Florals

I spent $1177 on four bouquets, 6 corsages, 14 boutonnieres, and a ceremony arch. I made the centerpieces for about $200.

We are looking at $4k for our florals for the following:
bridal bouquet, 4 bridesmaids bouquets, 2 corsages, 10 boutonniere's, 2 large altar arrangements, 1 head table arrangement, 1 large 20 ft. beam arrangement (overhead installation), 30 centerpieces (big wedding), 1 swag for seating chart
This quote was by far the cheapest. I met with 7 florists and all other quotes were anywhere from $6-10k

I'm going to preface my quote by saying that I LOVE florals and my grandmother was a florist for 40 years so having impactful florals was important to me. We're paying $4,600 for a ceremony arch, garland for head table, 12 centerpieces for round tables, garland for sweetheart table, bridal bouquet, 2 corsages, 4 boutonnieres, and a large arrangement for our guest book table.

I made my own centerpieces and decor with lings moments. I paid $700 to the florist for 1 bridal bouquet, 4 bridesmaids bouquets, 4 boutonniers, 4 aisle chair arrangements, welcome table arrangement, and a large centerpiece for the sweetheart table.

We're doing our own bouquets so we are only paying $500 + $50 for assembly supplies (ribbon, tape, pins, etc.)!

My matron of honor knows how to assemble bouquets so she offered to teach me how to do them so she and I can put them together the day before the wedding!

My quote is $5000 including taxes and flip fees. We're doing a bridal bouquet, 2 bridesmaids' bouquets, two MOB/G bouquets, 6 boutonnieres, blooms for cocktail hour bud vases, 6 chair decor for ceremony, wedding arch flowers, greenery for string lights above dance floor, 10 table garlands with flowers, and sweetheart table garland. I don't think I'm forgetting anything!

In total, we spent about $3000. But the only real flowers we're having is the bouquets, boutonnieres, and corsages. So at the florist, it was about $1190 for 1 bride's bouquet, 6 bridesmaids' bouquets, 2 corsages, and 9 boutonnieres. We also added flowers for our welcome sign and rented some decor for the pews at our ceremony. We went through a decor rental company for our centerpieces. I wanted large and small centerpieces, but they would be over $100 if they were real flowers. So we decided on silk flowers, we got 10 large centerpieces for $50 each and smaller ones for $45. We rented a floral backdrop for our sweetheart table and other decor. So we definitely saved a lot by doing a mixture of both real and faux flowers.

I spent $1,000 (cash) for all my flowers and delivery. My flowers were all in season except for one accent flower. I got:

1 bridal bouquet • 1 bridal flower crown • 6 bridesmaid bouquets • 1 Blessed Mary bouquet • 1 toss bouquet • 1 groom boutonnière • 3 groomsmen boutonnières • 3 father/grandfather boutonnières • 4 mother/grandmother corsages • 12 centerpieces in mason jars • 1 sweetheart centerpiece in mason jar • Cake flowers

We are paying 1400 for ours. We have 5 bouquets. 7corsages. 11 boutonnières. A ceremony arch piece. 6 ceremony vases and 16 centerpieces. A toss bouquet, flower crown and flowers for the flower girl and a couple little piece for the welcome sign guest book table and flowers on our cake.

Our budget was 6500. Florals were crazy important to me so we used about 25% of our overall budget on florals instead of the crazy 6% every budget planning tool told up to do. My florist (8th person I sat down with) came back with an estimate of 6268. Here's what we are getting:
Huge Bridal bouquet that drapes the floor
A floral comb for me3 brides maids hoops with ribbon2 flower girl crownsPetals and greenery for flower girls1 groom bout11 bouts4 corsages12 huge 3 ft centerpieces for reception tables/ decor for ceremony ( we are moving them during cocktail hour)2 huge boho style asymetrical arbor installations 4 barrel arrangements6 rectangular centerpieces for cocktail hour2 bar arrangements 1 powder room arrangementCake flowers

I actually got most of my flowers and things from the clearance Christmas aisle. It worked out perfect for us. We handmade all six of the bouquets and boutonnieres. I maybe spent $250, give or take, for all of it.
