Floral Rant

PS - I know that $80 for a custom bouquet isn’t expensive in comparison, but the fact that it’s identical apart from the color and yet the cost more than doubled is what gets me

This is the main reason I'm going with artificial flowers for the bouquets, and doing non-floral decor. Flowers are beautiful, but too expensive for something that's going to die in a few days.

View Quoted Comment Exactly! I’m looking into artificial flowers as well, I don’t see a reason to spend hundreds of dollars on something that will die soon. Our floral budget is $300 for a bridal, 6 bridesmaids, and a tossing bouquet. I thought that was going to be easy but it’s proving difficult

That's why we are doing fake flowers. Went to Michael's for the flowers for the centerpieces and everything else on etsy for $400, got bouquets, corsages and bouts.

Artificial flowers can sometimes cost just as much if not even more than real flowers.

View Quoted Comment Wow! You don’t happen to be in the Dallas area, do you? Lol

View Quoted Comment That’s what I’m finding 😕

View Quoted Comment Aww no!! I’m in Florida!

I am going with fake flowers because the store i bought all the flowers at is going out of business so i got all my flowers on sale

I was shocked when I saw how expensive real flowers could get! Smh, I don't care for flowers much anyway so I'm planning on having artificial ones!

My bouquet is $215 Lol but I want all my expensive flowers in my bouquet. It's insane flower costs. I am thinking of cutting back certain items again because it is just ridiculous and I am trying to save a little more money in the flower budget.

View Quoted Comment Wow!! I’m sure it’s a stunning bouquet
