I think I should post the names of the florists who I have visited for quotes as it may help someone from Worcester. I have just come back from visiting Passion Flowers in Worcester. I had my phone ready to show them pictures of bouquets that I like. They gave me a quote for this bouquet

Around £60 for this bouquet and its extra if I want pearls or diamante in the centre or other detailing.

For the bridesmaids bouquet, I told them I only want little ones so that mine stands out alot more. They quoted £25 for a rose bouquet.

For the buttonholes - Its £5 each for A* roses. If I want a cheaper rose its £3 each.

When getting quotes, its a good idea to tell them what your budget is. Ours is £350 max for flowers. She said its a shame that most of our budget will be spent on buttonholes cos I said we wanted around 50. Of course I asked for a discount as I was getting so many. She got the price down to £4 each for the big rose buttonhole.

I need to look at the numbers for the buttonholes again. I think £60 for my bouquet and £25 for bridesmaids is reasonable. Then again, I suppose the 1st florist I went to could have done the same price for bouquets if I told her how much I actually wanted to pay. I think with florists you can always get a better deal on the price but only if you ask.

I also went to Floral & Hardy’s and Bumble Bees Flowers but they were both closed. If I had to pick out of the 2 florists, I would pick Passion Flowers as their roses look alot nicer and bigger. Plus I think I can get her to do me a better deal on the buttonholes.

Note :: Dave has gone to Austria for 1 week with his mates on a snowboarding holiday so its just me, myself and I doing the wedding planning this week =(

Hi Sally,

The picture of the bouquet you want to order looks amazing! White roses are really elegant. The prices that your florist quoted sound good - doesn’t sound extortionate! I’m sure you’ll do fine doing more wedding planning without your fiance, but it is good he is getting involved a lot too. It looks like you’re nearly there

Hi Maggie,

I wanted to go for a simple and elegant look. I think the 2nd florist is cheaper, but if we can get a better deal from them then thats great. I never hurts to ask for a discount. I’m doing fine organising things without him, I just haven’t been doing any major wedding decisions. Yes I can see the end of the tunnel LOL. Not that much to do now.

Sally
