Wedding Flowers... how much should i budget???

It really is a how long is a piece of string type question, depends on the flowers you want, whether they are in season and what part of the country you are in.

1x bride bouquet £50+

3x bridesmaid bouquets £35 + (each)

1x groom buttonhole £5+

4x other male buttonholes £5+ (each)

1x flowers for the top table... Depends on the arrangement(s) £75+

Hi.

It's so hard to know prices as it depepnds on the flowers you want. If I were you, I'd meet with a few florists and see how you feel with them and their prices.

I met with three florists and knew almost straight away that one of the ladies was exactly who/what I was looking for. Her knowledge was fantastic and she was so helpful with suggesting more affordable flowers than others but that would give the same effect. In fact the third woman I met asked my budget and when I told her the price I was quoted by my fave florist she turned her nose up at me, scoffed a bit, said she would do the best she could with that (like she was doing me a favour) and then told me all my style choices were too old for a girl my age (because I like gyp as bm bouquets)!!! From that point on I just agreed to everything she said, walked out and told my OH there was no way she was doing my flowers!!

VERY rough guide I'd say about £65-75 for bride bouquet, £35-40 for BM's, £6 ish for buttonholes, a bit more for the groom, top table approx £65-80 depepnding on what you want.

But as I say, it really depends on flower choice.

My bouquet:

Bridesmaid x 3:

Groom:

Other men x 4:

Top table:

Thats all the flowers!

Like everyone else has said it really does depend. This is my quote from the florist we are going with

Bride - 90.00 (Roses, Hydrangeas, Ping Pongs, Gypsophila)

2 B'maids - 45.00 each (Roses, Ping Pongs, Gyps)

2 Flowergirls - 15 each (Roses)

5 Male buttonholes - 7.50 each (Roses)

3 Page Boys button holes - 5.00 each (Just Gyps for the little ones)

Table centres 12.50 each (she did me a brilliant deal on these for the amount we are having on each table) (Hydrangeas)

Sorry for any wrong spelling on the flowers!

Thanks for the comments

Based on quotes I've had...

What are you having as centrepieces by the way? X

We are having candelbras with candles in. No flowers on the tables just on top table infront of me and Oh, with a white mr and mrs sign

There's a florist based at Orsett Hall who is very reasonable. No idea what her contact details are though but worth a google

As the others have said it depends entirely on what size and style the bouquets etc are, what flowers you choose i.e. are they in season etc.

MrsH2014 ..............Gypsophelia is the up and coming flower of the moment, very fashionable this year! ?

You can get reasonable bouquets go with seasonal flowers to cut costs if things are getting out of hand the prices above are about on par with most florists these days for fresh flowers.. artificial can be cheaper and are realistic so another thought for you again
