Wedding flowers

We paid about $7k for everything including delivery charge/tax/installation/admin fees. We had a large wedding party so that’s what made it so expensive.

$400 for everything and shipping (just bouts, corsages, and bouquets). They are real touch silk flowers. I wasn't going to pay the $2000 + I was quoted for flowers that were only going to last a couple days.

😍😍😍 beautiful flowers Kelly!! I really love the look of the greenery table runner!

I put my bouquets and centerpieces together from bulk flowers from Costco. It saved a lot of money but meant I had to keep everything simple (basic round shape, all white etc) so I wouldn't go crazy! The flowers were $200 but that doesn't include supplies (ribbon, tape, foam, shears) or storage or transportation to the venue, or the hours of work to put them together! My bouquet

Did you get the silk online? I'm looking for a place for good quality silk and these look great!

For mine, our parties, parents, grandparents, and flower girl toss we paid 1000. I wanted fake flowers but my MIL ordered real. They were so beautiful.

I had them all custom made from a women on Etsy!

I used fresh flowers ( Sorry no picture yet) My Florist made all of our bouquets, boutonnieres, and corsages. And for centerpieces ( I had 15 tables) I got the flowers from a local farm and arranged them in a ivy bowl vase. Flowers from local farm cost $160 and from the florist bill was $400

View Quoted Comment That sounds really nice! I want to get a good deal but I want to do zero amount of work haha

View Quoted Comment Beautiful!! All the components of your wedding based on just the few pictures look like they really came together

View Quoted Comment WOW those are so nice!! I’m not really against silk flowers at all. All I want for sure is to do none of the work 😄 I need someone else to be the designer and everything

View Quoted Comment That’s really awesome that you arranged those yourself! Looks really good!

It wasn't so bad. I had 2 other friends helping me it went smooth

We splurged a bit since we had not much other decorations. His grandparents insisted on paying 4k so we made it worth it. We had a 100 person guest list. People brought florals home from across the globe and people are still talking about the florals almost a year later.
1 bridal bouquet
1 small bouquet for my best lady
7 mismatched boutonnieres
5 floral cuffs
1 large floor arrangement
Ivy up the banister
3 Medium arrangements
3 small arrangements
1 Adorned palette
60 bud vases
$4,467 for florals including installation and breakdown.
I purchased all the vases so people could take them home with them, larger arrangements for grandparents and parents, bud vases for all guests.

View Quoted Comment This is so good but one can also go for the red rose petals.

Following! I love this thread!

Ladies, did your florist have free range or did you have something particular in mind? Did they do strictly what you wanted or just go for it with your ideas and interests in mind?

View Quoted Comment I originally told my florist I wanted neutrals and greenery, but then remembered why I found her. My inspirations were @farmgirlflowers and her (@flowerwellny) which were bursting with color and florals I can't identify.

I gave her notes on color and vibe and emphasized wildflower feels mixed with tropical greens and loads of texture. We shared tons of inspiration and had long chats. She was truly a dream, she took my thoughts and brought it to life and exceeded all expectations.
