    I'm curious - regarding Miss PC's post about DIY-ers vs SEDIP-ers, what's the lowest price you've seen for non-DIY flowers? 

    How much did it include?

    What didn't it cover?

    Good question - I'm hoping to DIY but if the price is right....

    I hope you get some responses, Dragon, because I'd like to know too!

    Ok, here's the trick - go find your local Flowerama (they're a franchise!)  and give them a budget (mine was 300 for everything).  With everything I needed - bouquet, bouts and corsages they came in at about $210 - using Hydrangeas and imported mistletoe, when I thought I was going to be lucky to get roses!.  Since I had some money left over, I'm having them make Pomanders of Mistletoe to hang over the doors at our reception (It's a christmas wedding, what can I say?).

    It can be done (and NOT by me!! Go SEDIP-ers!)

    I was going to DIY my flowers, but ran out of time (and motivation) at the end. I had 10 tightly packed white carnation centerpieces (but I provided the vases, which I already had), one large tightly packed yellow carnation centerpiece (I supplied the container, which I already had), two tightly packed carnation bouquets (I supplied the ribbon, which I already had), two yellow button mum bouts, two packs of loose yellow button mums for me to decorate with, and.... I think that's it. I picked them all up to save on delivery, as well.

    I paid $225.

    I don't have really great pics of the centerpieces yet, hoping to have those soon.
