's worth, after DOMA was overturned, my partner and I did a quickly JOP ceremony so we could be legally married, and I got another bouquet last minute from a florist down the street from the courthouse. It was $40.00 and it was gorgeous. (i'm attaching two photos... the first one from our wedding, the second from our quicky JOP ceremony).

Mitch617 · February 2014

My quote is $125 in Boston area. Roses, calla Lillie's, hydrangea, etc.

CrazyCatLady3 · February 2014

Mine is $250 for gardenias and peonies in NYC in June.

jenna8984 · February 2014

Mine is similar to @Mitch617 Hydrangeas, callas, roses $100 outside Boston. My bridesmaids are getting all white hydrangeas for $50 each.

Mitch617 · February 2014

@jenna8984 not bad! My bridesmaids are $55 each with roses, calla, goldenrod, and sea holly. I heard bridal bouquets are usually closer to 200 in our area and bridesmaids 50-100 so a lot depends on the florist and which flowers you pick.

I am getting married in the Bay and am getting married this July, do you mind me asking which florist in the Bay Area you used?

Gina0887 · March 2014

My bridal bouquet (10 in), 3 bm bouquets (7 in), 3 corsages, 7 bouts, and 2 alter arrangements..... $250 at my Kroger florist!)

@Queerfemme I love your dress for your JOP ceremony with your wife and how your flowers complement it without being matchy matchy!

Thanks! We got really lucky. Because we just called and said "We need a bouquet... pinks/blues/purples/whatever. Be there in 10 minutes!"

BlueBirdMB who did you use? I love that!

wandajune6 · March 2014

@QueerFemme- I'm in love with the dress you wore for your JOP wedding!

The other dress was lovely too, of course, but I'm completely smitten with that purple floral dress!
