I have went and got my first quote for flowers i was never really sure how much was a good price for wedding flowers (even though this is my 2nd time it was my parents who paid for everything so i didnt really know how much things cost!!). I went along to my local florist and this is what im getting:

Brides bouquet=75
3Bridesmaids bouquet3@45
5Buttonholes 4.00 each 20.00
2pedestals 2@75=150
1Top Table arrangement25
7 flower arrangement for guest tables (these will only be a 3-4 flowers with greenery and im supplying the vases)7x7tables=49
delivery charge to church and venue90 so in total its £544 plus 20% VAT brings it to £651

I realise that as i live in dundee things may be cheaper here than england which may be more expensive but the price i have been quoted is £651 as i forgot two important things these would still have to be added on but is this a good price so far or too expensive?

My Partner who volunteers in a florist says thats really high. She thinks that it would only be about £400 I would be going around and asking for more quotes.

Afraid I have no idea as to costs - but it wouldn't hurt to get other quotes to compare? Xx

Your bouquet is cheaper than mine. My bouquet is costing £130, but the bridesmaids ones were £20 each for me. but in the end I got flowers off the bay of e for £7 each :)

Samitrev2b- you paid 410 so how much was each bouquet and how much was the flowers for the church/registrar? same question to mrsshawtobe

is anyone else having flowers for the ceremony or is it just me going ott?

I've just found this after posting in your other thread.

I would say that's normal (well compared to my price anyway). Although delivery charge is a little shocking...we're getting free delivery and set up.

We're getting married at the venue so obviously don't need to transport the flowers.

l get the email up one tick xx

so do you not need ceremony flowers samitrev2b?

top table having my bouquet with 2 BMs on either side and the rest on the cake table with the additional roses inbetween the cupcakes xxx

sami having yours and bm bouquets for top table is a great idea, not going to be used again anyway so might as well make most of them x

Just seen your other thread - with the delivery I would say thats a good price x

My bouquet £60
Top table £80
Table decorations x4=£92
Button holes x8=£24
Corsages x2=£13
Pew ends x6=£84
Thank you bouquets x2=£40
Delivery & set up £25
All in at £418
I'm pretty happy with that as the lady who's doing it does massive bouquets and top table decorations and every1 says that it's very cheap that price xxxx

Flowers are really dear and I was shocked at how pricey they are and since i have myself, 6 bridesmaid and a flowergirl to cater for before thinkin about buttonholes its too much, I found a girl near me who does the most gorgeous foam bouquets and you wouldnt know they were fake and at a fraction of the cost so thats what im going for :) you should look into it x

hi jodie just a question are you getting married at the same place as ur reception? we have been charged £30 for florist to deliver to church, grooms house and my parents house she then charges another 60 to wait at ceremony to take flowers to reception (which is roughly 40 miles from church) also are you not having any flowers at your ceremony like pedestals?

hi jodie it just the two pedestals really that shes transporting to the venue im realy trying to cut costs

i would get someone else to take them or leave them? i was a waitress for functions mainly weddings for 4 years and have noticed that people dont pay too much attention to pedestals but they like the bouquets and table arrangements cause they're right in front of them for the meal but most of their focus is on you :) thats why i'm not having them ive been quite casual with them tbh i showed the florist what style i like and have left it to her to sort out the right types, colours etc

may be a bit cheeky but i'd say you have had a few quotes elsewhere but would rather book with her but as she can imagine budgets are a big deal with weddings and unless she can do it all for £423 without pedestals or £532 with and you'll transport yourself or can work out a better price than £60 (for example) then you'll have to book elsewhere

i got a couple of quotes before booking just to make sure the price i wanted to pay was possible lol xx

We're having a florist pedestal at the church which we're going to leave as a present, and ribbon pew ends - there are a group of flower arrangers at the church who will do the pulpit, 2 shelf arrangements and the porch and all they want is a donation of say £50 towards the flowers, just went to a marriage prep day on Saturday and found out there are 2 couples getting married the day before me, so we agreed to club together and ask for the flower arrangers, and between us it'll only cost us about 20 each - bargain!
