Flower pricing

Our florist charged us $189 for brides' bouquet, $84 ea. for bridesmaids' bouquets, $14 ea. for boutonnieres, $25 ea. for corsages

The pricing that Nicole mention is similar to pricing I’ve come across in my search for a florist. I also wanted to mention that one thing all florists have told me so far is that it’s hard to quote florals because it all depends on what’s in season and available during the time of of year of the wedding.

View Quoted Comment Thank you! I met with a florist who is basically double that in New Jersey I just wanted to see if it was too high

I’m buying on Sams and bride bouquet, 2 bridesmaid bouquet, groom boutonnières plus other (10 pieces but they have 17 and up) at $240.

We used Budget Bride - fake flowers - and paid less than $500 for bouquets, corsages, and decor.
If real flowers are out of your budget, start looking at fake. They often fool people, and you don't have to worry about wilting.

You might want to check your local grocery store or farmer's market for cheaper prices!
Here's the quote I got from Kroger Grocery:
Bouquet: $50-70 depending on the flowers and how elaborate
Bridesmaids: $30-40
Boutonnieres: $9 a piece
Corsage: $25
Check out Etsy for cheaper options (they have beautiful faux flower arrangements) or SomethingBorrowedBlooms.
Floral shops are way more expensive.

I did fake flowers (probably not the most helpful response haha), but I paid less than $150 for 6 bouquets, 6 boutonnieres, and 4 corsages!
