Do you think $865 for these arrangements is too much money?

I am quoting the customer on Fresh Light Pink Tea Roses, Pink Gerbera Daisies, and White Roses with pink Tips This also includes Ivy and Tree Fern as Greenery.





This is what the price includes:


One Brides Bouquet


One Complimentary Toss Away Bouquet


8 Brides Maids Bouquets


5 Corsages


9 Bouts


One Main Table Centerpiece


One Guest Book Centerpiece


Cake Flowers


Total Price Including Taxes: $865. 00 All this includes Labor and Setup. My area is in South Texas.

FlowersBirthday FlowersSympathy Flowersim a florist and would charge


bride-$75.00


Bridesmaids-$40.00


Toss bouquet-free


corsages-$10.00 each


bouts-$7.00 each


main table-$100.00


Guestbook-$50.00


Cake-$50.00


so total would come out to be around $700.00(before taxes) and im in los angeles...so What i know los angeles is a little more expensive than Texas...see if they can give you a little better of a discount...otherwise its resonable. !
Reply:Price depends on many things. Geographic location, how simple or elaborate each piece is, whether the flowers are in season or not and if they are usually expensive vs not, how many of each item.





In many areas of the country that would be considered dirt cheap, especially if it includes labor and setup. Why don%26#039;t you figure out what other vendors are charging and then go from there? I would be very cautious if I went to a vendor and they didn%26#039;t know what the competition%26#039;s rates were.
Reply:have you thought of doing the flowers yourself? I got a great deal on mine. I only spent 400 on flowers and that will a make

Reply:Good advice: Call up several local bridal stores that manage this service and pretend you are a bride or bridesmaid trying to get a quote. Comparing with competitive stores will help you determine the going price. Also, to make you more competitive, and spread your name quickly, throw in something for free--like buy 4 corsages and get the 5th free; or free maids small token gifts, something like that.
Reply:Nope sounds pretty good to me. That%26#039;s relatively inexpensive. Mine was double that for my bouquet, throw away, 4 maids bouquets, 8 bouts, 4 corsages, flower petals for flower girl, cake dec flowers, 20 table centerpieces, altar arrangements and set up and delivery. Can%26#039;t think if there is anything else. Sounds like a good price to me!c++
