    I had a tight budget for flowers. I spent ~$700 for 16 items from the florist (1 bride's bouquet, 4 BM bouquet, 1 groom's boutonniere, 5 GM boutonniere, 2 father boutonniere, 3 mother's corsage). Plus another $250 on bulk baby's breath and assorted greenery from Costco for my 19 centerpieces, 2 flower girl bouquets, 1 bridal bouquet toss.


    Something to scare you off your chair, in the spirit of Halloween coming up. One of my Bridesmaid's friend is getting married and she is spending... wait for it... $7,000 on flowers. I kid you not. I wish I was invited to her wedding. Damn.

    It all depends on your budget. We are getting my bouquet, maid of honour bouquet, boutonnieres for my FH, best man and the dads, corsages for the moms and 20 centrepieces (10 of them are tall) for $2000.

    I had a beautiful couple in the Ukraine my grandma's home country, my bouquet, bridesmaids bouquets, hair wreaths for the flower girls and small bouquets, boutineers pouches with lace for lavender favours, all dried flowers + 2 wooden ring boxes They'll be here soon spent just over 250. I know enough of the guests have allergies.

    It depends on your budget and how important the flowers are to both of you: Do you absolutely need real flowers or are you okay with fake ones? Do you want an extensive bouquet/centrepiece on each table or do you want something a bit more simple.

    What is the maximum you want to spend? Once you figure that out, let the florist know what your maximum is and they will give you options that work with your budget. There is no one number that’s “too much”, since everyone has a different budget.

    I spent less than $150 for ALL my flowers. I had real roses and baby's breath in the centre pieces. I made my bouquets and boutonnieres. These may not be your colours but here are examples of items made with Dollar Store flowers.

    We’re looking to save money with our flowers so we’re only doing bouquets for me (bride) and (2) bridesmaids. I’m doing tissue paper flower bouquets for the centrepieces. Here’s the yore we got for the bouquets attached. Here’s a preliminary quote for your information:- bride bouquet with cream roses, plum coloured mini calla lilies, white freesia, and purple stocks $200- bridesmaid bouquet with cream roses, plum coloured carnations and purple stocks $100 each- if you need boutonnieres, a plum calla lily boutonniere would be $15 each, and a cream rose boutonniere with greenery accent would be $10 each

    We were quoted $1400. I want white hydrangeas so maybe that's why? they're an expensive wedding flower... I guess

    It depends on how important flowers are to you. I only want to spend $600 dollars max on flowers. Anything over $1000 I think is too much .
