Help😱 I'm so lost about flowers

Amber, on September 19, 2019 at 2:16 PM Posted in Style and Décor 0 6
A Flower budget?
Real or Faux? Or a Mixture of both?
What flowers r available in what seasons? What flowers are beautiful but won't cost you a arm amd leg?
Flowers and what and costs Scares the crap out of me😱😱😱
I need a rundown on flowers for wedding like bouquets small or big lots of flowers or just a few or greenery?
Ceremony flowers do them or not?Reception flowers go big or simple?Then other flowers for whatever else I haven't even thought about 😒
🌹🌻🌺🌷🌸💐😬😭😲😱👌

    I got my fresh flowers on Fiftyflowers.com because I had a really small budget of $120. I got 5 large centerpieces for that price.
    In general carnations, baby’s breath, mums, gerbera daisies and hydrangeas are affordable flowers. It will depend on where you live and how hands on you are to determine price.

    Bridal bouquets are usually $100-$250 for a standard one, smaller ones would be a lot cheaper.
    Bridesmaid bouquets closer to $50 each. Small centerpieces usually start at around $30 but I’ve seen brides get them for less.
    Big centerpieces are $150+.
    Ceremony flowers are expensive, sprays in my area are about $200-$250.

    I was dead set on doing fake because of the price of flowers but we have a wholesale flower shop out here that let's you shop at the same price florists do. Now I can make my bridal party bouquets for $27 each. Boutoniers for $5 each. And to save money we are doing simple decor like this picture, and we'll have two vases on the Mr and Mrs table that we can just plop two of the bridesmaid's bouquets in.

    If you go fake use real touch flowers. If you go real ask a florist or wholesale shop if they'll have the types you like at that time of year. Look at pre-made bouquets online and see what you like.

    I did all silk flowers because my favorite flower the dahlia does not grow in December. I bought Through budget bride.com. If you are on a budget they are great because they have 100$ and 200$ options. They also can custom design your bouquet if you choose. That is what I did. I paid about 230$ (I think I remember That correctly) for my bouquet. Real flowers wise carnations and baby’s breath can be cheaper. Roses tend to be more expensive. Costs add up the more you add (boutonnières, bridesmaids bouquets, corsages)

    Agreed, I'm doing Fifty Flowers as well. I haven't received them yet, but HIGHLY recommend them. They have fantastic customer service and someone will help 100% of the way with building your vision for flowers, making it fit into your budget, and what flowers are in season. I cannot wait to DIY my flowers, I am saving well over $1K by doing it this way, and plus I get live flowers Smiley heart So pumped!
