How much is a reasonable amount to budget for my bouquet, 3x bridesmaids, a couple of pew ends and around 10 button holes? Can't seem to find pricelists on any websites...please help!
CommentAuthorMrs (Dove) Pidgeon
Depends what sort of flowers you want. Firstly real or artificial? Both have there advantages and disadvantages. Then you need to look at what style, what colour, what flower etc. Prices will also depend on the time of year and where you are in the country.
My prices so far... Brides handtied bouquet including sunflowers- est £65 Bridesmaids handtied- est £30-£40 Buttonholes- est £3-£4

Thank you...will have real flowers,colour, not too sure, either white/purple/mixed. As for style, hoping mine is in an upside down teardrop shape. Getting married end of April in Nottinghamshire, just can't seem to get quotes though.

I'm having the same problem babe, i want mine, two bms and about 6 button holes. Can't find anything online price wise, so i've got pictures of what i want (a bit from this and a bit from that) and i'm just gonna go in to about four florists near me, tell them what i want and get a quote from each. Then go from there. I'm hoping no more the £100 maybe £150. If you find anything online let me know. Good luck.

You might be better to visit a florist, tell them exactly what u want and then get a quote.

im having artificial flowers and ive been quoted £300 for a handtied brides bouquet with cala lilies, tiger lilies, orange roses, chocolate orchids and grasses, 3 bridesmaid handties the same style but without tigerlilies and orchids, 5 butterfly and cala lily wands and 4 cala lily button holes. They do have coloured ribbon and coloured gems. I wasnt sure if that was a good price or not, but looking at everyone elses quotes i dont think its that bad!

hey, im having the same problem, i just cant find any places in nottingham that i like, and as am currently living in london, i cant go looking in florists!!!!!!!have you found any nice places????
im making my own buttonholes-thanks to hobbycraft, so thats cut my budget down a bit, only looking now at 3 bouquets and 2 arrangments for the church!!!
CommentAuthorLNewman
Hobbycraft sounds like a good idea but have finally found mrsbouquets.com and very reasonable prices. Did you mean nice florists or venues? Off to see a couple of possible reception areas tomorrow.
Only need 4 bouquets and two pew ends. Where is the nearest Hobbycraft now in Notts area? I know one used to be in precinct (Broadmarsh?)

Just a word of warning go and get a few quotes. The first florist I went to wanted to charge £90 for a handtied boquet of tulips. I thought that was a bit steep, but if that's how much florists charge I'l do it myself. Then at a wedding fayre got chatting to a florist who said that tulips were cheap in April and would charge £40. Now I'm not that brilliant at maths but that's a huge saving. It's not because she's rubbish either. She is an established florist whos work is amazing!! Good luck!! x
CommentAuthorCarlyroo
woo, just bought my flowers- for a grand total of £11.98!!!!man i feel thrifty now!!!! lnewman, where are you looking at for reception venues??were having ours at blotts country club in holme pierrepont, next to the water, its set really secluded and the ballroom is all red and gold, totally opulent tackiness, its fab!!!!! i used to use that hobbycraft in broadmarsh all the time, im gutted its closed down!!!!was planning on getting my stuff there when i go to visit my parents next, guess il have to find the closest one down here in london!!!!!!
CommentAuthorCarlyroo
hobbycraft website has a bit with all sorts of ideas and how to make sections, which im finding really helpful, especially since it gives level of difficulty and an approximate time of making!!
CommentAuthorLNewman
£11.98? Whoop whoop for you! Toiralou, that sounds fantastic,was thinking of using tulips anyway, so wouldn't feel like compromising. Really should speak to a florist soon though... Blotts Country Club looks nice. We've been to the Hostess in Sookholme this morning and Bondhay Golf Club in Whitwell too. We don't have a big wedding party,maximum of 70 in the evening so looking for places that don't charge for a minimum amount of people. Hostess was really nice but expensive in terms of what we can afford. Bondhay was really good price wise but looked like it could do with a good lick of paint...feeling pretty disappointed at the moment. Can't think of may more places :(
CommentAuthorLNewman
Had a look at Hobbycraft website but lo and behold I couldn't manage to work out how to find the bits for buttonholes!

Ive been quoted £340 for a cascade bouquet for me, 4 bridesmaid bouquets and 6 button holes xx
CommentAuthorsuzky123
depends on what you want.... mine was £150 for my bouquet, £85 per bm posy, and £10 per button hole (i think, might be five actually and 10 for a corsage) and the pew ends we did ourselves as we had already spent 1200 on flowers with them so not sure about pew ends but my husbands mum did them for I think a fiver per small arrangement.
