Florist HIB help please!!!

massuch, 10 May, 2011 at 19:06 Posted on Planning 0 5

The venue we are using has these artificial 3 ball topiary trees all over the hotel and I'd asked if I could use a couple of them and have them dressed, no problemo.

Asked my florist to give me the best price they could to dress them with roses and just got price back today at £150.....EACH!!!! Florist has said a cheaper alternative would be to use white carnations and price would be £78 each.

Do any of you guys have any other ideas as to how I could dress these more cheaply?? I'd thought about just putting flowers on the middle part but then what do I do with the top and bottom ball?? I really want to use these, was gonna have them at either side of a square pillar with the table for the birdcage and guest book in between them in the bar area as you enter the venue just to dress the bar area up a bit.

Here's a picture of the tree

    HOW MUCH!!! £150.00 each tree??

    That is outrageous!

    To do something like this using artificial flowers would cost about £12.00 per tree, if you wanted to add lights to the tree add on another £10.00

    Exactly. I didn't expect it to be cheap but was shocked at that price. She had told me that an akito rose would be £2.50, so I don't know how many roses she thinks need to be put in.

    They are quite large trees with the largest ball being 14" high x 62" round.

    How much do you charge per rose?, I think akito roses are smaller than the ones in your picture.

    I can get a size similar to Akito and they are approx 50p each.
