I’m planning to book The Flowerman as recommended by a friend. It has spectacular reviews and I loved our consultant. For 6 bridesmaid bouquets, bride bouquet, toss bouquet, 13 boutonnières (parents, groom, groomsmen), flower girl, cake flower, and centerpieces, it would cost about $850. The catch? It’s DIY but they provide all the flowers and make it a party. A coach will make my bouquet while we make the rest guided by her. I bring my girls and we can drink wine and bring snacks.
The girls are willing to do it but I feel really guilty. Though, I’ve helped with some of my bridesmaids weddings. We would have to do it Thursday before the wedding so they would take time off work. But we also have rehearsal which is likely on a different day because of the venue’s schedule. I’m not the type of person who often asks for help. All other places quoted $1,200-$1,500. Is it selfish to ask them if it means time off? I need at least 4-5 girls.
My party is mostly sisters, cousin and sister in laws. Two of them own their own business and make their own schedule, the others I know have vacation leave.
