Hello! I just talked to my first wedding flower vendor yesterday and was totally SHOCKED at the price I was quoted. Over $600 for a bouquet for me, a boutonnière for him, and 7 centerpieces. I knew flowers were expensive but I didn’t think they were that expensive. That is way over what we can spend, we budgeted $300 for flowers and can’t really go over that. I’d like to shop around, but there aren’t many other florists in my area that are actual options.
So my question is, how do you keep flower costs low? We picked what is most important to us, and this is not one of those things. My fiancé really wants floral centerpieces but I could do without them—I think we could make non-floral centerpieces for much cheaper. Is it worth it to DIY my flowers? I also have to consider that I know nothing about flowers and am not a crafty person. The things I make look like they were crafted by a first grader lol. Any tips would be appreciated!
