i really want fresh flowers. i went to a florist yesterday and the quote came in at just under 1k my jaw hit the floor does everybody else think this is stupid? x x
CommentAuthorMrs Hinch2B
oh my god thats crazy money! what on earth did you ask for? I used to work as a florist so can probably give you a fairly honest idea of how much it should cost xx

I think that quote is crazy. When I got quoted for real flowers they were:
Mine = roses with diamante grasses looped in and around with butterflies on them @ £70.00 Adult bridesmaid = to match mine £40.00 Child bouquet to match@£25.00 flower girl £15.00 2 corsages @ £7.50 each 5 button holes @ £4.95?
I got all of the above in foam roses for £109.00 and they look just as good as real yet will last me for years to come.

You cant beat the smell of real flowers but you never know what state they will be in on the big day, would be heart breaking for ur flowers to go limp. Silk flowers always look good, can re-use them, hand em down, sell em and so on. Me tho im ot having a bouquet, have been grilled for it by like everyone, but nope, im having a clutch bag with a horseshoe (not a real one) and two roses, sounds naff i know but looks stunning

I'm planning to make my own bouquet and my bridesmaids' and that's really all the flowers I want, am thinking of doing tight bunches of cream roses, stems wrapped in our wedding colours!

CommentAuthorMrsMac
Ive gone for silk, ordered them from a company in australia, absolutely fantastic, yellow cymbidium orchids, they are amazing!!! (postage cost the same as the flowers but heaps cheaper than real and you cant get what I wanted in november!!!)
CommentAuthorMrs Hinch2B
Hey Aldrige,
That's an awful lot of money hun, if I'm honest it sounds like she is spinning you a line! yeah fresh flowers are expensive but I'm sure what your asking for could be done for a much more reasonable cost. To save money for your table arrangements you could cut down on the number of flowers and opt for a few larger flowers for affect and fill out with foilage (as thats much cheaper). I would really suggest getting another quote hun as I'm sure they could be done for a much more reasonable price. Hope thats helps hun. Give me a shout if I can help further c x

I have got hayfever so im going to go with silk flowers, not sure what flowers yet but I want them to be red with diamontes in the centres and i cant decide wether i want a cascading or posy type... also I was thinking of maybe doing my own boquet but as they will be fake flowers i can have a few weeks to get it right x
