How much did you spend on your flowers for your wedding?

For the bridal party, for centerpieces, and what did you get for that price?

How much did you spend on your flowers for your wedding?
I got a really good deal through someone my Mom works with who has a flower business on the side. Our total cost was $500. When we got a bid before we hired my Mom's friend it came to $2500. We're lucky!

Delivery included. We bought them in bulk and did our centerpieces (36)before the wedding. That included all the bridesmaids (6) bouquets and brides that were made up by the florist, 20 Boutonnieres and corsages for everyone else.
Reply:i actually went to a local flower/nursery. if you could find a local one, they're great. you can usually find a pretty fair discount at one also. mine will cost close to almost $25 a centerpiece. the bridal party will cost me a little bit extra since the flowers will be dyed.


but! good wishes.

Reply:Just remember that you don't have to get real flowers... who'd be able to tell the difference anyway...and they won't last forever anyway. In pictures they all look the same as well.


Go to an arts store like a Michael's or a crafts store and search around there. Maybe just get yourself real flowers (for your bouquet) if you have to have them.
Reply:I just did the bridal party and it was like $300 including delivery. Parents, Bride and groom, 5 bridesmaids, 3 groomsmen
Reply:Just under 800, from a local florist. My bouquet was a mixed handtied European bouquet (some roses, lilies, alstromeria, carns, an orchid, etc.), which was about 100; bridesmaids were a smaller version, so there were four at about 50-60 each. That included boutonnieres for the guys, several corsages, and three floral arrangements - which we used at the church, then they were on the head table.
Reply:About 2,000.00. For that I got boutionerres (spelling?) for all men in the wedding including the preacher and singers etc. I got hydgrenga and rose bouquets for my bridesmaids, a rose "ball" for my flower girl, a huge flower arrangement for the church and a large flower arrangement for the reception. Flowers are very expensive so it just depends on how much you are going to use. Good luck!
Reply:around $800 total....250 was for 12 centerpeices (made those myself, the 250 covered the materials) and the rest was for bouquets, bouts and corsages, one guestbook table arrangement and cake flowers. We didnt have any arrangements on stage, we had columns and ferns and they covered a lot of area for a lot less than 1 $400 arrangement would have! It was beautiful....

Reply:i paid a little over $300 and that is with 6 couples standing up and feeding 400 people i found the bouquets and all flowers on line and they are beautiful
Reply:I don't remember it's been so long. I wanna say somewhere in the neighborhood of 200-250.00 ??? Sorry. I had a small wedding with one maid of honor, one best man, no flower child. I think we had small centerpeices, tho.
Reply:We bought silk flowers in bunches (already in bouquets) from walmart and cut them up. I also got hand picked greenery and roses. beads, and sprays, ribbons. we then created our own bouquets by mixing the flowers together and using floral tape and wire. We made the boutonnieres and the centerpieces and centers for the pew bows. I spent about $250.00 on everything. I had 4 large bouquets, flower girl basket and headband, 10 boutonnieres, 40 pew bows, and 30 centerpieces.
Reply:I had two different florists. My co-workers brother has a flower shop on the high end price. Extremely high end quality as well. He gave me a great deal. $320 for a full orchid %26amp; rose bouquet, two large floral arrangements at the altar, and the gazebo had 3 large arrangements, and 12 boutenniers, AND a box of rose petals. Needless to say, he went above %26amp; beyond because he delivered arrangements worth at least 3-4 times what I paid. My bouquet alone was worth almost $300 %26amp; he charged me $60! For my centerpieces, corsages %26amp; bridesmaid bouquets, I went to the downtown flower market district %26amp; brought the price down from $45 to $16 a centerpiece. Their price including free delivery was about $700. More or less, I spent a little over $1000 for 20 centerpieces, 5 corsages, my bouquet, box of petals, 12 corsages, 5 BM bouquets, gazebo flowers with pillar rental, and 2 extra floral arrangements. Grand total, appx. $1100.
Reply:$700 no centerpieces, 6 bridesmaids, 1 bride, 12 boutineers, 4 corsages, 1 high low, i aisle runner, and 2 larger floral arrangements.

Reply:Less than $100. I went with silk bouquets, cascades, and garland from ebay and thebridesbouquet.com. I have no complaints..

Since we were married in a redwood grove, it seemed silly to spend a lot on flower arrangements, or to have very formal bouquets.





So the day before the wedding, my matron of honor and I went to the local open-to-the-public florist's supply store. We picked up a roll of florist's tape, some corsage pins, a roll of red silk ribbon, and a bunch or two each of everything that was long-stemmed, pretty, and cheap that day. We added in one bunch of red roses. Half the roses went into my bouquet, and one rose was laid on each table at the reception.





There wound up being sheaf bouquets for six (me and five bridesmaids), a corsage for my beloved's mother, and boutonierres (sp?) for six (groom, four groomsmen, my father) and a simple decoration for each table at the reception.





Wouldn't have worked for some spaces, but it was plenty for us and everything looked great.

Reply:About 800. I had a huge alter arrangement. That was the expensive part. Bouquet for 4 bm and me, bouts for 4 gm and groom. Then bouts for the fathers and corsages for several important people (mothers, grandmothers, aunts-i think 8 total).





For flower centerpieces I ordered from a warehouse tons of glads. They came in the box and we arranged them ourselves.





Plus I bought a couple dozen silk hibiscus flowers at a craft store, to scatter around on the gift table and buffet table.
Reply:About $3000. 25 centerpieces, bride's bouquet, 1 toss bouquet, 3 bridesmaids bouquets, 5 corsages, 7 boutonnieres, greenery for outdoor arch, greenery/decoration for head table.
Reply:$800. We got 6 bouquets, flowers for church, pews and some for reception. We used hurricane lamps and candles for centerpieces so didn't need them for tables. My bouquet, 2 dozen roses, was the most expensive item.
Reply:We were lucky because the venue preferred to use its own centerpieces. We carefully thought through and planned a bouquet for the bride, two attendants, the groom and his attendants, plus the immediate family (grandparents, parents, step-parents). Oh, the musician had one. The total cost was around $500.00. There was a "throw-away" bouquet also.





The bridal and attendants' bouquets were put into vases atop the bridal table!





Check different wedding sites such as THE KNOT, etc for ideas for centerpieces. If it is during warm weather, why not use flowers that could go into the garden. Of course, it would depend on the time of year. Or use an indoor ivy plant. It looks quite nice plus could have something with it. Not every venue will let you use candles so ask before you put that into the plan. Too many weddings have tried the mirror on the table with glassware and marbles, etc. Looks cheesy.





Best of luck. Just stay out of the crafts store aisles where it will take lots of work to produce something that YOU think is unusual. The best idea is something that can be given away or reused in another way.
Reply:I only spent $100!!This includes mothers flowers, grandmothers flowers, the groom, best man, ushers and centerpieces. I had a very small intimate wedding and it was very lovely.
