Got quote from florist - what is your floral budget?

I also asked if we could possibly re-purpose the bridesmaid bouquets by incorporating them into some of the centerpiece designs to save some $.

That sounds like a great deal! Flowers are so crazy expensive 😩 we’re doing tall centerpieces, 7 bridesmaid bouquets, the bridal bouquet, 11 boutonnieres, an arch, and florals for the staircase and ours is just under $5,000. We’re in LA so everything is insanely expensive, but flowers are crazy! I think the price you were quoted though sounds pretty reasonable with everything you’re getting. Unfortunately everything’s marked up when they hear the word wedding!

I was thinking it sounded pretty reasonable too!! My fiance looked like he saw a ghost when I told him the price lol. I'll show him this post to help him see it's a good deal

View Quoted Comment Haha yeah it’s definitely shocking at first!

That's pretty reasonable! I was quoted about $2500 for 5 bouquets, I think 8 bouts, 3 or 4 corsages, 2 flower crowns, an arch and decor, aisle runners and chair decorations, plus 8 modest centerpieces.

I just personally didn't want to pay that much so I'm doing Etsy flowers for the wedding party and arch, and skipping flower centerpieces.

We paid $4,000 in Denver for wedding party flowers (6 parents, 9 bridesmaids, 10 groomsmen), 8 centerpieces (mix of tall & short), greenery runner, ceiling greenery decor, and a few other arrangements (dessert table, memorial table, etc.)

That looks gorgeous

To me - this sounds fairly reasonable! I also found trying to estimate floral costs tough! & I'm a BIG flower person so I was just anticipating paying around $2,500-$3,000.

We are paying (sorry can't remember exact cost) around $2,400 - our package includes 4 bouquets, 4 corsages, 6 boutonnieres, fresh petals for aisle & flower girl, 4 flower crowns, florals for arch, 8 centerpieces (varying in size), lots of additional greenery on tables, minimal flowers for brownie bar & guestbook table and a garland for the sweetheart table.

Sounds like a decent deal to me. We are paying about $2700 for our florals... my bouquet, 3 bridesmaids, 1 jr bridesmaid, flower girl, 3 groomsman, 4 parents, plus florals and rentals for tables (forgot how many tables). The price also includes delivery and teardown. At first it felt like a lot for "just flowers" but I think they are going to be beautiful in the space and I don't have to do a thing to set up or take down. Good deal in my book!
