How much did you gyus spend on your flowers? I am planning on having sunflowers as a basis for my bouquet and origionally wanted to do the same for the bms, but the girl who is doing them suggested yellow calla lilies for the bm bouquets. Either way for them I was just going to do several strung together and not a whole fancy bouquet. I just got the quote back today and it is way more than I was thinking on spending. I read somewhere that on average $698 is spent. What do you think?

We paid 1400 for our flowers. I thought it was going to be a lot more but it wasn't thankfully. We made our own centerpieces so that cut costs big time since we needed 21 of them.

LMAO! $680 for flowers?!!!! I don't know where that is the average. Kudos for people who can do that, but I spent around $1500 and gave the florist free reign to use whatever flowers that were in season as long as they coordinated w/ the iris colored BM dresses and as long as I had white mini calls and peonies in my bouquet. I thought we got a great price on the flowers. It seemed to be the average for what people were spending in the Boston area.

It's really going to depend on what kinds of flowers you use. Things that are in season are going to be cheaper. If it's off season or they have to fly them in, the price is going to go up exponentially.

I only spend $150... but they are silk, and I got them on sale at Michaels and am assembling the bouquets myself... call me crazy! We'll see how it turns out, my wedding is next month.

The amount people spend on flowers on average varies by a lot of different things:

-The area where they live
-The type of flower (based on availability, time of year, etc.)
-The size of the bouquet/centerpiece
-How many flowers total you'll be getting (some people fill the whole room with flowers while others just have a few)
-Silk or real

Generally speaking, Callas are going to be on the higher end of the spectrum price wise. Sunflowers will depend on how easily they can be obtained and from where.

Your best bet is to get another quote from a different florist and compare the two. Make sure it's a reputable shop so you're comparing apples to apples.

$680 sounds like quite a sum for some sunflowers.

Try a supermarket floral department -- and gerbera daisies would be nice for the BMs -- black eyed Susans are nice, too.

I personally think black eyed Susans are the most beautiful flower on earth.:)

I spent about $430 which included my bouquet, the MOH's bouquet, 3 boutonniers (sp?) for the men, 1 wrist corsage for my MIL, rose petals down the aisle, and a large arrangement for the altar. Since our wedding party was so small, the prices actually may've been high, but I was completely happy with the result. I also gave the florist fairly free rein; I told her the general colors I was looking for and specified that I wanted wildflower/garden-type varieties (nothing overly formal). She ended up using roses, peonies, star lilies, etc...all flowers that were in season for June.

Our reception venue was a restaurant with its' own unique decorations, so we didn't really need centerpieces. We just bought 3 dozen long-stemmed roses at the supermarket and had them arranged on the tables. That was an additional $60.

Well I guess I got away cheap! I am having the wedding and reception outdoors at my future in laws. Since they have huge gardens and great landscaping, I don't have to buy as many to decorate with. My total was $225 for 200 roses, of course those are in bulk and I still have to prep them myself, which I plan to do the day before the wedding.

Some people live in a dream world, some live in reality...
and some turn one into the other...
