How Much Did You Spend on Flowers?

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?

    I like this! I thought about having my bouquet “pressed”. But the only place that I have found that does it is booked through 2019 and my wedding is this October. So I won’t be able to have her do it. But check this out, it’s so cool!

    What are you getting in the budget of $600? Fake flowers cost just as much as real and if you use cheaper flowers (like sunflowers or daisies) you could actually make that go fairly far!

    Yes!! It’s still more expensive than DIY but not as expensive as using a florist Smiley smile somethingborrowedblooms.com

    Were having an intimate wedding max 20 people including vendors and us. 4 boutineers,4 corsages and 2 bouquets. I find the best bang for my buck. As well as it's a DW 3 states away and I don't want to worry about flowers dying so were going to do fake flowers for travel purpose.

    We are getting roses, hydrangeas, peonies (in my bouquet only), eucalyptus, and some other names that I can’t remember now that the florist mentioned. Our venue includes the centerpieces in their price, so what we are paying for is for the little arrangements on the cocktail hour tables, our sweetheart table, flowers for the cake, sign in table, 5 ladies bouquets, my bouquet, 7 boutonnières & a mini boutonnière for our ring bearer, the moms and grandmas corsages.... I think that’s all from what I could remember right now

    My venue is willing to provide some florals for the centerpieces but if we go that route we are limited to either succulents, orchids, or whatever is available. I'm thinking of going towards white orchids but we'll see. As far as my other florals for myself, my party, groom and his party, $300!! What a steal.

    Woo that’s a lot, but it’s not the most I’ve seen someone spend on here. I saw someone had a floral budget that was almost my entire budget! I wanted to keep my floral between $850-$1000, and I think I ended up being right under $800. Our centerpieces are lanterns so we didn’t have to spend a lot on floral for those, in just adding greenery rings around them and then I have gold terrariums on each table that will have a single flower in it. The majority of the cost were for bouquets.

    Usually they play pop punk/alternative... but they are going to play shallow. Fortunately the lead single is female & her bf (who is in a different band) will do the male vocals. We actually didn’t pick the song based on this, it was more so a happy coincidence.

    We shopped around a ton!!! It was hard to find a florist in our budget and still get what we wanted, but we made it happen with a couple of compromises, one of which was that we skipped all ceremony flowers and skipped a flower at each place setting (we opted for menus instead).

    -1 bridal bouquet and H's bout (Succulents were a MUST for me. They drove up the price a bit but I have no regrets at all! It was everything I wanted)

    -5 bridesmaid bouquets

    -7 bouts for the groomsmen/dads (looked basically like H's except they didn't have the ribbon or little blue berry things)

    -1 large arrangement for our entry way table (garland can also be seen here)

    -11 centerpieces (2 different styles)

    -1 garland for the head table (it was fake but had real eucalyptus tied in) with re-purposed bridesmaid bouquets

    I'm doing fake flowers and have ordered them all online. I got greenery at the dollar store. Making all the bouquets, boutonnieres and centerpieces myself and have spent just over $100

    I am going extra affordable and making my own paper flowers out of black paper, maps and books. Maybe not quite as pretty as real flowers but I am trying to keep everything affordable. And they are unique and will last so that is cool.

    I’m spending around $2,200 on flowers for my whole bridal
    party, the parents, 20+ tables, and a head table - most of our flowers will be babies breath and white flowers with greenery with 3 different center pieces and renting some of the vases, mirrors, and all the candles!

    The only flowers that I have are the wedding party, groomsmen and our centerpiece for the sweet heart table. And I think I spent $60 top on silk flowers
