Weddingbee boards

A bunch of my friends have used Whole foods in West Vancouver. The quality seems great and they say the prices are much better than elsewhere. I am waiting to get my quote back, but I will likely go with them. I don't think they deliver, though.

I just got my quote back from Whole foods. They said that it's a bit high since the colour of roses I picked is a bit unusual. If I pick a more common shade of pink the price might go down.

I was told it will be around $450 for the follows:

1 bride bouquet raspeberry pink roses, hand tied, with greens

3 bridesmaids bouquets similar, but scaled down from mine

3 corsages

7 boutineres

I think in general, that's pretty reasonable, but at the same time I'm having a hard time thinking about spending $500 for something which will only last a day.

whole foods eh? Is there any place people can think of that would be closer to north vancouver. It seems like an awfully long way to drive for flowers...

I need 1 bridal bouquet, 2 bridesmaids bouquets, about 7 bouts and 3 corsages i think... plus maybe 2 pomanders for the flower girls... and then I would have liked flower centerpieces too

Do you think I can get all that for around (or under) $500?

@Baileyh:

Ok, sending message!

North Vancouver actually. We live in Vic, but the wedding is in North Van.

How do you get such amazing deals?

@Baileyh: Thanks! I've emailed her. :)

I found an even better deal and wanted to pass the info along in case anyone can use it!

I will be using May's flowers in the Lonsdale Quay. May and her mom have been incredibly helpful, had many great ideas and tips, and am I was so impressed with the prices.

Here is what I am getting:

1 bride bouquet 18 hot pink roses, hand tied, with greens

3 bridesmaids bouquets with 9 hot pink edged roses

3 single rose corsages

7 single rose boutineres

all for $265+ tax for pick up. I was very impressed!

@Beluga: I'm not sure but I could ask. I would guess that most places would, but I'm planing on staying at the Lonsdale Quay hotel the night before the wedding, so I can just walk down and pick them up. And maybe pick up some fruit and veggies at the same time? heehee!

Sure, I will post pictures!

As promised, here are pictures of my flowers! I absolutely loved them, and was sad when the day was over. Flowers by May in Lonsdale Quay market did a great job! They packed the corsages and bouts in rose petals which we used to decorate, and also included an extra bout for the groom (which I hadn't ordered or paid for!) I am drying them right now, but I know they won't be quite the same. My bouquet had 18 roses, and the bridesmaid's had 9, which worked out to be a good amount, I think. They weren't too heavy to carry. Here are a few pictures guests took:
