Hello everyone! I received a quote yesterday from the florist we were hoping to use for our wedding. A family friend is taking care of all our decor for the reception and ceremony minus the flowers for the bridal party. We were quoted $1700 for my bridal bouquet, 1 bridesmaid bouquet, 4 boutonnieres, 3 corsages and 3 small flower crowns for our flower girls. Am I crazy or is this an extremely high price for the basic items that we need? For reference, we live in Eastern KY. I have reviewed many florist's price lists, several in larger KY cities than where we are located, and the cost doesn't add up anywhere near this price. I am also planning a wedding in Scotland and we are only paying our florist there $5000 to essentially cover our venue in florals, so I was very surprised by the proposed cost. I would have expected this if I had been ordering larger arrangements for the ceremony or centerpieces for the wedding but we only need the basics. Anyone else had a similar experience/would be willing to share the cost you paid for these items?

    There are several factors that come into this proposal, what type of flowers are you using? what type of year? are your flowers in season? I would consider doing your own if you want a good price

    We didn’t request any specific types of flowers, just colors and examples of styles of bouquets I liked. The wedding is in December but I’ve gotten several other quotes now, all less than half of what this florist was asking, so I think they were way out of line with their pricing.
