I need some flower advice! Our wedding is in August this year, and I was planning on DIY-ing the bouquets and table decorations with silk flowers. This would then mean setting up the venue on the morning of the wedding, and I don't know if I could fit in time for that and not be stressed on the day! I was wondering what a normal price to pay for bridal bouquet, 5 bridesmaids bouquets, 6 buttonholes and 5 table centrepieces would be? I'm in the south West, and want lots of greenery (to keep costs down) and love blush dahlias too. Any advice or contacts would be greatly appreciated! Thanks :)
I am going to do the venue decoration myself but haven't decided what to do about bouquets and buttonholes as yet. Fortunately we are able to decorate the night before. :)
Have you checked ebay? They do loads of silk flower packages to match any colour scheme and they're quite cheap. My sister in law ordered hers from ebay and they looked gorgeous and natural.
sounds strange but hobby craft sell button holes and bouquets,also the range so,not sure what part of the southwest your from another good place to cut price would be st Philips flower market its open Monday to Friday that way you can pick what you wont. hope that helps. x
I've just bought my satin bouquet from ebay and its stunning! Less than £40 for mine and I've seen some satin small bouquets on Amazon for less than £10 for my bridesmaids. We also got our button holes from the same ebay seller as my bridal bouquet so we can be sure they match. There are a lot of sellers who offer this sort of service on ebay
Check out groovy Ruby artificial flowers. I'm considering getting my bouquet and buttonholes from them. They have a large selection and they are at an affordable price. Good luck! :-)
Ive paid £1500 for all my flowers including church reception and bridal party. I think bouquet was £160 buttonholes were £6 each bridesmaids were £45 each x3.
Try silk blooms. My friends bought theirs from there and they were lovely.
