Absolutely respect work of florists. Understand costing, arranging, ensuring survival of bridal party bouquets takes skill, talent, artistry. Is big responsibility.
Know it's big day. Realize should look special.
But shouldn't hair, make up, dress and veil accomplish that? How far does this go?
Balked when read this: "Typical cost of flowers for service and reception is about 10 percent of the total wedding cost". By today's count, with 25 days to go, that would hover somewhere around $1,000.
Can my guests eat the flowers? Simply cannot justify $85 for bouquet will hold for 15 minutes max.
Would like to make own arrangement on wedding day. Picture giggles with bridesmaids, nipping sips of Prosecco. YouTube great teacher. But have been assured crafting on wedding day is crazy...
Am waiting for savvy step Mum (who has taken project off hands), to confirm she can work with $200 budget for 6 bouquets: 2 flower girls, 3 bridesmaids, 1 bride. Something about purchasing stems from flower auction day of... Would really like that $200 to include 9 boutonnieres. Have not conveyed that to courageous step Mum.
Am currently accepting all tips on how to procure flowers...cheap. Am not attached to type. Am completely flexible on colour scheme. Happy to go with what's in season on the day...anyone?
Frugally frustrated...
