I did see the fiftyflowers.com garden roses and planned on showing that to the florist.  I'm going to give her the benefit of the doubt and say that maybe she couldn't get them before...or maybe not in my budget.  We'll see.  I don't think that she's trying to scam me or anything. catcat on "Flower Prices in CNY" http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/flower-prices-in-cny#post-81559 Sun, 31 Aug 2008 10:14:21 +0000 catcat 81559@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ I'm doing peonies, cabbage roses, and callas, and the things you listed for me will be $400 from Wegmans.  They're also doing my centerpieces and ceremony decorations.  It's going to be about $1000 total, but still a pretty good price!  I'm in Rochester.   GorgesViola on "Flower Prices in CNY" http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/flower-prices-in-cny#post-81505 Sat, 30 Aug 2008 19:18:37 +0000 GorgesViola 81505@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ That's fantastic...

A good florist can order them for you - or you can order them online yourself.

Where are you getting your flowers from? WOW you lucked out.  NYAmber on "Flower Prices in CNY" http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/flower-prices-in-cny#post-67915 Mon, 14 Jul 2008 13:33:15 +0000 NYAmber 67915@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ Wow - I must be getting some deal then.  Small towns rock!  I was quoted 3-500 for all I listed above as an off the cuff quote.  The florist is supposed to get back to me when she can call in the details and get a better idea.  She insisted that it wouldn't be more than $500.  MissCamera on "Flower Prices in CNY" http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/flower-prices-in-cny#post-67851 Mon, 14 Jul 2008 12:00:15 +0000 MissCamera 67851@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ The price really depends on the area and how much the florists think they can get away with charging. Wedding flowers are also marked up 20% from what they would charge for a "non-wedding" corsage etc. Most bridal bouquets alone will cost a few hundred dollars or more, and all of the flowers and centerpieces tend to run a few thousand altogether. If you're looking for a more affordable option, I suggest having a grocery chain with floral department do your flowers. (i.e. Stop & Shop or Price Chopper). I'm not sure where you're located so I dont know what stores for sure. They have standard wedding packages that start around $500.00 No matter what some people think, the floral manager is usually a REAL florist thats in charge of making wedding flowers, so you dont have to worry that some 16 year old is going to be the one throwing something together for your bouquet.
