How much are you all paying for your flowers?

That sounds like a fair deal to me.

We have been quoted £580.50 for

Brides bouquet - £75

2 adult bridesmaids bouquets - £35 each

1 flower girl posie - £15

2 corsages for mums - £10.50 each

2 smaller corsages for grandmas - £8.50 each

7 buttonholes - £4 each

grooms buttonhole - £5.50

12x roses to place in birdcages for ceremony - £24

2x small white buckets filled with flowers for ceremony table - £15 each

2x small white buckets filled with flowers for top table - £15 each

6x flower arrangments for candelabras - £40 each

Delivery and setup

We are also having roses and peonies so a good comparison

Hope that helps x

Sounds Ok to me.

Its a it more than I am paying for less - but although I will have peonies and roses they won't be the bulk of the flowers.

And like all things I suppose it will depend on where you are in the country too.

I am paying about £520 for:

large offset shower bouquet (bride)

a pomander and an arm held bouquet (BMs)

2 corsages for mums

1 buttoniere and 6 button holes

arrangement for the register table

10 table centres - all in the same flowers but different styles

arrangements for 4 windows.

That sounds about right, about the same costs i was quoted, even a bit less. roses are expensive, im not sure how you will be able to cut costs without swaping roses for something else.

If you NEED to cut costs, rather than just wanting to make sure its a reasonable price, I'd speak to the florist and see fi she can suggest other flowers to swap some of the more expensive ones out for.

I have just had a quote through for mine and its £750. This includes:

7 table centrepeices, 3 large, 4 small

5 flower arrangements on the top table

1 bridal boquet

3 flower girls petals

6 button holes

Large Heart foliage for decoration

These are made up of mostly roses.

Sounds comparable to mine. We're getting same quantities as you (excluding FG posies and top table) and paying £500. Also won't get any peonies in that either.

Ah so it's sounds roundabout the same, I thought it would be! I don't want to swap the flowers, we don't need to reduce the cost, oh was just being flippant I think ?

Sounds pretty reasonable to me. We're having roses, peonies, and maybe some orchids. We're paying around £900 for:

5 BM bouquets

My bouquet

Flower girl poesy

9 buttonholes

2 mum corsages

2 mantlepiece arrangements

14 table centrepieces

We're using the bouquets to decorate the top table rather than have a separate arrangement so that helped a bit. I'd still like to pay less but based on what we need, I don't see how we possibly could!

We have been quoted £482 for:

Brides Bouquet - £45 (Hand tied 12 large Cream/White Gerberas with looped bear grass and bound with ribbon)

Bridesmaids Bouquets – 2 @ £30 = £60 (Hand tied 8 large Cream/White Gerberas bound with ribbon)

Buttonholes - 9 @ £3.00 each = £27 (9 small White/Cream Gerbera and foliage, 1 of which will have looped bear grass for the Groom)

Table Arrangements – 8 @ £30 each = £240 (includes vase, mirror & bead hire - 12inch Clear Glass Fishbowls with clear beads sat on a mirror plate containing 6 large Gerberas of the same colour, tied and with looped bear grass (each fishbowl will contain a different colour Gerbera).

Gerbera colours: red, orange, yellow, baby pink, cerise, clove, white & peach. If any of these colours are not available we will substitute with an alternative and let you know.

Table Arrangement – 1 @ £20 (includes vase hire - Tall Clear Trumpet vase with Pompei Lily and Steel Grass)

Registrars Table Arrangement - £50 (Garland of Foliage with small Cream/White Gerberas and Thistle (for table length 1.2m)

Delivery & set up for 12.30pm £40

*Mum wants a botton hole rather than a corsage*

My mums having a buttonhole. I think wrist corsages look ridiculous!

Mine will be less than £100.

Thats for bridal bouquet, 3 x bridesmaid bouquets or pomanders, and 7 or 8 buttonholes.

Same here, look like they are going to prom....

Nothing as my mother in law does flowers so she is doing ours as wedding present!

That sounds about right

We're paying £950 for:

1 Shower Bouquet for me.

8 Bridesmaid Hand Ties.

4 Flower Girl arrangements.

6 Ladies Corsages.

13 Bridal Party/ Close Family Button holes.

100 Guest Button Holes.

An arrangement for the cake table.

3 Long Top Table Arrangements.

2 Pedestals.

6 Table Arrangements.

All arrangments will inclue Roses, Fresias, Lisianthus, Calla Lilys.

Corsages don't need to be wrist corsages - they can be a fancier type of buttonhole which pins on like a buttonhole, or can be made to dress up their bag etc.

Think our mums will have the pin on ones

I'm glad some of your mum's are having buttonholes too. I am making my buttonholes from silk tulips and they look brill! I'll flash when I have finished them all. Instead of corsages for the ladies, I have included a tiny pearl loop inside the tulip, which looks very pretty and makes them feminine. The men's ones have looped bear grass. My mum is quite trendy, and she actually said a wrist corsage (or even a corsage pinned on her dress) will ruin her outfit and would much prefer a simply, single flower, buttonhole. So that's what they are getting!

That's what I've tried to make, but also tried to keeo them elegant and simple so they will 'go' with the ladies' outfits. I went to a wedding in December and their (pinned-on) corsages were practically a small bouquet!

Mine cost £300 (mates rates) for the following:

1 brides bouquet

4 bridesmaids bouquets

1 childs wand

3 ladies corsages

1 wrist corsage

7 rose buttonholes

1 double rose buttonhole

3 foot top table arrangement

flowers for top of the cake

flowers to go around my Amore sign

They were FABULOUS flowers - i was so chuffed with them!
