Default Can I get an estimate for a price of flowers for a sunflower wedding?

Hey! I am going to be doing my own centerpieces and decorations. What I really need is my bride's bouquet, groom's boutinerre, 3 groomsmen boutinerres, the two father's boutinerres, and 4 (we each have 2 moms, lol) mother's corsages. My bridesmaids are going to carry a solitary brown centered sunflower... I want the focus to totally be sunflowers (my theme). My colors are chartreuse and butter yellow, so really I just want sunflowers and maybe some pink pops. But not a whole lot of pink... Can anyone give me an estimate on this? For my bouquet, by the way, I really like the look of the really round bouquets. A cascading one isn't needed. Thanks!

Default Price of Flowers

As far as the pricing of your flowers, I can't really give you an estimate of what it should cost. Each designer charges differently based on geographic location, designer's experience, where they are getting their flowers supplied from... the list goes on because of the fact that there are many variables that go into the cost of flowers.

Here's what I can suggest however: if you know exactly what you are looking for, you can either call a few designers and get some pricing, or meet with a few people to pin-point what you will be spending where you are located. No need to meet with five different people. Maximum three of your favorites. Check out some designers websites to screen first who might be a good candidate to work with.

Best of luck, and hope this helps out!

Default DIY wedding flowers

After doing some self-shopping for my own wedding, I came across wholeblossoms.com which can give you prices on sunflowers and all other types of flowers. They specialize in DIY brides who are doing their own wedding flowers. Good luck!
