Flower budget?

We got real flowers through a local wholesale distributor via costco for $600

I'm only spending $650 for my bouquet, 2BMs, FG, 1 boutonnière and 16 centerpieces.

$40. We are having our wedding in a garden, so I don't see much point in spending money on flowers! Just enough for a bouquet and boutonniere of lavender.

I was quoted a variety of prices. My largest quote was $3600 for My bouquet, 1 MOH bouquet, 1 FG bouquet, 3 corsages, 5 bouts, and10 centerpieces. Needless to say we shopped around and I'm getting all of it for about $650.

I'm making my centerpieces and the materials for those and the real flowers for the bouquets are costing about $500 total. That's for my bouquet, 5 BM bouquets, 5 boutonnieres, FG thing, and a couple of corsages for the mothers and grandmothers.

Mine is just over $2,000 for 3 bouquets (mine and 2 BMs), 5 boutonnieres (FH, 2 GMs, 2 dads), 2 lap bouquets for the moms, 2 altar pieces, 8 table centerpieces, cake flowers, flowers for my hair, and decorations for the cake table and chalkboard/program.

We are getting a total of 43 pieces and its costing us $1415 with delivery and tax.

ETA: we are getting hydrangeas and they tend to be a little more on the high end.

$1000 for 10 centerpieces, 2 altar pieces, sweetheart table and aisle decor.

For real flowers those budgets sound about right.

Me I went with silk so I'm spending about $500 for everything.

$400 for my bouquet + 5 bridesmaids, 2 mom bouquets, 7 bouts.

Our centerpieces were fake flowers.

We are spending a little over $3K, that includes, my bouquet, 7 BM bouquets, 2 corsages, 11 bouts, 45 flower centerpieces, 2 extra large vases, 2 medium sized vases, 4 short arrangements, delivery, set up and take down. I love my florist and I know that everything is going to look fabulous.

Flowers are among the items in which budgets can vary the most. The cost can be lowered by:

* Using less expensive types of flowers.

* Using fewer flowers per bouquet, centerpiece, etc.

* Limiting the size of your wedding party, and/or not having (any or as many) personal flowers for people not in your wedding party.

* Using fewer floral items (e.g., having nonfloral centerpieces, bouquet alternatives).

Our total floral budget was $275. That included:

* Two bridal bouquets.

* One MOH bouquet.

* One bout for the dude of honor.

* Freeze-dried flower petals to scatter on tables at the reception.

You just have to decide how important flowers are to you.

Our budget for all our flowers is $3,000.

I'm expecting around $600 for mine.

All in all, our budget for flowers is $1250. I just got a quote of $800 from Metropolitan Market (a local high end grocery store in the PNW) for my bridal bouquet ($135), 6 bridesmaids bouquets ($65 ea.), 12 boutineers ($15 ea.) and 4 corsages ($25 ea.)

Our venue is at a city owned building and will have TONS of outdoor flowers, so we're getting additional flowers through a BM's mom at the Washington Floral Market - which is basically wholesale and going to save my life and floral budget.

Generally, flower arrangements and presentations make up 6% of the total Wedding Budget. If the $**** you're currently planning to spend more than that percentage, then you should feel free to investigate ways of lowering the amount of money spent on flowers.

Are there local species of flowers in your area that look good and can be picked before the wedding day?

5,200 for my bouquet, 8 BM, 10 groomsmen, 15 centerpieces, altar flowers and flower girl petals

I did my bouquets, boutonnieres, and mothers corsages at a local florist for a little over 600, and I got my ceremony decor flowers and reception flowers at a wholesale distributor for 400. I feel like 1000 is a decent number for the amount of flowers I got. I have friends who were more on the **** range and honestly we all had the same amount of flowers!

We are right around 1200 for 9 bouquets, 15 bouts, 15 centerpieces, 6 corsages and an arch rental
Its a freaking steal!

We are only spending $400 on all flowers and decorations because my aunt has offered to make paper flowers (I'm allergic to most things anyway and don't really even like flowers, so I prefer it this way). With that said, we absolutely splurged on the venue/catering/alcohol expenses. I think this is the best way to do it.

However, if they really want to splurge on flowers because part of their vision is to have tons of beautiful floral arrangements at their wedding, and they have the money to do it, then I say that's perfectly fine and I wouldn't personally judge them for it or call it silly. I know plenty of people think FH and I are silly for spending so many thousands on a one day celebration at a very expensive venue, so who am I to judge?
