I just did a wedding this past Sunday. While setting up at the venue, the last wedding was on their way out. There was 3 centerpieces left for the grabbing. I asked one of the staff if I could have one and she said sure no problem. I took it home and was wondering what the recipe was, as this was beautiful. So I am wondering what everyone else would charge for something with this recipe.

3 open cut white calla lilies
17 vendella roses
6 cool water roses
10 magenta stock
14 purple lisianthus
21 white hydrangea
4 purple hydrangea
6 purple dendrobium orchids
5 white dendrobium orchids
16 salal
2 bricks of oasis
1 8" container from royal imports
1 24"H trumpet vase with flared top

I came up with around $500.00. Does that sound about right? Just curious if my pricing is on target. Thanks!
 
I'm at $525.00 but depends on the rental fee for the trumpet vase or if they purchase it.
 
WOW !! I'm going to re-check myself - I did add that wrong. Missed the hydrangea and looked up trumpet vase price, now I'm up at $610.00
 
it was a rental vase. they were all laying outside when the wedding was over. so i added the actual vase price as the rental.
 
all I can say is Wow.....can't imagine doing a wedding with table designs like that.......... Wow!! (geez, I'm so small town :( )

same here rhonda, I looked at the list and said "a fortune" let alone how many tables x $$ = $$$$$$
 
Here it would be $775. Although depending on quantity, I may get a better price on some of the items...even so I would start at 800 each, and adjust if necessary.
 
i got about 450.00 without labor-set up and figuring in for extras that were added in case some broke--For us minimum of 650.00 depending on how set up--more if designed on site
 
Can't even imagine someone coming in for centerpieces at that price. I would say around $650, maybe $600 if there were at least 20 tables. But then you have to figure if a bride is ordering centerpieces like that, did she have a budget for the centerpieces.
Just think of all the vases you could fill using all those flowers. Must have been beautiful!
 
$750.00.....we did 10 of these "very similar", about 2 years ago...bride gave them as "gifts" to the lucky person that "happened" to be sitting on that "special" chair at each table...the rest got $50.00 gas cards, with thank you's attached.....quite thoughtful!!
 
I'd love to know the break down of anybodys price less than $800. Assuming the vase was included in the price. And my price was only with a 20% labor mark up.

I don't have a picture of it :( You had to see how the staff at the catering hall was handling it. Oh my. They just tossed them around like a football. My heart as cringing.
