Flower Meltdown

View Quoted Comment Ouch, that may be why the cost is high too

Hello! I love DIY brides!! I’m getting married in November and I’m also making my own flowers arrangements for centerpieces! I would strongly suggest Kroger, sams, costo for natural flowers that would be around 500-600!! you can always go and tell them what you would want and when and they will give you a quote! Good luck 😄

Friend of mine just turned me onto https://www.budget-bride.com/ for fake flowers.

I ordered a sample, and my friend showed me pictures and even videos (she's a sweetie), and if I like them... I think I can spend less than $500 and get what I need.

I'll let you all know!

Flowers are very expensive. Floral was my last thing i booked bc i refused to pay over $1000 for personal flowers (bouquets, boutonnieres, corsages). I finally look on Instagram by hash-tagging #weddinginVA and I found my floral company which i am supper excited. For everything i am paying $670 and she is adding free things to my bouquet. My flowers centerpieces are included with my decor company.

My florist actually told me greenery is more expensive than flowers so I would try using something else.

I'm getting our flowers from a local farm that can source out for flowers year-round for $300 and we are putting them together at another farm near us where they will help with the arrangements. Costco does deliver as well as a few other sites I found fiftyflowers.com and bloominous. The flowers were a bit stressful for me too with a limited budget. I'm sure you will find something lovely that works for you!

Late to this party, but we got our 6 BM bouquets, 6 bouts, 4 corsages, 2 altar arrangements, and my bouquet from Wegman's for less than $500. We're probably going to TJs for centerpieces, and anticipate spending less than $800 total for 20 tables and 6 BM, 6 GM, and our flowers.
