church flowers.. help!

Usually, the church ladies do the flowers every week but for a wedding, they should ask what your colour scheme is and will try to incorporate this for you. They charge you but they buy the flowers and arrange them. They are normally expected to be left in church as a donation which means you wouldn't be able to transfer them to the reception.

A word of warning, some church ladies actually charge more than your local florist would so do get a few quotes before approaching the church. The vicar should give you their names and phone number so you can have a chat about what you would like.

Hope that helps.

Same as above, we have been told that a lady does the flowers at the church and we have been given prices... don't know if this may help you:

6 x 'book ends' (arrangements at the end of seats in the aisle) £100

4 x top window arrangements £100

1 x Pedestal £70 (can have up to 4 of those)

We were also told that if there is another wedding on the same day (they only do a maximum of 2 weddings per day) then the cost of the flowers will be halved. I am not sure how this works if the other couple want all of the flowers avalable and we don't want any and vice versa?

Our church are doing an altar arrangement, two small and one large pedestal and some on the font for £200. We have been told they are happy for us to remove the pedestal flowers and take them to the reception if we wish (which we will do!).

Yes this is quite common, And I find that job is usually given to the ushers to do
