before i pick a florist, can anyone tell me how much they think i could expect to pay all in? i'm getting married in belfast, so if anyone has any handy hints about there, they're very welcome!
How much can i expect to pay for wedding flowers?
Flowers are very expensive, mention wedding and the price doubles. Go to a few florists and get price lists before choosing one, and ask if you can see some examples of their work. They should have a portfolio.
Reply:They're not cheap, that's why I decided to have silk flowers instead. To be honest I just bought some new ones from a charity shop and made my bouquet and buttonholes etc with them. They cost less than £20 and I have still got them 3 years later. Although real flowers are nice they don't last and nobody could tell the difference between them and my silk flowers so I would totally recommend them.
Reply:I paid $800 for my florist...that included her labor charges, all the flowers, and decorations... but I really looked around to find her... most florists in my area wanted about $1500 for the same thing
I used all real flowers... and all of my flowers were roses... but I did mostly simple decorations... the theme for my wedding was "simply elegant"... so my centerpeices only included a single red rose (with other stuff around it) and each of my bridesmaids bouquets only had 3 roses and the rest greenery and additions.... personally, i think fake flowers are tacky looking because they are obviously fake... I also think that weddings that "over do" flowers are tacky as well... your decorations shouldnt look like the flower shop blew up...
Reply:I have some weeds in my yard that need pullin' anyhow...
They're yours if you want them...NO CHARGE!
Reply:if you know of someone who can do this for you it will save you ££££sand some of the flowers you can buy now are so real looking my bouquet was silk flowers as I wanted mum to place them on my grandfathers grave abroad and they were there for a long time and people admired them,as they just looked so real by all means get quotes and see what you think ?do not worry as the flowers will look fab and just as good if not real happy hunting
Reply:depends on what type of flowers you want and time of year
Reply:You have to be more specific if anyone will be able to help you. It has to do with the type of flowers you want, what the season is and if the flowers you want are in season or out of season in which case they will have to be shipped (more $$$). You can save money on flowers by not choosing flowers for your table centerpieces. You can use a variety of other items instead of flowers for centerpieces that will save you a ton of $$$ - the centerpieces are a huge hunk of the cost.
Reply:Mine is about 1,000 for
6 bouquets
6 men's roses
7 corsages
2 dad roses
1 bride bouquet
And I am using ALL roses, no filler.
It really depends on the flower you want to use- something like Daisy are very cheap.
Reply:buy plastic ones there cheaper
Reply:I approached a florist in a local shop and asked if she would like to do my flowers without her boss knowing, she was very flattered and got the flowers direct. It cost me £180.00 for my bouquet, 3 bridesmaids, table decorations(60 grand prix roses) groom, best man,4 ushers, and mums flowers!
Reply:I paid 8o pounds for two bridmaids,6o for mine.i would def shop around before ordering with anyone
Reply:hi megga bucks there not cheep and they do take the piss when its for a special occation
Reply:Hi There
It's a good idea to know what flowers you might like and a rough idea of the costs before you visit the florist - if you know roughly how much you can afford a good florist should work with you to get the flowers you want within your budget.
First of all make a list of the flowers you might like
http://www.myweddingflowerideas.co.uk/we...
Then cost them up to get a rough idea of the budget.
http://www.myweddingflowerideas.co.uk/we...
There's lots of ways to save money like choosing seasonal flowers or flowers that are more cost effective such as Gerbera instead of Calla Lilies - your florist should be able to advise you on this when you visit for your consultation.
Also it's a good idea to get at least three quotes to make sure you get value for money and find a florist that you can work with.
Reply:Using artificial flowers can save you a ton of money and if you are creative you can design the arrangements yourself. If you are set on real flowers check out some online florists, they have some wedding packages available for less than a local florist might charge. If you must use a local florist, use one that isn't very well known in town to save more money. The total amount you can expect to spend depends on how big your venue is and how well it is already decorated and also on how large your wedding party is.
Reply:it depends if you want to use real flowers which in my opinion are way over priced . In the united states roses a dozen are 21.99 down the street from me at the florist . so I guess it depends on what kind of flowers you want as well . I think you would be better off going with artificial flowers and you will always have them to look at later . You cannot do that with real flowers .good luck and congrats on the wedding .
Reply:You can expect to pay anything...from $10 to $10,000 on flowers...it just depends on what you want. My flowers were about $500. I got fake, but I got a lot...well, what seems like a lot to me anyway.
If you want calla lilies, they will cost more. If you want daisies, they will be pretty cheap. Carnations are cheap while roses are more expensive. It just all depends. Talk to a few different florists and look online, compare prices, and pick what you feel is the best deal.
Reply:well for the men id say about 50£ (5men)
for your brides maids id say 100£(5bridsmaids)
for you id says 45-75£ dependning on size and choice of flower , thats prob a average price
Reply:entirely to much
Reply:I live in Michigan. My flower cost is $700, but I found a local florist who doesn't do anything really elaborate, but still does beautiful work. So I was able to get everything I wanted well below what I budgeted ($1200). Make sure to shop around because the second florist we went to had prices that were double the first.
This does not include any kind of centerpieces, as I'm making those myself. It does include everything else: 12 boutonnieres, 8 corsages, 4 bouquets, cake flowers, altar arrangements, and flowers to tuck in the napkins, and rose petals for the cake table. I didn't have to compromise on anything.
And don't do silk flowers for bouquets, boutonnieres, etc. I really think you'd regret. I am filling a tall rectangular vase with water and putting in a silk orchid for each of my centerpieces, but those are the only fake flowers I'm using.
Reply:I bought a variety of silk flowers from ebay and made my own arrangements for the altar and pew ends for our wedding in August 2006. I made 25 buttonholes, my own bouquet and 7 bridesmaids posies. The flowers, foliage, ribbon, tape etc cost no more than 70 pounds and whats more I really enjoyed creating my own, discovered a hidden talent and saved a fortune! I wiil e-mail pics if you like. Good luck!

Where to purchase wedding flowers?
Were getting married in the Spring and have looked into flowers for our wedding at local flower shops and they are quite expensive. I was wondering if there are any ways that we could save money. Or if anyone knows of any cheap places that we could order flowers. Any suggestions/ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Where to purchase wedding flowers?
I found that some sites online had awesome prices for silk, if you would consider silk flowers. I had hot pink peonies as the main flower for my wedding and used silk, and it turned out awesome! (I can send pics of ours if you like!)
Reply:Hobby Lobby and MIchaels run sales periodically. We purchased ours for under $130 for them all. If you have any creative streak in you, try it.
Reply:We're using www.growersbox.com, the online wholesale florist. (Someone else mentioned them earlier.) Their flowers are beautiful, and they have been so helpful -- with everything from the names of the roses we're using and how to care for them to when to order, etc. etc. The Growers Box has several "wedding in a box" packages to choose from... starting with 100 roses, greens and baby's breath for $150.00. (http://www.growersbox.com/wedding-flower... You can also order gerbera daisies, tulips, carnations, lilies, etc.
If you have some crafty friends or relatives, this may be the way to go. You can make your own hand-tied bouquets, corsages and bouttonieres. (Check out: http://www.save-on-crafts.com/roundbouqu... for some ideas.) Then you can put the rest in some nice vases for centerpieces and/or use flower petals as part of the decorations. You can even purchase or rent a large silk flower arrangement and add real flowers to it for more height, depth and beauty.
Good luck on your special day!

All the best to you and your husband to be...
Reply:tulips pink and greens and sunflowers and lavenders advice
Reply:I had a floral designer at Michael's Craft store make my flowers. They were exquisite. They were colorful and everyone thought they were real. I prefer silk because you don't have to wait for a flower delivery on your wedding day and they won't wilt.
Another alternative for real flowers is Costco.
Reply:If you go to your closest Sam's Club, they have a great selection of fresh flowers. The floral shops in my area purchase their flowers there(and resale them at a huge mark up price). They are cheaper than wholesale flowers.

Should I buy flowers for wedding if I already have sent a present ?
If I have already purchased a present for a friend's wedding via the wedding registry, should I also get the flowers?
I read somewhere that it's not appropriate to give flowers (especially at the church) since it may be not convenient for the bride and the groom to transport the flowers from the church.
But somehow it feels weird to come to a wedding with empty hands, even if the present was already sent to the newlyweds....
Should I buy flowers for wedding if I already have sent a present ?
In todays society, wedding eddiquete is not so black and white.
Who pays for what, the format of the wedding, the gift registry - its all changing. It is an indivual choice either for the bride and groom or the guests.
At the end of the day, it is your choice. If you would feel more comfortable to buy flowers as well, do so. If you feel like the bride and groom are not fussy in that respect, then dont worry, save the money and worry.
Try to interpret how the bride and groom feel. They have set up a registry so that suggests that they have particular things they would prefer and dont really want lots of random gifts. So they probably wont worry about not receiving flowers on the day - as you said it may be inconvenient to handle. Specially if the flowers might stain the dress.
Why dont you go for one of those cards that dangle from ribbon that you slip on the wrist of the bride? They dont have to worry about it then as it just wraps around the wrist and wont get in the way? Plus that way you can write a little note on it for keepsake.
Do what is most comfortable to you, but remember times are changing and everyone seems to take tradition vs modern very different.
Reply:No need to bring flowers if you have already sent the gift.
Reply:If you feel weird going empty handed take a card. You have already sent the gift.
Reply:It's not necessary. Flowers are ready purchased for the wedding. If you have sent a present already then it is ok to come empty handed.
Reply:just bring a card
Reply:I think you should just bring a card, maybe you can put a poem inside or something, but you've already sent a gift, so you're all set! Most people do the same, so there is no need for flowers. The couple may be so involved in getting settled into their home and figuring out what to do with all their gifts and packing that they may not have time to appreciate flowers, although they are a beautiful gesture!
Just hold your handbag in one hand and a cocktail in another... you won't be empty-handed then! :)
Reply:NO YOU DON'T HAVE TO . BUT IF YOU FEEL LIKE IT, GO AHEAD. A WEDDING CAN NEVER HAVE TO MANY FLOWERS ! MAY BE IN A BASKET , IT'S EASIER TO CARRY.

Reply:As the mother of the bride last month, I beg you, go to the wedding empty handed.

You sent a gift ahead of time (bless you), and nothing else but your presence at their special day is necessary!

What is the cheapest way to buy real flowers for an outdoor wedding in July in Tennessee?
I mean CHEAP. Very tight budget. We can arrange them ourselves... my sister is GREAT at arranging flowers. Any ideas appreciated.

There are many wholesale places on the web that sell flowers to the average consumer without a vendors liscence. Here are a few websites that I have found that are able to give you low prices.

I checked out the prices and they are within a few cents of what a retail florist would pay if they bought them from their wholesaler.

What types and colors of flowers did or will you have at your wedding?
I'm a florist and do flowers for weddings, and I just think it's fun to hear about what everyone does for their wedding.
What types and colors of flowers did or will you have at your wedding?
My bridal bouquet is mango calla lilies, and my bridesmaids are carrying circus roses, charlene red roses, red hypericum. Our reception centerpieces are square glass vases with cut limes in the bottom, with large sunflowers, hot pink roses, orange gerbers, green fugi mum, and red gerbers. The color combination in the centerpieces is GORGEOUS!
Reply:When I got married in 1999 I carried 12 off-white roses with light pink tinting in them, they were short stemmed and I had long off-white and pink sheer ribbons tied around them. THey were beautiful. The boutineers were single roses (same colors) with babies breath. I also had flowers on my 3 tier wedding cake, off white roses with the pink tinting and light pink carnations, babies breath, and pearls hanging on the side of the cake. It was gorgeous. I have never seen a cake as pretty as mine. I wore an off white wedding dress and my husband wore a black tuxedo as did our son.
Reply:Our colours were pink, yellow, lilac and light teal. My bouquet was a European handtied bouquet, rather large so I could carry it along my arm when my husband and I walked up the aisle together. It was a variety of flowers - of what I recall there were roses, stargazer lilies, alstromeria, carns, a spider mum, etc. There were long trailing ribbons in the four colours, so it was cool.
The bridesmaids had smaller, similar bouquets, but each had ribbons in her own colour. (The bridesmaids wore the same dress, white with little flowers in the aforementioned colours, so each attendant couple got a 'colour' - for example, the 'pink' couple - the bridesmaid had a wreath of pink flowers in her hair, and pink ribbons trailing from her bouquet. Her groomsman had a pink bowtie and cummerbund.)
The mens' boutonnieres were mini carns. Had three large floral arrangements for the church (later went to the reception site) in a variety of flowers in our colours.
Yes, we went colour mad, but it was beautiful and happy for a July wedding!
p.s. Rebecca T. - your pics are lovely! What beautiful colours, dresses and flowers! Your and your groom make a gorgeous couple!

Reply:my colours for my wedding were pink, silver and white. my flowers wer orchids with pnk roses and these small white lillies I'm pretty sure they said they were. my maid of honours flowers were the same minus the orchids. they were expensive, but beautiful.
Reply:My primary color was deep red with all the other complimentary fall colors- brown,copper,gold, and wine. The bridesmaids all wore different style dresses in these different colors yet same fabric. Flowers were wild flowers and herbs from my mothers garden and ditches. We also had a florist "arrange" them and throw in some roses and callas. I wanted it to look very organic and freshly gathered.

Reply:My bouquet was white roses, white spray roses, white stock and stephenotis with the pearls in them. My maid of honor was white roses, pink spray roses and some light blue delphinum. My bridesmaids were pink roses, blue hygrangae, light blue delphinum. The groom had a single white rose, the groomsmen were light blue stephenotis. The mothers were pink roses along with the grandmothers, the dads and grandfather were also pink roses.
The alter arangements were long stem white roses only. 24 in each vase, very simple.
The table arrangements were pink, white and light blue carnations flooting in water bowls over mirrors.
Reply:When I got married the first time I used lavendar roses. My wedding colors were white, lavendar, and silver. I love roses, and esepcially the ones with pretty colors that you don't see all the time
Reply:We had a very tiny family only wedding at a Justice of the Peace, years ago. My fiance and I went in to the florists' to see about flowers.
My fiance asked what was cheapest, so I ended up with 3 carnations in a corsage in pink and white for me, and white carnations for my Mom.
Did not have a maid of honor, and didn't get any flowers for the guys. I don't remember the florist even mentioning them.
I do remember that when Mom was given her corsage, she remarked "funeral flowers." I had not thought of them that way till that moment, but she took all of the joy over the flowers away from me with that remark.
Reply:I'll be married in october and we're looking for flowers to go w our colors still, the main color will be a deep, dark blue. Then we'll have an olivish green and finally a gold very sparsely just to accent the other colors. Maybe you can email me to give some suggestions ( : We were thinking about just white roses or white calla lillies
Reply:I decided that the traditional wedding flowers (roses, calla lillies) were not for me. I'm using dark orange lillies, small gold flowers that look like mums (can't remember the name) and a couple very small dark red flowers (can't remember their name either) It's for a fall wedding, so the bold colors look great.
Reply:my colors were bordeaux (burgundy), gold and ivory. my flowers were green hydrangeas, green hypericum berries, burgundy mini calla lillies, purple tuplips, hand-tied with burgundy ribbon around the stems. the bridesmaids dresses were bordeaux, and they carried green hydrangeas, green hypericum berries, hand-tied with burgundy ribbons. I loved my flowers!!! there were pretty but not too big or complicated, which was good since my dress was a slim A-line/sheath.
Reply:my wedding colors were aqua and silver so we did the flowers springy with pinks, whites, I think the bridesmaids had some yellows..and then lots of greenery
I dont remember much of the bridesmaids..that was my moms thing..but in mine there were lillies, lilacs, roses, and some flowers I dont know
http://www.sunprairiesentryfloral.com/pr... that was the idea of my bouquet but we added more lillies to it and changed the roses to pink and white
Reply:I used silk roses that I bought years ago at Pottery Barn-they were Ivory English roses because I was afraid to use a florist for real flowers. When my sisters got married, their flowers looked horrible, and wilted after the ceremony. Mine, on the other hand, looked gorgeous, and everyone complimented me on my taste.
Reply:2 dozen peach roses for my bouquet. Bridesmaids had white and peach snapdragons (my favorite), peach roses, astromeria and greens.
Reply:my wedding colors were hunter green and white. i have never seen hunter green flowers, so i used white flowers and different shades of pinks
Reply:I will have light purples and pinks and white of course. mayube some coral color too. All fresh and springy colors. :)
Reply:I had an April wedding. I carried orange gerber daisies and everyone else had orange roses. The orange was an awesome contrast to hunter green dresses.
Reply:My boyfriend's mom is a florist, too. We're having calla lilies. Each bridesmaid and I will carry one lily with ribbon up the stem. The guys will wear them, too. Moms will have wrist corsages instead of on their clothes. We haven't decided on centerpieces yet. (Our colors are red, white, and black.)
Reply:White, white and a hint of blue.....Dodgers fan here!
Reply:Getting married in August... my colors are chocolate and pink. I am having white roses, pale pink roses and white hydrangeas all tied with a chocolate colored ribbon.
What types and colors of flowers did or will you have at your wedding?
My bridal bouquet is mango calla lilies, and my bridesmaids are carrying circus roses, charlene red roses, red hypericum. Our reception centerpieces are square glass vases with cut limes in the bottom, with large sunflowers, hot pink roses, orange gerbers, green fugi mum, and red gerbers. The color combination in the centerpieces is GORGEOUS!
Reply:When I got married in 1999 I carried 12 off-white roses with light pink tinting in them, they were short stemmed and I had long off-white and pink sheer ribbons tied around them. THey were beautiful. The boutineers were single roses (same colors) with babies breath. I also had flowers on my 3 tier wedding cake, off white roses with the pink tinting and light pink carnations, babies breath, and pearls hanging on the side of the cake. It was gorgeous. I have never seen a cake as pretty as mine. I wore an off white wedding dress and my husband wore a black tuxedo as did our son.
Reply:Our colours were pink, yellow, lilac and light teal. My bouquet was a European handtied bouquet, rather large so I could carry it along my arm when my husband and I walked up the aisle together. It was a variety of flowers - of what I recall there were roses, stargazer lilies, alstromeria, carns, a spider mum, etc. There were long trailing ribbons in the four colours, so it was cool.
The bridesmaids had smaller, similar bouquets, but each had ribbons in her own colour. (The bridesmaids wore the same dress, white with little flowers in the aforementioned colours, so each attendant couple got a 'colour' - for example, the 'pink' couple - the bridesmaid had a wreath of pink flowers in her hair, and pink ribbons trailing from her bouquet. Her groomsman had a pink bowtie and cummerbund.)
The mens' boutonnieres were mini carns. Had three large floral arrangements for the church (later went to the reception site) in a variety of flowers in our colours.
Yes, we went colour mad, but it was beautiful and happy for a July wedding!
p.s. Rebecca T. - your pics are lovely! What beautiful colours, dresses and flowers! Your and your groom make a gorgeous couple!
Reply:i haven't got married yet but i'm with the person who i hope to marry.. for my wedding i would have orchids.. probably in white and pink.. i think they are beautiful but aren't sure how they'd work in a bouquet
Reply:Calla lillies with alstomerias
Reply:My boyfriend and I are not getting married any time soon but we do often discuss what we would like for our wedding. I want to have a black and white wedding with deep red roses and silver accents.
Reply:my colours for my wedding were pink, silver and white. my flowers wer orchids with pnk roses and these small white lillies I'm pretty sure they said they were. my maid of honours flowers were the same minus the orchids. they were expensive, but beautiful.
Reply:My primary color was deep red with all the other complimentary fall colors- brown,copper,gold, and wine. The bridesmaids all wore different style dresses in these different colors yet same fabric. Flowers were wild flowers and herbs from my mothers garden and ditches. We also had a florist "arrange" them and throw in some roses and callas. I wanted it to look very organic and freshly gathered.

Reply:I had a black and white wedding. For my accent color, my bridemaids carried simple bouquets of red roses. I carried a bouquet of white roses.
We kept to the same theme by using roses throughout the reception hall, etc.
Reply:I am thinking about having deep red and white roses.
Reply:I am getting married next month, and we are having Red Roses, and The deep red looking star-gazers. My boquet will have 9 roses and stargazers, my Bridesmaids will have stargazers only, and our Bouts and crousages will be red roses.
Reply:My colors are apple red, white, and accents of gold. I'm having roses, and stephanotis wrapped in gold ribbon!

Reply:My bouquet was white roses, white spray roses, white stock and stephenotis with the pearls in them. My maid of honor was white roses, pink spray roses and some light blue delphinum. My bridesmaids were pink roses, blue hygrangae, light blue delphinum. The groom had a single white rose, the groomsmen were light blue stephenotis. The mothers were pink roses along with the grandmothers, the dads and grandfather were also pink roses.
The alter arangements were long stem white roses only. 24 in each vase, very simple.
The table arrangements were pink, white and light blue carnations flooting in water bowls over mirrors.
Reply:When I got married the first time I used lavendar roses. My wedding colors were white, lavendar, and silver. I love roses, and esepcially the ones with pretty colors that you don't see all the time
Reply:We had a very tiny family only wedding at a Justice of the Peace, years ago. My fiance and I went in to the florists' to see about flowers.
My fiance asked what was cheapest, so I ended up with 3 carnations in a corsage in pink and white for me, and white carnations for my Mom.
Did not have a maid of honor, and didn't get any flowers for the guys. I don't remember the florist even mentioning them.
I do remember that when Mom was given her corsage, she remarked "funeral flowers." I had not thought of them that way till that moment, but she took all of the joy over the flowers away from me with that remark.
Reply:I'll be married in october and we're looking for flowers to go w our colors still, the main color will be a deep, dark blue. Then we'll have an olivish green and finally a gold very sparsely just to accent the other colors. Maybe you can email me to give some suggestions ( : We were thinking about just white roses or white calla lillies

If you got married how much did your wedding flowers cost all in?
We arranged the flowers ourselves. $500 was the total for the flowers and supplies (tape, wire, ribbon, vases). I was pretty happy with it considering we had roses, orchids and calla lilies...they're not the cheapest flowers.
If you got married how much did your wedding flowers cost all in?
i was lucky, i went to a wedding fair and found a flower company who did it from home so they didnt charge shop prices. And i know somebody who worked for her so i got 30% off.
i got lilac and cream roses for my boquet, three bridesdmaids flowers, 7 buttonholes, three corsages, twelve table decorations for 281.90.
the table decorations were gerbers but others roses.
if you want the website or number i can give you it!!
Reply:check out 50flowers.com its a place to get a lot of flowers for real cheap.... i am using them for my centerpieces....im saving almost 100.00 each for 20 centerpiece bouquets.
Reply:Well, I am not into flowers, so we didn't have any for the centerpieces, just my bouquet, the bridesmaids, just my husband (the groomsmen wore handkerchiefs), and the 2 moms had a flower pin thingy. Total for all that was about $500. If we decided to to floral centerpieces, total would have been $1500. It wasn't important to us, so we saved money that way.
Reply:about £150 for the bouquet and bridesmaid's bouquet, then £350 for the large arrangements for the wedding itself and buttonholes.
Reply:They were just under 800. My bouquet was a European handtied bouquet of mixed flowers (some roses, stargazer lilies, alstromeria, carns, spider mums, etc.), pretty large bouquet. Four attendants had smaller versions. Then the mens' boutonnieres were mini carns, some corsages for family members, too. Had three large floral arrangements, which we used for the church, then at the head table for the reception.
Reply:We are only paying $125 (possibly less). I know a man who sells rose stems made out of wood in our local mall, and they are painted so that they look very similar to real roses. This is the website he gets them from (although I think you might have to buy much bigger quantities on the site), but there are other types of flowers too.

It will only cost us like .25 a stem :) Then we are going to mix them in with other cheaper, real flowers from my parents garden, such as carnations and daisies. They look real even next to the real flowers!

All together I spent about $50 for supplies and flowers.
We used silk arrangements that were at the church that went well with our colors (pink and white)--we got to use them for free.
I didn't feel the need for all the pew bows, and centerpieces. At the reception we just displayed the bouquets at the main table and used balloons for decorations on the other tables (our theme was kids--all our invitations, favors, decorations, etc. had kids of some form--either Anne Geddes or Precious Moments), and the balloons seemed more appropriate (and way more affordable) than flowers!
