What amount is good to spend on flowers?

I got quoted 120 for my bouquet (Blue Hydrangea, white gerber daisies and white roses), 60 for maid of honor, 40 each for three bride's maids and we are getting 9 corsages, and 7 boutonnieres ....for a grand total of 424. That includes delivery. Is this a good deal?

Comparing it to how much my flowers are going to cost....yes it is. But make sure that these are really what you want and go for quality! You don't want any flowers that are going to start dropping half way down the aisle (ekkk!). Also another question to ask your florist is "when will the flowers be made/arranged?" The closer to your wedding date the better, because then you know your flowers will be fresh and will last longer.

But flower prices really depend where you live and in what season you are getting married. Just to be safe, I would ask for a couple more quotes. Then you can compare the quality v. price. Good luck!
Reply:If you buy the flowers and make them yourself, you will only have to pay 150-200 tops. Online Wholesale Flowers is awesome! Mine was 150, and I use lilies, white roses, and hydrangeas.



Plus, Micheals.com has an internet videa that shows you how to make the boquet. Super easy!
Reply:Depends on how much you would like to spend. If you are okay with the cost, then it is fairly reasonable. If you are on a tight budget, there are ways to get great flowers for a lot less. Costco does corsages for $5-$6 each. Safeway does boutonniere's for %26amp;10 each. If you dont want to spend that much on the girls boquets how about getting them to carry a single flower of your choice. Calalilly, rose, etc. you can get at around $5 each and tie a matching wedding color ribbon around it. The price of your boquet is fair but again if you want to go cheaper you can go to a craft store like Michaels (if your okay with not having real flowers) and have them custom make one for you for less. Its really up to you.
Reply:It depends on your budget on flowers. Have you considered using silk flowers instead? It lasts longer. Not unless you're wanted to preserve them. Best wishes on your day!
Reply:The amount does not matter as long you are happy with it. Specially if it will be used in a very memorable occasion.



Best wishes.
