I've never heard of such a low florist rate. Usually the bridal bouquet is $50 to $95, and the bridesmaids are usually $45 to $65. Corsages can be anywhere from $5 to $20. The florists I spoke with all wanted around $1400, so I am taking care of my own bouquets and arrangements. My bouquets and centerpieces come to $288 from http://www.theflowerexchange.com





Have you ever considered making your own? http://www.theknot.com has instructions and videos on how, and the shop I mentioned above has a amazing deals on all kinds of flowers.
Reply:Hi. It all depends on where you live and what kind of flowers you want. But, yes, that is about right (even on the low end.)





Brides bouquet = $100 (usually....but can be MUCH higher)


Bridesmaids bouquets:


~ 4 @ $35/each (which would be cheap) = $140


7 boutonnieres @ $12/each = $84


2 corsages @ $15/each = $30





All of this totals $354, plus there would be tax. Again, this is a very rough estimate based on what I paid for my daughter-in-laws flowers 2 years ago!





Go to a few florists and get estimates. That is their business!


Tell them what your budget is and get ideas of what kinds of flowers you can get within your budget.
Reply:We paid around $750 for a bride's bouquet, the MOH bouquet, 6 corsages, 5 boutonnières and two moderately-sized arrangements for decoration. $375 sounds about right for what you list above and maybe even a little cheap to me. Plus, it depends on what kind of flowers you have and whether they're in season at the time of your wedding matters, too.
Reply:I am getting the above except also corsages for the grandmothers - 3 and the grandfathers - 1 and all up I am paying $557.00 which pricing around my florist is the cheapest by far and does exceptional work. I was very happy with the price but then things are always more expensive down under in Australia.
Reply:I have my bouquet, 2 bridesmaid , 1 jr bridesmaid which she is carrying a pomadore ball, 3 corsages, 8 boutonnières, and all of that is 275. I will be adding a few centerpieces to that though. I live in Illinois and the flowers are roses and calla lilies.
Reply:This TOTALLY depends upon what flowers you are wanting to use.


Ours was similar to your package, but with two large centerpieces added (we used at church, then at reception) and it was close to 800. Our bouquets were of a variety of flowers. Corsages were mini carns.
Reply:Every area is different and every florist has different rates. If you lived in say California and someone else answers who lives in same maybe Michigan the prices are going to vary. Simply depends on where you live at. The best bet is to call around to different florists shops in your area to get an estimate!
Reply:each florist is different get some answers by asking at a few. tell them you will take the best offer.
