Flowers for Wedding?

I was just wondering if anyone has been quoted for calla lillies and pink peonies for their wedding...especially if you're getting married in late may.





I just gave a florist my flower ideas and she has to get back with me but I'm wanting to know some prices to compare.





She already warned me that pink peonies are expensive.





Please help!

You can buy them whole sale from the internet.





Simply google them./ I was just seeing a great place online yesterdaym they were selling 400 mini-calla lilies for only $200...and free shipping. The long stemmed one were more expensive, but not that much.





Sorry that I don;t have the link right now, let me find it and I will publish it later

Reply:Prices may vary depending on the area you live in. Have you thought about silk florals? That may solve the buggy problem.





I have seen many different pieces from Jeanies florals and I would highly reccomend her.You can't even tell that she uses silks, they are that good!





Otherwise I would suggest to call around to other florists in your area to see what prices are like.





Good luck!
Reply:do something else- peonies are buggy and floppy
Reply:I lived in the Texas panhandle and I had calla lilies/roses and hydrangeas in my wedding. I chose the hydrangeas as an alternative to the peonies (they are both large flowers, and in a bouquet, they give the same effect). My bouquet was going to be well over $300 with the peonies, but by changing over to hydrogen's, my bouquet was $100. Hope this helps!
Reply:Well actually you picked the two most expensive flowers out there. Next is stephanotis. They are a bit pricey and depending on what you want to spend you may want to opt for different kinds. I wanted stock, roses and stephantois. I thought I was gonna get a hugh bouquet for 300 bucks. But I was very upset to see it was no bigger than the bridesmaids when they dropped it off. So you may want to rethink your choices.
Reply:Pink peonies are expensive...calla lillies can be expensive but are usually about midrange. You have definately not chosen budget friendly blooms.





You can't compare your prices to people on Y!answers because they are in completely diff. parts of the country. They will have diff. seasons, diff. shipping costs, diff. flowers that are grown locally, everything.





What you need to do is go to several other florists in your area and get their quotes on the exact same package and compare that to what your chosen florist comes back with.
Reply:We need more information. How many arrangments? How many bouquets?





Those are too very expensive flowers and you should be prepared for a expensive quote.





Also be aware the peonies open up very quickly and if you are in an area that is warm and humid they may open fully before you want them too.
Reply:silk is cheaper, start as early as possible and they can watch for them to be on sale. add some roses to save on the cost also.
