I hope you don`t mind me asking but approximately how much has everyone budgeted for flowers? I was thinking $2,000-$2,500 but am not sure if I`m being reasonable. It would include my bouquet, 2 mother`s corsage, 2 MOH, 4 bridesmaid, 2 jr. bridemaid, 12 pew arrangements 2 altar arrangements, about 10-15 centerpieces and maybe some cocktail table decorations. Any opinions?
I have 15 centerpieces also, my bouquet, 3 mothers corsages (one for grandmother)-although my mother now wants to just carry a flower, she doesnt like corsages, 1 MOH, 4 bridesmaids, throw away (which I might not have after all) and 8 bouteneers. We are spending $1500. Since you are doing the jr bm and the pew and alter items your price is probably about right based on my figures.... Hope this helps!
If you don`t mind me asking who are you using? And what kind of centerpieces are you having?
Thanks
I`m using my sister`s friend who has her own company. Check out bamboodesign.com She quoted me more than my budget however we`re still in the process of negotiating so you never know. I liked her because she gave me creative ideas for decorating instead of me telling her what I wanted. Other florists I`ve met with just asked me what I wanted and that was that. They didn`t really recommend or help with ideas. She`s very creative.
