Wedding flowers!!!!

Ashley, on October 28, 2019 at 12:32 PM Posted in Do It Yourself 0 4
A coworker of mine offered to make my Bridal bouquet, 3 bridesmaids bouquets, 4 corsages, 9 boutonnières, greenery for the welcome sign & peddles for the flower girl.
I have purchased all of the supplies and floral she requested....

Now how much should I pay her? Floral + materials is about $320..... she does an amazing job. Would $200 be good?

    So are you paying the $350 for materials and trying to decide what to pay for the service? I'm not sure, but I think $200 sounds reasonable?

    I'm guessing that you and the coworker never discussed pricing for her work? That's kind of unfortunate for you. What if she thinks her designs are the best ever, and she wants top dollar for her efforts? You should always discuss this kind of thing ahead of time, so there are no surprises.

    If she really offered just to be nice, or as a gift, then yes, $200 is a reasonable "tip." But I think you should ask her straight up what you owe her for her services. If she says "oh, nothing, it was a gift" then you can feel free to "gift" her whatever amount you like.

    Yes ma’am, I’ve already purchased the florals and all of the material she requested.

    i know she does amazing work. And she did offer to do them. But I want to make sure she knows how much I appreciate her

    Oh yes, she totally said it was a gift. As soon as I got engaged she asked if I wanted her to make the flowers. She is a super kind lady who is absolutely genuine with all of her gestures
