before i pick a florist, can anyone tell me how much they think i could expect to pay all in? i'm getting married in belfast, so if anyone has any handy hints about there, they're very welcome!
How much can i expect to pay for wedding flowers?
Flowers are very expensive, mention wedding and the price doubles. Go to a few florists and get price lists before choosing one, and ask if you can see some examples of their work. They should have a portfolio.
Reply:They're not cheap, that's why I decided to have silk flowers instead. To be honest I just bought some new ones from a charity shop and made my bouquet and buttonholes etc with them. They cost less than £20 and I have still got them 3 years later. Although real flowers are nice they don't last and nobody could tell the difference between them and my silk flowers so I would totally recommend them.
Reply:I paid $800 for my florist...that included her labor charges, all the flowers, and decorations... but I really looked around to find her... most florists in my area wanted about $1500 for the same thing
I used all real flowers... and all of my flowers were roses... but I did mostly simple decorations... the theme for my wedding was "simply elegant"... so my centerpeices only included a single red rose (with other stuff around it) and each of my bridesmaids bouquets only had 3 roses and the rest greenery and additions.... personally, i think fake flowers are tacky looking because they are obviously fake... I also think that weddings that "over do" flowers are tacky as well... your decorations shouldnt look like the flower shop blew up...
Reply:I have some weeds in my yard that need pullin' anyhow...
They're yours if you want them...NO CHARGE!
Reply:if you know of someone who can do this for you it will save you ££££sand some of the flowers you can buy now are so real looking my bouquet was silk flowers as I wanted mum to place them on my grandfathers grave abroad and they were there for a long time and people admired them,as they just looked so real by all means get quotes and see what you think ?do not worry as the flowers will look fab and just as good if not real happy hunting
Reply:depends on what type of flowers you want and time of year
Reply:You have to be more specific if anyone will be able to help you. It has to do with the type of flowers you want, what the season is and if the flowers you want are in season or out of season in which case they will have to be shipped (more $$$). You can save money on flowers by not choosing flowers for your table centerpieces. You can use a variety of other items instead of flowers for centerpieces that will save you a ton of $$$ - the centerpieces are a huge hunk of the cost.
Reply:Mine is about 1,000 for
6 bouquets
6 men's roses
7 corsages
2 dad roses
1 bride bouquet
And I am using ALL roses, no filler.
It really depends on the flower you want to use- something like Daisy are very cheap.
Reply:buy plastic ones there cheaper
Reply:I approached a florist in a local shop and asked if she would like to do my flowers without her boss knowing, she was very flattered and got the flowers direct. It cost me £180.00 for my bouquet, 3 bridesmaids, table decorations(60 grand prix roses) groom, best man,4 ushers, and mums flowers!
Reply:I paid 8o pounds for two bridmaids,6o for mine.i would def shop around before ordering with anyone
Reply:hi megga bucks there not cheep and they do take the piss when its for a special occation
Reply:Hi There
It's a good idea to know what flowers you might like and a rough idea of the costs before you visit the florist - if you know roughly how much you can afford a good florist should work with you to get the flowers you want within your budget.
First of all make a list of the flowers you might like
http://www.myweddingflowerideas.co.uk/we...
Then cost them up to get a rough idea of the budget.
http://www.myweddingflowerideas.co.uk/we...
There's lots of ways to save money like choosing seasonal flowers or flowers that are more cost effective such as Gerbera instead of Calla Lilies - your florist should be able to advise you on this when you visit for your consultation.
Also it's a good idea to get at least three quotes to make sure you get value for money and find a florist that you can work with.
Reply:Using artificial flowers can save you a ton of money and if you are creative you can design the arrangements yourself. If you are set on real flowers check out some online florists, they have some wedding packages available for less than a local florist might charge. If you must use a local florist, use one that isn't very well known in town to save more money. The total amount you can expect to spend depends on how big your venue is and how well it is already decorated and also on how large your wedding party is.
Reply:it depends if you want to use real flowers which in my opinion are way over priced . In the united states roses a dozen are 21.99 down the street from me at the florist . so I guess it depends on what kind of flowers you want as well . I think you would be better off going with artificial flowers and you will always have them to look at later . You cannot do that with real flowers .good luck and congrats on the wedding .
Reply:You can expect to pay anything...from $10 to $10,000 on flowers...it just depends on what you want. My flowers were about $500. I got fake, but I got a lot...well, what seems like a lot to me anyway.
If you want calla lilies, they will cost more. If you want daisies, they will be pretty cheap. Carnations are cheap while roses are more expensive. It just all depends. Talk to a few different florists and look online, compare prices, and pick what you feel is the best deal.
Reply:well for the men id say about 50£ (5men)
for your brides maids id say 100£(5bridsmaids)
for you id says 45-75£ dependning on size and choice of flower , thats prob a average price
Reply:entirely to much
Reply:I live in Michigan. My flower cost is $700, but I found a local florist who doesn't do anything really elaborate, but still does beautiful work. So I was able to get everything I wanted well below what I budgeted ($1200). Make sure to shop around because the second florist we went to had prices that were double the first.
This does not include any kind of centerpieces, as I'm making those myself. It does include everything else: 12 boutonnieres, 8 corsages, 4 bouquets, cake flowers, altar arrangements, and flowers to tuck in the napkins, and rose petals for the cake table. I didn't have to compromise on anything.
And don't do silk flowers for bouquets, boutonnieres, etc. I really think you'd regret. I am filling a tall rectangular vase with water and putting in a silk orchid for each of my centerpieces, but those are the only fake flowers I'm using.
Reply:I bought a variety of silk flowers from ebay and made my own arrangements for the altar and pew ends for our wedding in August 2006. I made 25 buttonholes, my own bouquet and 7 bridesmaids posies. The flowers, foliage, ribbon, tape etc cost no more than 70 pounds and whats more I really enjoyed creating my own, discovered a hidden talent and saved a fortune! I wiil e-mail pics if you like. Good luck!

I am on a STRICT budget for our wedding, does anyone know where I can look at for catering, cakes, etc?
I am on a strict budget, we have a chapel and a elks lodge for the reception. Does any one know where I can look at for cakes, catering, florist, photgrapher in or around Florissant, Mo?
I am on a STRICT budget for our wedding, does anyone know where I can look at for catering, cakes, etc?
i'm having my reception at the banquet hall of my fiances fire house... i am on a budget too... and our wedding is going to look great!!!!
cakes... try grocery stores. they might not have 6 flavors of cakes and 20 fillings but most ppl are fine with white or chocolate cake and a "normal" filling of custard or fruit...
i'm saving almost $3.50 a serving by going to shop rite for my cake.
i'm also having a smaller cake and a dessert table to offer more selection.
for catering... contact your local community college or culinary school, shoot even home ec of some highschools... class project?... see if a student or class will take on the task for the cost of food plus $10 an hour to do it.
or post on craigslist for your area that you need a caterer for your wedding...
keep the menu super simple. pasta with red or cream sauce and a salad or chicken croquettes with gravy and mashed taters with green beans
browse the services section of craigslist for photographers and djs too. post that you are looking for one too and see who replies (i found a few for $300 for 6 hrs myself)
oh look on myspace for your area too... i have found photographers ads under the classified section too
for flowers... if you are handy and crafty... look at the floral dpt of your local grocery store or bjs/costco type stores. many times you can order flowers and create your own bouquets and centerpieces.
i've seen some great looking already made bouquets... i would get those and put them in pretty bowls as centerpieces.
if not i recommend afloral.com. silks are so realistic these days. i got silks from here and they are so real looking. nobody will know they aren't the real deal unless they are nose to petals in to my bouquet.
oh almost forgot ... post on craigslist under wanted... ask for left over wedding things that ppl are giving away or selling cheap...
and join your local yahoo freecycle group. i did and have rcvd lots of free wedding goodies. i got a decorative card holder/bird cage that retails for $50 for free from a recent bride who just wanted to clear her post wedding clutter...
and don't forget to yard sale and hit up walmarts craft/fabric dpt- sales!!!! and depending on when you are getting married- check the after holiday sales for goodies-
i was able to get votives for the tables $.40 each in glass holders and they are scented! we got holiday ribbon for under $2.00 a spool on clearance after christmas too
Reply:Go to the local boards at http://talk.theknot.com . The ladies there are very helpful and most of them are also on strict budgets.
If there is a Boston Market in your area, they have full service catering very cheap. Also your favorite restaurant may be able to cater. Most restaurants are more than happy to cater and are actually cheaper than wedding caterers, and you get alot more for your money.
If you have the patience, you can put together your own flowers. Costco/Sam's has inexpensive bouquets. Or ask a local community college if they have an floral design class that can put them together for you.
If at all possible, you shouldn't skimp on photography since you will have your photos long after the food is eaten and the flowers die. You can ask a community college if their art/photography class can photograph it for you or else hire a professional.
Even if you are a professional baker, you should not attempt to make your own cake. It is a project that requires a ton of experience that most people don't have (it is nothing at all like making a birthday cake) and it has to be done last minute to ensure freshness since your guests don't want to eat frozen cake. You will have so much else going on the last day before the wedding that you won't have time to bake, decorate, transport, or assemble a cake. Go to a grocery store bakery that you love.
Don't make your family and friends work at the reception. Speaking from experience, they do not get the opportunity to enjoy the wedding like everyone else does.
Reply:Food: Have family members prepare thier signature dishes. Aunt Betty always brings a green bean casserole to the potluck? Bingo, she can contribute this!
Cake? Buy or rent a small 2-3 tiered cake. Have the baker make one layer for you guys to cut and the other layer(s) out of decorated strofoam. After you guys have cut your pieces have the cake removed from view. Buy a couple sheet cakes that will be cut up in the kitchen and serve this to your guests-- no one will know!
Music? I'm sure you know someone or know someone who knows someone with either a ton of cds or an ipod full of music.
Flowers? go to sams or costco and buy bouquets of flowers (cheap!!!) tie 3-7 flowers together with pretty ribbon.
Photographer? got someone in the family with a digital camera and a good eye? they can do a scrapbook of your wedding. As my gift to my grandmother for her surpize 80th party, I did just that. I bought a ton of paper and embellishments in the theme color- purple. My aunts laid out cameras on the tables. I'd advise against this. I got stacks and stacks of useless pics. One lady there was in love with her granddaughter. So I got mutiple shots of the child!!!

Reply:do you have a friend who has a knack for making pretty cakes, or making good food? have them make it as your wedding gift. as far as a florist, you're going to have to search for those.. try online, since it seems to be cheap. or try to find pretty flowers that don't cost way too much money. you could always try to grow your own. but that would take time and work. hire a freelance photographer from your area, it's cheaper than going through an agency. just make sure to check references.. and look for a small business for catering.. they'll do it because they need the money, and you will probably get a good price.
Reply:I'm going to stack sheet cakes for my cake, using dowel rods between the layers. I'm going to use a half sheet, quarter sheet, and eighth sheet.
The only bakery in my small town won't even assemble a wedding cake on site, so I'm going to buy cakes at Wal-mart. Why should I pay for specialty service when a place isn't willing to give it?
It's pretty easy to assemble stacked tiers; I've done it before. You just insert dowel rods or drinking straws (cut to the bottom layer's height) at four points where the perimeter of the smaller layer will rest and lower the cake board onto the rods. With a grocery store cake, you might have to trim the cake boards with an Exacto knife or something so that they don't show.
Edit: Okay, is the thumbs down because I'm using sheet cakes? Because people use all kinds of shapes these days; I've seen plenty of rectangle layers in wedding cakes. Usually in combination with round or square, but what's the big deal if they're not?
Is it because the cakes are coming from Wal-mart? I'm far from the first person to suggest getting cakes from Wal-mart.
Is it because I'm stacking the tiers myself? I bake and I know how easy -- and it is easy -- it is to stack tiers.
Or is this just the thumbs downer who follows me around because I once called her out on being really rude to someone?
Reply:Do you have a local SAM´s CLUB in your area? If I was having an event that needed catering, I would check there. They have food, flowers, cakes, and chafing dishes and other supplies to keep hot food hot and cold food cold.
Reply:Cakes - check out the bakeries in grocery stores. They can do really decent cakes for a good price.

Brooklyn Wedding Vendors?
I am planning a small wedding and I am looking for suggestions regarding the best florist and bakery in Brooklyn. I live in Bay Ridge. Thanks!!
Brooklyn Wedding Vendors?
I don't live in NY but most bakeries will let you sample stuff so one of these days when you have time , dedicate your day to cake searching , take your maid of honor or someone with you to help you choose. Go from bakery to bakery and taste samples of what you want . Good Luck :)
Reply:are you doing silks or real flowers?

Any other brides having horrible wedding nightmares?
I have had some crazy ones lately! I had a dream that the florist dropped off the flowers at my house the day before the wedding (and I mean just the flowers, not arranged or anything) and told me her son was sick and I would have to do my own flowers. I had a nightmare that my Aunt who is doing my hair for the wedding (she is a stylist for a living...been cutting my hair forever) didn't show up and I had to do my own hair....and more of the sort... I know its just wedding stress, Im not to worried, but I wake up and I'm like ok whats up with me!? So, to all you brides out there-are you having crazy nightmares? If so tell me about them, lets laugh at how crazy we are becoming! :)
Any other brides having horrible wedding nightmares?
My wedding isn't until June 21, 2008 and already I've dreamt:
1. My hairstyle is HORRID
2. My makeup makes me look whoreish.
3. People get lost coming to the event hall.
4. EVERYONE RSVP's with a "no"
5. Half RSVP "no" and show up anyway.
6. Most RSVP "yes" and don't show and don't bother calling.
7. Our car gets stolen the day of the wedding.
8. A hurricane washes out the location of the event hall the day before to the day after the wedding date.
9. People interpret "comfortable beach wear" to be thongs and speedos (planning on a beach wedding). I really don't want to see our relatives in thongs and speedos!
So many little flashes of nightmares. That's the ones I remember!
Reply:I didn't have any nightmares before my wedding, but my friends had plenty of them for me! Of course they didn't tell me about them until after the wedding so I wouldn't freak out. :)
Reply:O yeah, don't worrie, you make crazy dream because you are so happy.
Enjoy everything and don't worrie about dream, live them alone
Reply:So far, i only had one crazy dream. I dreamed that five minutes before the ceremony was to begin, the groom was not at the alter.He was late and I had to stand at the altar and watch him walk down the aisle. I woke up and laughed so hard! Lately, I do not dsream as much as I am so tired from planning a wedding and working at the same time.
Say a prayer for us brides. We need it.
Reply:YES! We just bought a house and are fixing it up... we want to have most of the work done before we are married. I keep having these horrible dreams that after we are married, he sells the house and we move to this horrible places. One was a flat in Japan and it was in a really bad neighborhood and then another one was a gaint haunted house... and then another one was a run down hotel!! I am from Philly- so the Japan one is a real stretch!! I guess it just our minds trying to resolve the stress in our sleep!!
Reply:I think this is pretty normal,I know when my sister got married 6mths ago,Like two weeks before the wedding she didn't sleep much at all she would wake up yelling at everyone at the wedding,There is a lot of pressure on the bride and she does all the work for the wedding while the soon to be husband sits back and waits for his bachelor party.So I would suggest to you to try and clear your mind before bed,I know that is hard to do,Maybe take a relaxing bath and if you like herbal tea drink a warm glass before bed,or a glass of wine,It might help.
Reply:Yes,its hilarious, I keep dreaming that my wedding is the next day and nothing is ready and my dress doesn't fit. Or that I woke up late and had no time to get ready so I end up getting married in jeans(which is beyond silly, given that my wedding is at 5pm). I've also dreamed different variations of the following: that the store changed my dress and instead of white it is gold with an awful black sash around the middle, or that my mom showed the dress to my boyfriend and I was enraged.
It's good to know that I'm not the only one going nuts.
Reply:You're not the only one! I've been having those dreams since I got engaged last year. They always center around the dress....it doesn't fit,,,,it's horribly ugly...the store closes and I can't get the dress...and a million variations there of. It's becoming more frequent now actually, since I still haven't picked a dress and I'm getting married in July! It's just all of our "keeping it calm and cool" exteriors letting our true "oh my God I'm getting MARRIED!!" neurosis coming out to play in our dreams
Reply:Oh my gosh yes! I don't know why this is...I've had weirdo wedding dreams all my life and in all of them stuff goes horribly wrong. And it's not like i'm nervous or don't want to get married either. I think it's just a normal thing that we brides go through. I've had some REALLY funny ones. I had one this week actually. I have about 4 months until my wedding (April 21) but in my dream the wedding was this week and i hadn't gotten anything done except for what i've really gotten done now 4 months before. So in my dream the wedding was that day and i hadn't gotten the menu worked out with my catorer or my dress fitted and lots of other stuff and i was freaking OUT! Just enjoy the laughs and don't take the dreams literally! (I hope all of these dreams don't make me parinoid on the actual day though. I don't want to be nervous or stress about the little stuff)

Reply:I think this is pretty normal,I know when my sister got married 6mths ago,Like two weeks before the wedding she didn't sleep much at all she would wake up yelling at everyone at the wedding,There is a lot of pressure on the bride and she does all the work for the wedding while the soon to be husband sits back and waits for his bachelor party.So I would suggest to you to try and clear your mind before bed,I know that is hard to do,Maybe take a relaxing bath and if you like herbal tea drink a warm glass before bed,or a glass of wine,It might help.
Reply:Yes,its hilarious, I keep dreaming that my wedding is the next day and nothing is ready and my dress doesn't fit. Or that I woke up late and had no time to get ready so I end up getting married in jeans(which is beyond silly, given that my wedding is at 5pm). I've also dreamed different variations of the following: that the store changed my dress and instead of white it is gold with an awful black sash around the middle, or that my mom showed the dress to my boyfriend and I was enraged.
It's good to know that I'm not the only one going nuts.
Reply:You're not the only one! I've been having those dreams since I got engaged last year. They always center around the dress....it doesn't fit,,,,it's horribly ugly...the store closes and I can't get the dress...and a million variations there of. It's becoming more frequent now actually, since I still haven't picked a dress and I'm getting married in July! It's just all of our "keeping it calm and cool" exteriors letting our true "oh my God I'm getting MARRIED!!" neurosis coming out to play in our dreams
Reply:Oh my gosh yes! I don't know why this is...I've had weirdo wedding dreams all my life and in all of them stuff goes horribly wrong. And it's not like i'm nervous or don't want to get married either. I think it's just a normal thing that we brides go through. I've had some REALLY funny ones. I had one this week actually. I have about 4 months until my wedding (April 21) but in my dream the wedding was this week and i hadn't gotten anything done except for what i've really gotten done now 4 months before. So in my dream the wedding was that day and i hadn't gotten the menu worked out with my catorer or my dress fitted and lots of other stuff and i was freaking OUT! Just enjoy the laughs and don't take the dreams literally! (I hope all of these dreams don't make me parinoid on the actual day though. I don't want to be nervous or stress about the little stuff)
Getting married in Guam in a year - need help from someone familiar w/ the island in finding these vendors!?
Hey all. Getting married in a year in Guam. Need to find vendors for the following services:
1. Photography
2. Chaplain
3. Bakery (for small wedding cake)
4. Florist (for my boquet)
5. Salon (for hair and makeup)
6. What's the best/nicest hotel on Guam from your experience with the nicest ocean view rooms and most helpful staff in wedding planning?
Thanks a ton!
Getting married in Guam in a year - need help from someone familiar w/ the island in finding these vendors!?
My suggestion...if possible work with a wedding planner/co-ordinator who specializes in destination weddings. They may have contacts and can help with any of the legal issues (such as you will need a marriage license..many places have time frames the work must be submitted by). You may also want to consider finding a wedding co-ordinator in Gaum to handle some of the foot work for you.
Barring that, start doing online research. I would also go to the major bridal sites and post there.
And, is you are military or marrying military, there are military stationed in Gaum. If you are marrying a military person, you will be able to get married in the base chapel, use the O or enlisted club (if there is one) for a reception. The commisary should be able to do a small cake (if not to ornate) . If not, there are almost always military spouses on every base who do formal cakes and do hair and makeup from their homes. You may even be able to find a photographer this way!
Reply:And the military connection is???

Anyone ever have any nightmares or weird dreams about your wedding?
I had a dream last night that I forgot my wedding date and then last min was told I had to get ready. So I was freaking out that I booked everything on the wrong date and my dress wasn't altered!! I was calling the florist and freaked out because she was closed..... I woke myself up in a panic!
Anyone else having any strange dreams?
Anyone ever have any nightmares or weird dreams about your wedding?
I had CRAZY ones!
One ended up being partially true, My aunt/hair stylist for my entire life didn't show up to do my hair for the wedding in my dream and I had to do it myself and my hubby wouldn't leave me alone so I could get ready! I say true because not long after I had that nightmare I found out her son was in a competition in arizona the week of my wedding and it was gonna be CLOSE with them getting back in time, so I had to find someone else to do it! I got that booked, except the lady I booked acted like I was crazy for wanting a practice run (keep in mind this woman had never touched my hair!) so I cancelled her then found someone else, all was good for a month or 2, then she called and cancelled on me b/c she had to go to a hair show! I ended up with my mothers cousin who also does hair and she was soooo great, came and did everyones at the church adn didn't even charge me for mine and my moms! it all worked out in the end but it was a little creepy!
Not all my dreams came true tho, I had a dream that my florsists baby got sick and she dropped all the flowers at my house (not arranged, in buckets) and told me she had to go to the hospital, she couldn't do them! CRAZY! Not to mention about 400 other ones that kept me from sleeping for months before the wedding!
Reply:I've had a few. In one, I was going to someone else's wedding with my fiances family and the day before the bride dicided she didnt want to get married. My future father-in-law, being as thrifty as always decided since my fiance and I were already engaged we should just use all their vendors and such and get married the next day in place of the other couple. To save even more money, he decided my finace and his whole family would sleep in the curch that night instead of getting hotel rooms. They all slept in their own pew that night and I had to go and wake them all up the day of the wedding because there was no outlet for an alarm clock in the sanctuary.
Isnt it funny how you remember little details in yoru dreams?
Reply:i think we all go through that, i think it is the stress of planning a wedding and trying not to forget anything that you need for that day.
i had dreams that i go to the chapel and i didnt have rings or a marriage liceance and that we didnt have our maid of honour and best man because we forgot to tell them that was there role. too funny, it will be fine and everything will pass. no wedding is perfect but it will be great.
Reply:My evil sis in law objected when the preacher asked for them.
It's normal Bubbles, you're stressed out this, and your dreams are your subconscious way of getting out the stress. I would expect to have more and even crazier dreams the closer you get to the wedding. It's just all the subconscious fears you have of what could possibly go wrong. Hang in there, and when you wake up, just remind yourself "it's only a dream."
p.s. how was your weekend with psycho bride? ;-)
Reply:Four weeks before my first daughter was married I woke up terrified. I had dreamt my teeth were extremely buck, it was 2 days before the wedding and I knew there was nothing I could do about it in that short of time. Had the dream for about a week.
Reply:I think your dream simply means that you're a little nervous about making such a big change in your life. You are closing one chapter and starting a brand new, monumental one.
Also, certain elements of your dream are telling you that you only have a limited amount of control over your wedding day. You need to trust the caterer, florist, seamstress, etc and just focus on being the beautiful, beaming bride. I was just as anxious as you before I got married three years ago, and everything came together just fine!
Reply:Nope. Not a one. Then again, I wasn't all that concerned about the wedding. It's one day %26amp; what happens, happens. I was taking more time preparing for my marriage.
Reply:My marriage was a nightmare does that count? You are supposed to be having fun right now not having nightmares. Go to your doctor and ask him to give you something for anxiety.
Reply:I did (got married 7years ago). You are describing classic anxiety dreams. Just keep telling yourself you don't have control over everything. The important part is you and your fiance get married and start the marriage off right.
(BTW- we actually had a tornado warning that evacuated our rehearsal dinner to the basement of the hotel. We actually had a woodsman drop a tree on the power line to the reception hall and dinner was late by 1 hour because they couldn't cook the food. The power came back on 15 minutes after my host and hostess arrived to the reception hall and the hall didn't have a contingency plan to cook us dinner. My host and hostess took care of everything and told us about 30 minutes after we arrived. We received extra appetizers for free to help the guests not be famished. It allowed us to mingle before dinner! The important part worked great- the ceremony! That is all that mattered.)
Reply:what wedding ? oh yea .
Reply:got assasinated right before " U may kiss the bride"
Reply:Yes, I've had one as well. I dreamt that for some reason our families wanted to have the reception first, and my fiance left in the middle. Then, I realized that we had totally missed the time we had scheduled for the church. It also dawned on me that we didn't meet with the pastor like we discussed to do premarriage counselling.
I think it must have to do with nervousness of having it all go perfectly, so the nightmares are quite normal.
Reply:I just had one last night. I dreamed that I still didn't have a dress and the wedding was going on without me. No one would really listen to me when I was freaking out though. They finally got me in the car and tried to take me to David's Bridal to get a dress off the rack. Needless to say, I cried the whole time. That's what I get for watching episodes of Bridezilla right before I go to bed. Last night the one where the groom doesn't show up was on. I think it got me a little nervous.
Reply:oh girl let me tell you! Im getting married on oct. 20th and i had a dream a few nights ago that i seen my maid of honor walking down the aisle and i was crying so hard i was like go back!! no!! and when i got up to say my i do's i had the saddest look on my face while doing some hardcore crying. I dont know why i had that dream lol but it was terrible!
Reply:yeah I had a strange dream that two of my friends where getting married and one of them turned into a bridazilla. And one of the girls was a lord of the rings dork and she had an ork ring. And then I dreamt that I showed up naked to both of their weddings. Crazy Huh? and I had to get my ars waxed in front of everybody.
Reply:I have all my major vendors booked already but still need to take care of the smaller things like decorations, favors, gifts, etc. I had a dream that it was Thursday before my Sat. wedding and I realized I still had not purchased these items. Everyone told me it was OK cuz I could still shop on Firday but I knew I would be too busy with the rehearsal. I was freaking out and everyone thought I should just calm down.

Help with wedding flowers please!?
I am having difficulties finding a florist for my wedding in Wimborne, Dorset. Most of them are very unreliable, not getting back to me on quotes and also missing appointments! Others are just too expensive! I want a country style wedding with lots of flowers but am having great difficulty with this. Anyone know a florist in the Dorset area that might be able to help, please?

Reply:Unfortunatly, I am not from that area and therefore do not know of any florists. Fortunatly I do have 7 large large flower arrangements with the vases. They are artificial but i used them at my wedding and no one even knew they were fake! :) I can send you some pictures if youd like! I just got married May 17th, so they are still new pretty much and in great condition!

Florists, and music for a wedding?
Can any one give me some good names for florists in Vancouver B.C. and a Dj for music in Vancouver B.C. or burnaby is ok to thanks.
Florists, and music for a wedding?
I feel bad that no one is able to help you. I'm sure that you already have, but I would check all around the internet. You can always get the phone numbers and email address from the websites to actually get in touch with someone helpful.
Good luck.

Wedding flowers?
I'm getting married in late October and I'm trying to decide what type of flowers I want. My colors are black and hot pink and white. Can you get any type of flower from a florist in fall or does it have to be in season? I was hoping for tulips.
Also, any ideas on any hot pink flowers that would look good in wedding bouquets?
Is the McCartney rose easy to get a hold of? Ever seen it in a florist shop?
Wedding flowers?
For a fall wedding tulips will not be available, or if they were they would be VERY expensive.
One of the greatest hot pink flowers is a stargazers lily. There are a lot of hot pink roses, the McCartney is a garden rose and hasn't been done as a florist rose.
White calla lilies are great.
Good luck!
Reply:I would talk to your florist she should be able to get you any flower you want. You could also use silk in your bridesmaids, and grooms men, and family members. and use fresh in your arrangement. Some good silks look as good as fresh. Your florist may even be able to help you there. Or check out books at the library for ideas, and hit up Hobby Lobby, Michael's or any stores like that, they usually have people that make up arrangements, and they could help you also. Never heard of a McCartney rose. Congrats by the way!
Reply:If you want tulips then you should get them I dont think you should have a problem getting them. I also recoment roses. They have different colors. congratualtions!
Reply:You can *usually* get any type of flower from an upper end florist. You will pay a premium for the tulips in fall though. They will have to import them. For a specific variety of rose I would think you would need to go to a high end florists who deals with specialty flowers. When I asked my florist for a specific rose variety they gave me the run around. They ended up dying white roses to the shade I wanted from the sterling rose and all was well!
Reply:pink lillies? or Gerberas? they7 both good!

You could also use silk in your bridesmaids, and grooms men, and family members. and use fresh in your arrangement. Some good silks look as good as fresh. Your florist may even be able to help you there. Or check out books at the library for ideas, and hit up Hobby Lobby, Michael's or any stores like that, they usually have people that make up arrangements, and they could help you also. Never heard of a McCartney rose. Congrats by the way!
Reply:If you want tulips then you should get them I dont think you should have a problem getting them. I also recoment roses. They have different colors. congratualtions!
Reply:You can *usually* get any type of flower from an upper end florist. You will pay a premium for the tulips in fall though. They will have to import them. For a specific variety of rose I would think you would need to go to a high end florists who deals with specialty flowers. When I asked my florist for a specific rose variety they gave me the run around. They ended up dying white roses to the shade I wanted from the sterling rose and all was well!
Reply:pink lillies? or Gerberas? they7 both good!
Does anyone know a baker, disc jockey, and a florist in the Lexington KY area?
I'm planning my wedding and I'm having a hard time finding good vendors for my wedding next summer. All of my friends and co-workers suggest people and companies that are outrageously priced. I need someone who will do a great job and not cost me an arm and a leg.
Does anyone know a baker, disc jockey, and a florist in the Lexington KY area?
I personally don't know of anything, but you can always try www.theknot.com . They have links to local vendors' webpages and stuff. You could also try places like www.theweddingchannel.com . And search yahoo for them. Hope this helps!!

Changing wedding colors and need serious help!!?
Hi all! I am needing some serious help! I originally had chosen my Sept. 1st wedding colors as navy and silver. Now that I am checking into florists I am starting to get a little worried. The flowers I wanted are super expensive! So I am wanting to change the flowers to gerbera daisies. I want to do lots of different colors of them which I think will be beautiful!
So, now I am going to change the bridesmaid dresses to a different color since the navy doesn't really match. I need to hurry because they are going to order them in 2 weeks.
What color do you think will look good with those flowers? This is my first planning of a wedding and it is getting very stressful!!!
Oh, also the girls all said they are good with any color other than orange or yellow! Thanks so much for any help!!
Changing wedding colors and need serious help!!?
Wow I understand where you are coming from!!
I saw this in a magazine and I don't remember which one but, anyways each of the bridesmaids are wearing a different color dress, same style but different colors. It looked so pretty with their bouquets of different colored flowers! And the grooms men wore black tuxes with black vests with the same color tie as the girl's dress they were standing with. It looked awsome! If I hadn't already gone so far with my colors I would have done this! best of luck with your choices!
Reply:I was in a wedding where we wore navy blue and carried bouquets that were mostly white, blue, and purple, and yellow, all of which matched the navy. Navys kind of neutral, it matched anything. Varied coloured flowers with navy sounds very chic and pretty. I wouldn't change the colors.
Reply:Red would be a perfect color if you're going to use warmer, brighter colors of gerberas. I'd suggest going to red and gold instead of the blue and silver.

You could also go with black.

Although, you could keep the navy and use pastel colors of the gerbera daisies and keep the silver color.

Reply:I would change the flowers not the gowns. You should have the wedding colors that you want. Gerbera daisies come a a gazillion colors so I would think you would be able to find a color to go with navy. Alstroemerias are really inexpensive and would look fabulous with navy.
Reply:Gerberas are beautiful flowers, very funky looking I think. And I think navy would still look beautiful against the multi-coloured flowers, take a sample of navy material with you and hold it against the flower heads. Otherwise I would go natural and stick to cream colours.
Reply:I'm also doing gerberas! My girls' dresses are wine color from Davids Bridal %26amp; my flower colors are golden yellow, a deeper orange %26amp; burgundy. Wine is a beautiful color %26amp; goes perfect with the gerbs! Good Luck.
Reply:I would stick with Navy, my friend did this with gerbera daisies and it was really pretty. Get a swatch of the navy and take it to your florist.... she should lay out the flowers for you to see on the swatch.
Reply:check out torquoise...
beautiful and looks so good with gerber daisies!!
good dresses and looks so pretty with daisies.
Reply:i used gerbers as my main flower in my wedding. it was beautiful and fun. i used pink, yellow, and orange daisies for all the girls bouquets. the junior bridesmaid wore a soft purple dress, and the bridesmaids wore a soft pink dress. everyone loved it!
only advice with the gerbers though - don't use them on the guy's tuxes because it looks like a clown. i went with roses for those.
i know the girls said no orange or yellow, but in a soft shade they would be just fine. don't go with bright dresses.
you could still stick with navy and silver dresses too, but you would have to do a lot of white daisies.
best wishes!
Reply:Maybe you could put the girls in a silver or platinum gown to stick with your original colors. Or you could do champagne or black.
Reply:I think the navy would still be a good choice. The pop of the color with the flowers would compliment it well. It doesn't really look good when you have a bright color dress with a bright color flower.
Reply:Ok well I do agree red would work but davids bridal offers a color called something coral its beautiful.
You could do a light blue?
Creamy color.
Kind of depends on what colors are in the bouquet

Will florists deliver flowers to both the church and the reception site on your wedding day?? help!!?
They definitely should. Ask them when they plan to deliver them as well, so that you can tell both places when to expect the delivery, so that there is someone there to accept them and get them set up. You don't want the florist standing outside of your reception hall with your beautiful flowers wilting beause there wasn't anyone there to open the building/room up!
Will florists deliver flowers to both the church and the reception site on your wedding day?? help!!?
Depends on your city and the florist.
For our wedding, everything was delivered to my mom's home, then we had family members take the flowers. The arrangements for the church had to later be transported to the reception site anyway.
Reply:Yes, i'm sure it will cost you more though. Money always talks.
Reply:A good florist will deliver to both sites. So do some shopping around.
Reply:Yes they will, of course there IS a charge. Just another thing you have to pay for, for the big day. Unless you could have someone do the running for you, a friend perhaps. Your florist may do a better job though. Congrats!
Reply:A good one will. Be sure to ask your florist though to make absolute certain that will happen.
Reply:Yes, florists will deliver flowers to both the Church and the reception site on your wedding day. There is usually a delivery charge for both destinations. In my case my wedding and reception are at the same location...
Best of Luck
Reply:A good one will!!!
Reply:most will, some won't so it's best to check with them (e.g. some won't deliver on Sundays). You can always get a friend to go and pick them up if they don't deliver.
Reply:Yes that is part of their job. They don't (and shouldn't) charge extra for delivery unless it is alot of driving for them (a long distance between their shop and each of the venues). If you have any issues or concerns, you need to speak directly with the florist since no one else can answer for them.
Reply:They should! Mine is delivering to my house(bouquets) the church and the reception
Reply:Sure they will. They'll charge you extra fees, but they'll do anything you want, and take anything anywhere, for the right amount of $$. Make certain all delivery locations and times are noted in the contract you sign with the florist. Also, make certain everyone is in agreement on the charges for deliveries to multiple locations.

What does a Charlotte red rose look like? How does it compare to other red roses?
We are planning a wedding and the florist will like to use Charlotte red roses. We want high quality roses -- something better than the roses at the corner grocery.
What does a Charlotte red rose look like? How does it compare to other red roses?
The Charlotte red rose blooms to a fully open, large head making it an ideal choice for wedding bouquets, flower arrangements and table centerpieces.

How to fix flowers in hair for wedding?
I am interested in wearing a fresh flower or flowers in my hair for a wedding (instead of the veil thing), but how do you get them to stay put? Do florists do flower hair pieces?
How to fix flowers in hair for wedding?
Flowers is the hair may be worn several ways.
If the flowers are to be scattered in your hair, I would talk to your hair stylist. Based on what you plan to do with your hair would determine what type of flower or how many you will want in your hair. If you want a wreath, crown, or mini corsage, again, first determine how you are wearing your hair. The florist could attach the flowers to a comb that your hair stylist could put in your hair. The flowers could then be secured by bobby pins.
I would decide how I am wearing my hair first. Then you need to work with both florist and stylist.
I also suggest if you plan on an orchid, or gardenia, or another type flower, and your day will be long from first pictures to evening reception, you might want to order two,
one may be wilted or trashed by all the hugging. You will be able to freshen your look before your reception.
Congrats
Reply:yes most florists do ,do hairpieces. they normally have a book with different designs go to a florist that can be creative.
or do you know anyone that's good at flower arranging maybe they could help you out flowers could go on a hair comb or headband( the clear plastic ones) be happy have a great wedding
Reply:my hairstylist just pinned them in with bobby pins. i'm sure your stylist knows how to do it.
Reply:some florist can put ur floweres in ur head gear but my ex wife put her's in with bobby pins when we got married
Reply:curl the hair so it is wavey and then put a flower behind the ear.
Reply:I will try to send a link to you with a picture...but a friend of mine just did this. She had the hair stylist do it for her. Her colors were black, white, red, and gold (the wedding was right around Christmas), so she had them put red roses in her hair. She had a bun in the back with pieces of hair rotating with flowers in between. It looked really pretty!

Contracts wedding planners would need.?
Anyone know where I can find different contracts that I can use as a wedding planner? As a planner new to the business, I'm finding that some vendors don't have contracts and are looking to me to provide them with one. I would write one myself but i don't want anything left out or any mistakes to be made causing issues. I need sample contracts for caterers, bakers, florists, wedding sites, photographers and anything else that would need to be contracted.
Also, anyone know where I can find sample budget worksheets for events and weddings? I'd also like to find a worksheet of some sort to help me figure out floor plans for receptions.
Really I'm looking for any kinds of contracts and worksheets I'd need to help my couples out and make sure they understand where the money is going and what is happening with their weddings.
Contracts wedding planners would need.?
Hi there, I am not a wedding planner but as you can see a Bride! I would suggest that you contact your local bridal association they might be able to send you in the right direction and you could check those books they give out to Brides at the Bridal shows I have one it is put out by

I hope they can help you, the wedding planning book is wounderful and you would get great use from it as it doubles as contracts on the pages for the vendors. or it least it says it does and there is a place for the vendor to sign. Good Luck on your venture!

How can i start my own business doing wedding preparations for second weddings?
I would like to book florists, create centerpieces, arrange receptions, photographer, videographer, cake, colors, etc
How can i start my own business doing wedding preparations for second weddings?
Create a website.
Then make and distribute business cards.
Get your name put in a phone book/yellowpages.
Reply:The same as you would start any business, but if you are marketing to a specific niche you will likely gain a reputation faster as a specialist. Just make sure you do all of your homework and know all of the differences between first and second weddings (forgive me if that is too obvious).
Reply:Get some experience first. Either work with a wedding planner or event planner. Meet some people who will give you some exposure. Either putting your card out or giving your contact info. But the best exposure is word of mouth.
After you have a bit of experience and a portfolio, get a business license. Then create marketing (business cards, website, yellow pages). But it has to be legal first.
Also you'll have a bit of knowledge as for what florists you want to recommend. Part of hiring a wedding planner instead of doing it yourself is you have someone who knows what photographers show up and do a good job. Knows some florists who will get the job done. So that you won't end up with a flake who ends up being sued by the bride. Well right now you don't know that any more than a bride does.
Don't limit yourself to just second weddings though. No need for that.

Has anyone recently hired a DJ or Florist in Atlanta, GA?
I'm looking for both a DJ and a Florist for a March wedding in Atlanta. I live out of GA now and I've been on several sites and each vendor seems pretty much the same to me, so any recommendations would be great! Thanks.
Has anyone recently hired a DJ or Florist in Atlanta, GA?
I hired a hubby/wife team from ATL area. Wife does wonderful photography and husband is a very professional DJ. I was obviously from a different background %26amp; was worried about the music, but he had extensive experience in lots of genres and had access to about anything you could request, plus he offers lighting and extras for whatever kind of mood you want to set. Very, very professional. Chris %26amp; Terrilynn Bayne. www.orpheusandaphrodite.com

Why dont you go to one of the florists in a large town near you if they want your custom they will only be too pleased to spend time with you and discuss options. I would say an independant rather than one of the larger chains would be better.

White roses are classic and always modern.
Try a combination of these with natural green sage and some wild flowers! My was just like that and only cost $40US. because the dahlias were in season.
Hope this helps, and I wish you a wonderful wedding

Reply:I had all white tulips and had my girls carry a mix of colored ones...beautiful, but they begin to open if they aren't in water, so try to find some water between the ceremony and reception. Also, calla lillies are "whats in" currently. Hydrangea is pretty...and if you want cheap, you only need a few to create a really full boquet. Orchids are the other one I'd suggest...they come in all kinds of colors and can be mixed and matched with a lot of different flowers. :)

are very nice flowers. and if you mix some you can get really pretty things.
Reply:For something stunning go for Bird of Paradise or for something romantic go for Canterbury Bells.
Reply:Dahlias are a great modern flower. Also those little white flowers that are pronounced (but not spelled) STEF-an-otis, these look great with little pearls in them!
White roses are classic and always modern.
Try a combination of these with natural green sage and some wild flowers! My was just like that and only cost $40US. because the dahlias were in season.
Hope this helps, and I wish you a wonderful wedding

Reply:l am going to have a bunch of white hydrangeas with a nice butterfly brooch included in the bouquet, plus lots of ivory and gold chiffon ribbons, modern and different.
Reply:I like calla lilies a LOT lol. They will be the dominant flower in my bouquet with roses to accent. The white ones are the most traditionally used ones in bouquets but the colored callas are so gorgeous.

Reply:Lilly's are beautiful and i think really modern, better then roses etc. Just be sure to have the pollen cut off becuase it stains! lol
Reply:I had all white tulips and had my girls carry a mix of colored ones...beautiful, but they begin to open if they aren't in water, so try to find some water between the ceremony and reception. Also, calla lillies are "whats in" currently. Hydrangea is pretty...and if you want cheap, you only need a few to create a really full boquet. Orchids are the other one I'd suggest...they come in all kinds of colors and can be mixed and matched with a lot of different flowers. :)
Reply:First pick a color- then decide the rest from there
Can anyone recommend a good florist?
I am from Windsor, ON and need a florist for my june ,2008 wedding. i have no idea where to start looking. and i don't want to chose randomly from the yellow pages. please help.
Can anyone recommend a good florist?
use a local wedding guide or try theknot.com and search for your area. I'd suggest meeting with at least 3, have an idea of what you want going in and see what creativity they offer. Compare prices and options before choosing...forget the yellow pages, use the internet! It's 2007...do they still print yellow pages books???
Reply:Call your BBB (Better Business Bureau) %26amp; ask them. They should be able to help you.
Reply:usually flowerama is a good place but if theres not around by you than just use your local flower store. they usually do a pretty good job.

Looking for pix of wedding bouquets w. chrysanthemums or hydrangeas?
I am meeting with my florist next week to discuss wedding flowers and bouquets. I am looking online for pictures of bridal and wedding party bouquets made with either chrysanthemums or hydrangeas. The wedding colours are apple green, cream, and chocolate brown. I really like the look of green cyrysanthemums!
If you have an idea where I can find a picture of that type pf bouquet so I can show the florist, please give me the link, I'd really appreciate it!!!

What should I do to be really for the florist?
It's 5 months til my wedding and we just disided to go with fresh flowers, our budget is low but everyone keeps saying you have to take care of this now. I'm clueless here, what should I ask the florist what should I have with me? how should I pick the right one? All I even know for sure that I want is for each bridesmaid to have a single flower with ribben other then that 'or even want kind of flower' i'm lost! help please?
What should I do to be really for the florist?
First off, you need to have a list of how many bouquets, boutineers, corsages, pew markers, centerpeices, and that sort of thing you will need. Its ok to not know exactly what you want for those things, but you at least need to know how many of them! Figure out what colors you want your flowers to be, if you don't have an idea of what actual flowers you want. Look around and figure out what you DON'T like, for instance if you hate baby's breath or calla lillies or something of that nature, you can tell your florist this....its at least a starting point. Look around online and see if you can find some pictures of some bouquets or arrangements you like. The best thing I can tell you is be open minded. I am a free-lance florist myself, It's kinda my weekend job, and I have been at it for years..... and when a bride comes to me and thinks she has it all figured out, down to the exact number of flowers I can put in things, they ussually end up disapointed. Florists are creative people. If you can give them a general idea, and a few definet do's and don'ts, maybe a picture or 2- things end up being a lot prettier. I have a lot of tricks up my sleeve that can make your flowers look wonderful if the bride will just let me!
as far as picking the florist, ask around your area, and go to a couple and talk with them, get some prices, look at their work, see if its what you like. Ask them things like will delivery be included, or will you have to come pick them up that day. Some may be willing to go to your site with you and help you decide how to decorate (I do, others won't just depends) Ask them how may weddings they have done, and will their be any other weddings they will be doing at the same time as yours (when I actually worked as a florist, sometimes we would take on several and I would end up fried and my work would suffer.) If they seem to be railroading you into something they want, not what you want, then don't stand for it...this is your day, and a lot of them will think they know your day better then you do, and thats not fair and you should move on. Good luck to you, I'm including a link to sites with wedding bouquets and arrangements, I hope it will help! Let me know if you have any questions!
Reply:First you should remember is try not to look clueless and do a little research before going there. There are sites with wedding bouquets and decorations, just google it and you will get color %26amp; flower ideas. So, check it out a little bit and then visit two florists (I think more will be confusing ). You may even print out the bouquet/decoration you liked and ask how much it will cost you. You could even tell them your budget.
Some weddings have church/town hall and reception room decoration, two brides bouquets (a simple one to throw %26amp; one to keep), flowers for the bridesmaids, rose petals for the flower girls etc You don't have to have all those just decide before going to the florist because once you go clueless they will present everything as essential to have.
Another even greater idea would be to ask a friend to help you with the research/ideas.
Good luck with all the preperations just try to enjoy them!
Reply:Ask to see their books. All good florists have photo books not only of what they can do, but of weddings they have actually done the flowers for. Make a list of all the people who need flowers (bridesmaids, groomsmen, MOB, MOG, grandmothers, etc.) and of any flowers you want for the church. Talk to the florist about your ideas and budget and see what they suggest. A single flower for the bridesmaids could be a calla lily, a gerbera daisy (which may even match or compliment the color well), a rose, or something else that meets budget and taste. Get a quote in writing and shop around. After you talk to several florists you will have a better idea of who you like.
Reply:Well Roses and Daisies are the cheapest flowers cause they're always in season.
Orchids and Lillies are normally more money since they're exhotic!
Ask your florist where they get their flowers from,and if they come to site and deliver. They also charge for other materials they use like wire and styrofoam so make sure they dont overcharge there!
Some florists will over-charge dependiong on what kind of car they see you drive up in and what your engagment ring looks like too! I know it sounds bad but it does happen.
...Take somebody with you when you go to your appointments so they can tell you if youre being ripped off!
Reply:Relax. See as many as you possibly can decide on colour and flowers and then ask the florist if she has any ideas for you. She'll have loads of pics or you to choose from

How much do Florist(s) usually charge for the following package below. The lowest I've heard was $375, that seems so pricey, I might just make my own for the wedding. What do you think?
1 Bride bouquet
4 Bridesmaid bouquets
1 Groom boutonniere
4 Groomsmen boutonnieres
2 Mother Corsages
2 Father boutonnieres
Please advise, thanks.
How much do Florist(s) usually charge for the following below?
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.

Why when the word 'Wedding' is used, do things pertaining to the wedding cost more?
I mean, I've been told not to tell florists and caterers that it's for a wedding, that they automatically charge more. WHY?
Why when the word 'Wedding' is used, do things pertaining to the wedding cost more?
because people are greedy..they figure if it's for a wedding the bride will not mind paying for the best..it's a TOTAL rip off...
Reply:I've been working for a caterer for almost 4 years. The same event (menu, venue, count) will be literally four times as time consuming to plan, book and execute with a bride versus a corporate client. It isn't a matter of upselling, it's a matter of practicality. Report It
Reply:They;re playing on emotions, nothings to good for my little girl or anything my honey wants.
Reply:Wedding have become commercial. They figure you want it to go off perfectly no matter the cost so they can get away with ripping you off.

What kind of flower arrangements do I need for my wedding?
I'm getting married in May and have an appointment with my florist next week. She wants me to have an idea of what I want for arrangements and such, but I'm not quite sure what I need, other than the obvious boquets and boutineers. How many arrangements are typical? I'm just not sure where to start because I've never been one to pay attention to those type of things!
What kind of flower arrangements do I need for my wedding?
Everyone is giving you good advice, you need to know who gets flowers, as well as start thinking of where you want flowers (don't forget your cake). As equally important though is to know what kind of flowers you DO NOT want. Even if you don't have anything definite in mind of what you do want. It's all a matter of taste - I told my florist if I say a daisy or carnation she was doing them all over again! - but that's just me, you may think differently and that's alright. Go to Google Images and search for wedding flowers and you'll have tons of ideas you can print out to take with you of both things you like and dislike.
Good Luck!
Reply:Hi. Don't worry....that is their business! They are willing to work with you. I think what she means is...perhaps cut out and bring in some pictures of bouquets that you like either from the computer or from a bridal magazine. Look through things and get an idea. Also, she will want to know your colors, etc. They will ask you all that at the meeting.
Go in with some ideas as far as pictures and what you want to spend. Then they will give you a quote and you can go from there! It all depends on what you want to spend. How many corsages/boutonnieres you need, etc. Don't worry about that now....they have a form and will ask you all those questions at the meeting. For my son's wedding, I went with my daughter-in-law and we had a couple meetings with the florist and also a few phone calls and emails changing and adding.
Good luck!
Reply:You can have as many or as few flower arrangements as you like and can afford. The bouquets are a popular choice and then button hole flowers for the guys and flowers for the Mother of the Bride and Mother of the Groom can be matched. You can have flowers in the church or down the aisle of where the ceremony is to be held. Those same flowers can be relocated to the reception location to save money. Personally we only had bouquets and button holes and flowers for the Mums. They look terrific in photos. I didn't have any other arrangements. My tastes are simple. Hope things go terrifically well for your wedding day and married life together. All the best.
Reply:You and each of your bridesmaids needs a boquet. All the groomsmen need a boutineer. It is nice to give the fathers of the bride and groom one too, and give the mothers a corsage. Then you will need to consider if you want flowers for decor during the ceremony on the aisles or at the altar. And most people use flowers for centerpieces, so how ever many tables your reception will have.
Reply:You will obviously need the boquets for you and all of your girls in the wedding and boutineers for all of the men. The mothers of both the bride and groom should have either a flowers to pin on their dress (slightly different from the style of the men) or they should have flowers on their wrist (corsage) The fathers of the bride and groom should also have a boutineer. You may want to think about having a smaller version of your boquet to throw at your reception so you may save yours to preserve if you choose.
Reply:First off where are you having the wedding?..in a church, outside? Next, consider the time of year. Ask what flowers will be in season (will help cut costs) The other thing is that you need to know your color scheme. When I picked out flowers, my florists was SO helpful. She showed me books of flowers...colors, styles, arrangements. Make sure your florist is happy to be of help to you. She/He should be willing to take the time to help you. This is a huge decision and not one that we make everyday! Keep in mind where you want flowers...guest signing table, reception tables, cake table...ect. Good luck and congratulations!!
Reply:my florist walked me through everything...I had NO idea what I wanted and left feeling very confident and excited with my decision...you will need the bouquets (remember if you are doing a toss to have them do a "fake" one too), boutineers, coursages for the mothers, pedals for the flower girls, (my florist is doing a head thing for the flower girls), flowers for the cake table...centerpieces...and any things that you will want to decorate...some people also do florals for the aisle.

Reply:You can have as many or as few flower arrangements as you like and can afford. The bouquets are a popular choice and then button hole flowers for the guys and flowers for the Mother of the Bride and Mother of the Groom can be matched. You can have flowers in the church or down the aisle of where the ceremony is to be held. Those same flowers can be relocated to the reception location to save money. Personally we only had bouquets and button holes and flowers for the Mums. They look terrific in photos. I didn't have any other arrangements. My tastes are simple. Hope things go terrifically well for your wedding day and married life together. All the best.
Reply:You and each of your bridesmaids needs a boquet. All the groomsmen need a boutineer. It is nice to give the fathers of the bride and groom one too, and give the mothers a corsage. Then you will need to consider if you want flowers for decor during the ceremony on the aisles or at the altar. And most people use flowers for centerpieces, so how ever many tables your reception will have.
Reply:You will obviously need the boquets for you and all of your girls in the wedding and boutineers for all of the men. The mothers of both the bride and groom should have either a flowers to pin on their dress (slightly different from the style of the men) or they should have flowers on their wrist (corsage) The fathers of the bride and groom should also have a boutineer. You may want to think about having a smaller version of your boquet to throw at your reception so you may save yours to preserve if you choose.
Reply:First off where are you having the wedding?..in a church, outside? Next, consider the time of year. Ask what flowers will be in season (will help cut costs) The other thing is that you need to know your color scheme. When I picked out flowers, my florists was SO helpful. She showed me books of flowers...colors, styles, arrangements. Make sure your florist is happy to be of help to you. She/He should be willing to take the time to help you. This is a huge decision and not one that we make everyday! Keep in mind where you want flowers...guest signing table, reception tables, cake table...ect. Good luck and congratulations!!
Reply:my florist walked me through everything...I had NO idea what I wanted and left feeling very confident and excited with my decision...you will need the bouquets (remember if you are doing a toss to have them do a "fake" one too), boutineers, coursages for the mothers, pedals for the flower girls, (my florist is doing a head thing for the flower girls), flowers for the cake table...centerpieces...and any things that you will want to decorate...some people also do florals for the aisle.
I have wedding this coming May. I'm not totally familiar as to what flowers and/or arrangements to look at?
I don't want to get screwed by some florist suggesting flowers for every single decoration. I don't have a big budget at all.
I have wedding this coming May. I'm not totally familiar as to what flowers and/or arrangements to look at?
You can do as little or as much as you wish. I was on a budget and my bridesmaids carried one long stem rose. I have also worked 4 years as a florist and you have the say in what you want. You won't be screwed, they want to help and will work with you no matter your budget.
Reply:Do contact a few florists or look on-line to see what flowers are in season. This helps to keep costs down. If there is a Farmer's Market in your area start going a few months before your wedding . Find a vendor you like. In our area there are a lot of flower peddlers that have beautiful bouquets for about $8.00 %26amp; that is for the most extravagant flowers and they are already arranged. Buy some vases check out the dollar store and less expensive stores like Target. Just keep in mind that this is something that will be thrown away or given to your guests to enjoy or perhaps given to a nursing home.
Reply:Your best bet is to tell three florists your budget and ask them what they can do for you. Once you pick your flower homey, then just sit back and trust them. You have enough to worry about....
Reply:hi, since you said that you dont have that big budget for your wedding i can suggest that you can go to dangwa or visit divisoria so you can have an idea. good luck to your wedding
Reply:what colors are in your wedding, i would just try to go with them and you dont need the florist to tell you what you need, just pick what you like and then you can decide how you want then arranged, i just took petals of each flower color and plavced them on my tables at the reception and it only cost me 50 for the flowers for the reception so do fret. AND CONGRATS
Reply:Go to your local florists and ask them to let you look at their wedding books. You can find arrangements that you like and then do them in your wedding colors. It is fun to look through the books and you will get lots of ideas.
Reply:Roses and orchids are expensive, carnations and daisies usually aren't. Keep it all simple, if it's a church wedding, you'll need something for the alter, but usually you can transfer those flowers to your reception site, if you like.....
Check into silk flowers too, you may know someone that can do your flowers up for you, buying flowers from a hobby store or a discount store.....
and Congrats on your upcoming wedding....
Reply:Ok this is just my opinion, but I have always thought lilies were more tasteful for a wedding than roses. They are less common and look very nice in an arrangement. See what your budget can afford, when all is said and done, any flower looks nice when they are neatly and tastefully done. Good luck!
Reply:It is your wedding and YOU decide what YOU like.
Reply:ive heard (other than vday) roses are the least expensive for weddings. i can't say for sure, i meet with my 1st florist tomorrow. i'm going to at least 3, and i would recommend that. one being a grocey store. my friend had her flowers done at a grocery store, and they were SO beautiful and the price was good. you need some ceremony arrangements- maybe 2. flowers for you and attendants, parents, ushers, people who do readings. you don't need flowers on your cake table (some people have a flowers arch). you don't NEED flowers on pews, you can use bows! some churches already have these. also, daises are inexpensive and pretty. you don't nee flowers for centerpieces at reception, either, there are plenty of less expensive alternatives. p.s. if you know someone who can arrange flowers, you can buy 100 stems of roses from costco for like $85!!
Reply:im not sure where you are but im from sydney australia and i paid $990.00 for my flowers.
i have a large bouquet of white lillies and red roses and my maid of honour and 2 bridesmaids had small bouquets made up of red and white roses. (their dresses were red).
i also received a tiny basket of red and white roses for the flower girl to hold as well as a hair piece made up of the same roses to go around her hair.
i got 6 botton hole flower things (forgot what they are called!!!) for my hubby, best man and 2 grooms men, the page boy and my fater inlaw and a corsage for my mum.
they also had 3 HUGE flower displays at the church and a flower arrangement on every second pew of the church along the aisle.
i thought all that was pretty cheap!!!!!
the reception place looked after the table arragements which was included in their costs.
hope that helped!!!!
Reply:I always buy flowers from Costco (if you have a membership)- you can get 2 dozen roses for $14. They also have wedding packages available online that can be ordered for your special day. Quite affordable and good quality in my opinion. Check these packages out. Good Luck!

What are some rare and expensive orchids?
I don't have a lot of experience with orchids but do have a lot of experience with landscaping and gardening and was thinknig of starting to grow orchids as a hobby with hopes of maybe having a small side business selling them to florists, wedding planners, restaurants for decor and things like that. What are the most rare or sought after or most expensive orchid or hibiscus plants I could get seeds for and grow?

Bride to Be's...what measures are you taking to prepare yourself for your wedding? As in to your physical self
Are you losing weight...having chemical peels....drinking more water...teeth whitening?? What are you doing? My wedding is in Sept. and I am doing NOTHING so far....shame on me. I need to start preparing myself...but I am my own wedding planner and florists...so its hard to do it all. What tips do you have? TIA and CONgratS!!
Bride to Be's...what measures are you taking to prepare yourself for your wedding? As in to your physical self
I am drinking more water as it helps to prevent break outs which many get from the extra stress, Doing teeth whitening and toning up but thats about it, My fiancee and I were watching a wedding show on tv and the girl had so much done to herself she didn't even look like her and he made a comment about that he loves me! And does NOT under any circumstances want me to look like a barbie on our wedding day., Which I loved =)
Reply:I'm not going to extremes, but I am tanning because we'll be marrying in the Caribbean, and I don't want tan lines. Other than that, I'll just have my typical mani/pedicure.
Reply:Sept you have plenty of time.
Reply:I'm only 2 months from my wedding and I haven't started preparing myself either! I have no time! I am planning on doing some tanning because I am just really pale. I'm also going to try whitening strips and see how that goes.
Reply:RUN !!!!!! DON'T DO IT!!!!!
Reply:I'm not doing much, as I want to look like "me" that day, not a barbie doll version of myself. I'm going to the gym once a week to tone up, not lose weight. I'm going to get my teeth whitened, but I've wanted that for years. I'm also going to go tanning, but strictly because we're going to Mexico and I dont' want to be neon white when I get there. I'll be getting my nails done the day before, and that's about it.
Reply:my wedding is in may and i have'nt done nothing to prepare my slef. i do want to get my teeth whiten. but like you i am doing all my own planning so i am busy all the time LOL. well congrats and good luck
Reply:I joined weight watchers, I don't want to lose a million pounds, but I could stand to lose a few to feel comfortable wearing all white in front of 200 people. I lost 7.5 pounds my first week (I am only on week 2) and it's SO easy. Plus it teaches you how to eat healthy and in moderation, not just some crazy fad diet.
Oh, white strips work quite well if you use them right :)
Reply:UM YEAH IM TRYING TO LOSE WEIGHT SINCE I GOT ENGAGED ALMOST AND IVE LOST ABOUT 30 DAYS. YA I AINT GOING TO DIET. IM A BIGGER GIRL AND THATS HOW I AM AND HOW MY FIANCE LOVES ME. AS FOR WHITENING MY TEETH, YES IM GOING TO DO THAT IN MAY
Reply:I hear you. It's a lot. I continued my work out routine. I went to a day spa the day before for a mani and pedi. I had my hair done the day of the wedding. I picked up my gown, shoes, accessories, etc. a week before the wedding. I bought another dress to change into if my wedding gown got to be too cumbersome. (It didn't. I kept my wedding gown on the whole afternoon/night.) I did my own make up. I did change my face cleaning routine. I saw an article in Marie Claire that offered great advice. I started that about 6 weeks before the wedding. I got great results from the advice.
Amanda Nicole: You should be going to the gym 3 to 4 times a week to maintain/tone up. You won't see much results from once a week. It's not good for your health either. Go more often.

Reply:Perhaps you're not clear on what the word "wholesale" means. When you buy (for example) enough toilet paper for over 5 years of personal use, you show the wholesaler your merchant license, which is document proof that you intend to resell the items you had bought, with a markup to reflect storage cost, administration, and a reasonable profit margin. Your merchant's license entitles you not to be charged sales tax. If you're not buying a huge quantity, and don't hold a merchant retailer's license, you don't qualify for wholesale prices. If you have a Costco membership store in your area, and apply for wholesaler discount, they're going to ask you to produce your business license, which is document proof you intend to use your purchases, either for resale to the general consumer, or to replenish your business raw materials consumables. If you want flowers for a one-time wedding event, you don't qualify for a wholesale discount. Oh sure, some retailers claim they're giving you a wholesale deal, but they're just using the word "wholesale" as a marketing ploy. "Wholesale" means to buy a HUGE quantity, for either resale to the general public, or to replenish your business operations' raw-material consumables.
Reply:A true "wholesaler" will not sell to anyone without a retail license. Anyone who advertises "wholesale to the public" is lying.

Any florists and wedding dress shops out there?
I am at the moment thinking ideas but would any of you be kean to recommend a handmade stationery supplier for weddings if there was a introducer's fee available and the other way around?
Any florists and wedding dress shops out there?
Some advice. I see you have learnt to spell stationery, but please check your other spelling. Sorry to tell you, but it really is that bad. I have looked at all your questions. If you want to start a business, it's not a good start if your spelling, or grammar is bad.
Reply:I suggest visiting online website such as
http://www.weddinglenox.com ,weddingvendors.com ,onewed.com
Unlike most yellow pages, they have price comparison for the vendors (DJ,videographer, florist, and photographer) you can choose.
You can also try Weddinglenox matching system http://www.weddinglenox.com/membersignup... that will match you up with local vendors. I tried it and have good result as I only recieved email from vendors according to my request.
One problem I had with my wedding is that it is hard to locate vendors in most website as most likely they group by states and there are too many of them that's too far from me and I have to look at each site to figure out.
The sites I provide above have a easy to use layout to show you pictures, pricing and location in one page plus, you can send out your inquiry for matching vendor to contact you. That save me lots of time to locate the best vendors with the right price.
