Hiya!

Last night I had the consultation with one of the possible florists for our bouquets (this is for artificial flowers). All flowers for the venue are supplied by their florist and I'm meeting her next week for a quote (for fresh!)

Can you let me know whether you think this quote is any good? I have no idea about how much it should cost but I think its a good deal!

The lady will be supplying our chair covers also (x80) - £120

Flower Total - £197

1 Bride Bouquet - £45
4 Bridesmaid Bouquets - £100 (£25 each)
2 Flower Girl Baskets (with Petals) - £10 (£5 each)
2 F.G Hairbands - £10 (£5 each)
5 Buttonholes - £15 (£3 each)
2 Corsages - £17 (£8.50 each)

And here's the pics

I think it's a pretty good deal :) x

That sounds like a good deal! Mine are coming to about the same from the bay. x

That seems a very good deal to me.

Thanks all for your comments! I think its a good deal and i love her work.. i'll let you know the fresh flower quote to compare. Meeting is next weds so shall let u no then! xx

I have not really looked into artificial flowers if I am honest but the prices she has quoted are very similar to the prices my florist is doing my fresh flowers for
I suppose it is personal choice but I love fresh flowers & the beautiful smells from the bouquets

Im having artificial flowers, but they are foam..very realistic looking, the lady Im getting to do mine is doing my big teardrop bridal bouquet, MOH's bouquet, 7 corsages,13 single button holes and 1 double buttonhole for £78 including postage.... she was reccommended by a few ladies on here, and after looking at her work decided to go for it xx

Tori im having different flowers etc but the prices are very similar
Large bouquet for me £50
Bridesmaids Gyp £20 each (£60 in total) will double up as top table flowers as they are only youngsters, wont want to carry flowers all day
Corsages £10 for MOH (she does not want bouquet) & MOB MOG
Button holes £3.50
Having fresh flowers for cake and the young BM's hair
Centre pieces are £6-£8 per table
Quote will obv need some tweaking here & there but total cost for all the flowers will be no more than £250

I was pleasantly surprised as my florist of choice is an independant shop but such an amazing florist.
We have used her for the last few years but I really thought she was going to charge much more.
She is our venues preferred florist too!

The one piece of advice I would give is take a mood board/photo's of the things/style/feel you like/want

I did this with our florist, I was a little concerned as I don't want the usual bridal flowers but I showed Lisa my ideas and she just got it straight away
Such a relief as another florist just ignored what I said and was pushing her ideas on me and trying to force me to be more stereotypical with my flowers & arrangements
