Floral arrangements!! HELP?

Question

how much is a reasonable price for a floral arrangment for head table (its the length of 10 people) Im thinking 3 floral arrangemtns; one in the middle and two on the ends. I have no idea about flowers and would like to get my moneys worth!

Answer 1

It truthfully depends on what flowers you use and the particular florist, some mark up a lot more than others, and the difference in flowers pricing can be extreme.  I am guessing you would do the one in hte middle a little bigger?  I would say allow 75 on that one and then 50 each on the ones on hte sides, thats the average roses, lilly, daisies, filler, (kinda standard wedding flowers) type arrangement.....if you can give me more details I may be able to help more!

Answer 2

Just use the Bridesmaids bouquets as your arrangements for the head table.  Get simple vase and spread them out throughout the table.  They won't need to carry them for the reception.  Maybe only for pictures.  And usually the arrangements for the ceremony can be taken with to the reception.

You should be able to get an idea of costs from FTD.com:

It all depends on the types of flowers that you want.

Answer 4

I think it depends on wear you go, try a mom & pop shop near your home they have way better prices than the big chains.

I went to one by my house in SO. CAL. for my grandmothers 70th birthday party, we rented a hall & everything, but when I went to pick center pieces I was being charged up to $150 each arrangment. It doesn't sound like much but when you times it by 8 & add tax it got pretty expensive. I went to a mom & pop shop about 15 min. away from my home & I got 8 center pieces for $25 each & they looked way better & more expensive than all the others I had seen for more.

Good luck,
