Answer 1

Thats an awesome price, especially including all the labor going into it. Make sure you like the silk flowers your florist is using before the wedding. I've seen brides be horrified at the unrealistic look of their silk flower bouquets. Your wedding sounds beautiful and classy (I love the pool blue touches.) Good luck to you!

Answer 2

very reasonable...i paid a similar amount 12 years ago...and had beautiful flowers...and plenty of them for the price, too.

Answer 3

i think it's steep but maybe you could take the quote to a florist and see how much it would be for real flowers

Answer 4

I'm paying more than that for real flowers, and we aren't having all these extras that you are, just bouquets, boutonnières and corsages. For good silk flowers you should expect to pay as much as for real, so assuming that these are good quality you're getting a really good price.

Answer 5

That seams like a little much, but she it sounds like you are having someone do them for you so it includes labor. They sound pretty! Good luck!

Answer 6

I would cut back some on the AMOUNT of flowers and go for real ones. It would be so much more elegant to have a few really nice, real flowers rather than a lot of fake ones. My friend got married last year and used silk flowers. They got the job done, but it was obvious even in the photos that they were fake. I would at least get your and the bridesmaids'bouquetss with real flowers. The others (like boutonnieres) could pass with fake flowers.

Answer 7

That is a great price, all that in real flowers would be twice as much.  People who say it's too much haven't shopped for flowers lately!
