    How much on average does a wedding boquet from a florist cost? Or if you did a DIY I'd also be interested in knowing how much you speant for one bouquet?

    I didn't use flowers I made a feather bouquet for myselft, but I'm now selling them and wanted to see how the far in comparison to real bouquet flower prices on average.

    My florist created mine for about $175.  It included peonies, roses, orchids, and callas with an ivory wrap.

    Mine is going to be $125 for a handtied bouquet of roses, dahlias, tulips, maybe runuculas with wire encasing with crystals on the wire, and a silver wire throat.  (I copied and pasted the description from my florist's spreadsheet in case the details are helpful)!

    Mine was around $180-190 I think--it was handtied roses, hydrangea, rananculus, freesia, and some other flowers I don't remember, with a ribbon wound around the stems.

    I had a bouquet of seven ivory roses and it cost $35, if I recall correctly. I didn't want a big bouquet.

    I appreciate this doesn't help you, but mine cost nothing!!! the decorator who supplied the flowers (and did all the decoration) for the wedding made my bouquet for free. 

     

    (having said that, we did pay him a not so small fortune, so it was the least he could do!)

    Forgot to add--I went through a grocery store florist, which slashed the price even more.

    I bought my bouquet at Bunches Direct (www.bunchesdirect.com)

    It was beautiful and only cost $29.99, which is so much cheaper than anything else I had seen around.

    I was quoted $125 for a hand-tied bouquet of white roses, purple statis, purple orchids, white hydrangeas, and some other stuff I can't remember. That will also include some beading/ribbon. Oh, and they are giving me a free "toss" bouquet...I think a lot of florists include that too.

    $100, I believe. It's black magic roses and karma chocolate dahlias.

    I was quoted by a couple florists between $150-$250 for a bridal bouquet. We ended up using a local flower shop chain and went with their Rose Package for our personal flowers (we're doing the centerpieces ourselves) and my 2 dozen red rose ribbon wrapped bouquet was free with the package!

    Mine was quoted at being around $150. It's going to be made with English roses and Dahlias in varying shades of pink and pops of red. I am using a wedding/event florist that has her own business, not a chain store or florist shop.

    Good luck with your venture!  We were quoted $125 for dd's bouquet of fresh orange roses and pearl-filled stephanotis.  She has since changed her mind and her FI is buying her bouquet from aNeMonE paper flowers (one of her bm's works there and we hope he gets a good price...they are expensive and very worth it).  Here is their link for drooling: http://www.handmadepaperflowers.com/home.html

    Mine was org. around 165ish, but the florist I'm using was offering a 50% off promotion when we booked our wedding...so we're spending roughly 700 on flowers for the wedding and reception.

    for pete's sake, why are they so expensive? two dozen perfect roses from the florist don't cost anywhere NEAR $150!

    is it really just b/c it is for a *wedding* ? 

    are florists really so evil that they know they can mark it up so much for a WEDDING?!

    :-(
