So I just got a quote back from the florist that I want to use. I am CLUELESS when it comes to the cost of flowers, so can anyone help me figure out if this is an okay, good, or great deal?? My flowers are a mix of large/mini gerbera daisies (colored & white), hydrangas, and mini roses. My bouquet & the boutineres also includes lily of the valley.

Here is the breakdown of my quote:

Bouquets

Bride – 105

Bridesmaids – 6@ $40 each

Boutonnières

Groom- 10

Groomsmen –6@$7 each

Fathers –2@ $7 each

Corsages

Mothers –4@ $17 each

Flower girls, flowers for hair 3@ $8 each

Two flower arrangements elevated on pedestals (for the Church)- 2@ $85 each

Centerpieces –16@ $45 each

What do you guys think??? The wedding is in Philadelphia.

I think thats an amazing deal! I'm in Baltimore and used an organic florist and her prices were very similar to those above, some things were a couple dollars higher and some a couple dollars lower than what you have above. I also used all flowers that were in season, so I'm sure that helped my cost too!

The price breakdown is right in line with what I paid here in Michigan, so I think that's a great quote for Philly where I would expect things to be more expensive.
