I’ve gotten kind of crazy with them... we are getting married in a garden in a super nice hotel we got a crazy deal on... so I started making some. Spent $800 on them for the reception, then found a florist I LOVED, spent $800 on the bridal party and family, and then kept adding more from her... I’m at $3,800 now!!! Oh my God how did that happen?! I’m taking tons of photos and have a videographer, and we have disposable cameras at the wedding tables so I’m hoping I’ll remember them forever. I will have the fake ones to decorate my house with post, but my gosh!!! Did anyone else go crazy on this or just me?

    Absolutely!!! I’m justifying it for the videos and photos to live on forever but it’s a first world problem and everyone would love us even in a courthouse

    We don’t want a lot of flowers at our wedding. We just wanted to be able to spend time with our family and friends. So we’re buying our flowers at Sam’s Club.

    We are making our own Centerpieces with fake flowers, but will use fresh flowers for bouquets and boutonnières. For my bouquet, my MOH’s bouquet and 6 boutonnières, it will be $400.

    $700 for all floral, I didn’t want a ton since we’re getting married outside in the mountains and it wasn’t my priority, it includes centerpieces, bouquets, aisle decor, sweetheart table tree, set up and delivery, and our chuppah.

    We arent having real flowers at the wedding-im not really a flower person. So i ended up buying my boquet and bridal party boquets from a past bride for $50. Lol
    We plan on buying odd and end fake floral stems to use in centerpieces but thats it. Saving alot of money this way

    I was getting quoted between $2,000 and $3,500 dollars which was wayyyy out of our budget. I actually found a wholesale florist where I could get the flowers at wholesale AND they will arrange them for only an extra $200. So for my bouquet, 8 bridesmaid bouquets, greenery for centerpieces, greenery for the aisle, flowers for the cake, and 12 boutonnieres we are only paying $900!

    I am not really a flower person so I only spent 400 a little under. I also am doing a small budget wedding.

    I’m spending about $750 for all flowers. 3800 doesn’t sound crazy to my as im in Atlanta so I’m sure I would have spent that if I went with live florals. We are renting artificial because I am trying to be sustainable as I can manage with the wedding, and also one of my bridesmaids just learned that she is very allergic to most flowers.

    I'm spending about $1500. We're doing fake flowers for a couple reasons (cost, the ability to keep them after, and the ability to have them all finished before crunch time- I think this will save me a lot of stress haha) I spent about 800 on flowers from an etsy shop (blueorchidcreations) for my bouquet, 4 bridesmaid bouquets, 4 corsages, 11 boutonnieres, and 6 flower crowns. The rest my mom and have been picking up at Michael's/Hobby Lobby for centerpieces and miscellaneaous pieces like the sweetheart table and a floral hoop. My mom has been putting them all together and she is AMAZING. posting a pic of the hoop and an arrangement she DIYed

    In the end, we will probably pay between $1300 and $1500 on florals. This includes:

    1 cascading bouquet
    1 maid of Honor bouquet
    6 bridesmaid bouquets
    7 corsages for moms and grandmas
    12 boutonnieres for groom, groomsmen, dads, and grandpas
    5 bags of flower pedals for grandmas
    Sweetheart table decor
    Maybe 2 or 3 random floral set ups on the card table and place card table
    And then set up/delivery

    We're only doing bouquets and boutonnieres with real flowers and it's costing us about $550. I bought some fake stuff to put with our centerpieces but that probably cost about $100. I'm not big on flowers and plants to begin with as I can never keep them alive so it wasn't super important to me to have a ton.
