Bouquets...How Much $$$ ?

[TangoWedding]

After looking at the thread where everyone posted pictures of their bouquets, it got me thinking.

I always assumed I'd use fake flowers, so I never even looked at real ones.

Just curious...how much did your real bouquets cost?

(I don't need bridesmaids bouquets, so if you know the price for just yours, that'd be awesome!)

I am DIY with real flowers and the Gerber daisies are $1.20 a stem!

[TangoWedding]

That's a heckuva lot cheaper than my fakes! :whoa: (From $2.99 to $4.99 each so far!)

By the way, here is the bouquet I'm just dying about. LOVE THIS!!!! (Picture stolen from the bouquet thread! LOL)

I am pretty sure she got her DIY from an on-line company! Let me see if I can find the thread!

Mine are pretty cheap, not sure if it because it is Hawaii or what!!!

Great great thread! Thank you so much!!!!!!! :geek:

Whoa. On that site, their orchids are about $23 per stem. Yikes. Not wanting to spend THAT much. LOL!

I can't give you the cost for just mine alone. We bought two dozen roses & one bunch of mixed flowers from Costco the morning of our wedding. I made my bouquets, 2 BM bouquets, 3 corsages & 4 boutonnieres out of that. The roses were $19.99 a bunch and the mixed flowers were $14.99; $55.00 + $4 for corsage pins + $5 for ribbon + $1 for floral wire = total $65.00.

Maybe the prices are cheaper at different times of the year!

I don't remember how much it cost. I'll have to ask my mom lol.

I have a few website saved that I will be ordering from. I checked out a few. This one has tons of diferent orchids and they are about 2.31 a piece. The only thing is that the minimum order is 60 stems. Maybe you could call and ask about purchasing half of that???

I'm thinking I'll look around at local places and see what orchids cost. I'm making ONE bouquet...I certainly won't need that many! :frogg:

[samantha01]

I think mine was about $65http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p171/community01/bouquet.jpg

WOW!! Thats so pretty, Samantha!! Where did you get it, if i may ask..?

[Blusher]

we have wild diasies in our pack pasture, so we're using them...so my buquets are only costing me the gas it takes to drive back there on the 4wheeler haha

My mom's best friend use to be a florist. Hes doing all of our flowers. He told me that it would cost anything. Im very excited to start working with him on the flowers. I'm very lucky. I want all Gerber Daisies. :)
