Answer 1

THERE IS NO WAY YOU CAN BE QUOTED A PRICE ON FLOWERS WITH OUT KNOWING WHAT YOU WANT. EMAIL ME AND ILL HELP YOU OUT. ITS WHAT I DO FOR A LIVING. SOME OF THESE ANSWER ARE ABSOLUTE BULL..

Answer 2

It varies from area to area. It also depends on what suits and flowers you chose.

Flowers that are in season will be cheaper than those out of season. And do not forget silk flowers are a nice alternative if you can not afford the real ones.

Here is a website with a few flowers and their season

http://www.wedsteps.com/library_092.asp

I did one fall wedding with all fresh flowers, some in season some out. We had 2 centerpieces for the altar, 5 bridal attendants bouquets, the bride's bouquet, 7 boutonnieres, and then 23 corsages/boutonnieres for the the family. It cost about $700. We doubled the use of the attendants bouquets by using them as centerpieces on the head and family table. We simply placed them in vases to keep them fresh.

I did another fall wedding with 2 centerpieces, 6 bridal attendants, the bride's, 8 boutonnieres, and then 19 corsages/boutonnieres for the family. We also draped garland from the ceiling supports. We also made a huge wreath for the door. We also doubled the use of the bouquets as decorations for family tables and the head table. Those flowers cost only $300. The difference? Silk flowers were used. The bride, her attendants, and I made all the arrangements ourselves.

Now suits are a whole different thing. Normally the groom's attendants pay for their own. Some rental shops do offer a special that if all the groom's attendants rent there the groom does get his free. Sometimes there is a minimum amount of suits/tuxs you must rent before getting his free.

You are looking at anywhere from $40-$200 depending on the style you choose.

You should also check with the place you plan to buy your gown. They might have some kind of special about buying all your bridesmaid's gowns there.

I hope this helps. Congratulations on your wedding and best whishes for many happy years together!

Answer 3

Suits can be found inexpensively if you go to a men's suit broker or some tux shops will rent suits/tuxedos for fairly cheap and throw in the groom's for free sometimes.

Flowers depend on a LOT of things: the type of flower (some are more delicate/rarer than others) and season(if the flower is out of season and you have to go to a nursery, it will be WAY more expensive), the size/quantity and number & style of the boquets and arrangements, how far in advance you can assemble the arrangements, etc.

You should visit some florists SOON and start making some choices - the faster you do this the more you'll be able to save....its kind of like panic shopping at Christmas - if you wait at the last minute you WILL overspend...there's no way around it.

Answer 4

It really depends on the type of flower that you are using. My bouquet was around 200 dollars and I think my bridesmaids were half that much but mine were silk flowers and very elegant. You can view my flowers on my 360 page if you would like. Different flowers cost different prices. Example a rose is not going to cost the same amount as baby's breath. Baby's breath (if you are not familiar) is something that a florist would use to help stand out the rose. A rose would also not cost the same as a daisy. Also silk flowers cost different then real flowers. Silk flowers you can usually get for about $1.99 for a steam. Plus, you get to keep the flowers forever! Real flowers you have to dry if you want to keep them.

Suits come in different prices as well. Along with tuxes. Tuxes you can rent for about 60.00 (which is the cheapest) this is just the simple tux. You would really have to check this out also prices can vary depending on areas. There are lots of different styles. We just let the guys wear there suits that they already had my husband bought his for $200.00 for 2 suits and got to keep his in the end. ( We had bought them for something else)

Answer 5

Why don't you use silk flowers? Look at this website http://www.jcpworks.co.uk/index.phtml - all the photos are silk flowers and they're AMAZING! I'm using them for my wedding! It's so much cheaper. For fresh flowers you'll be looking at around £65/70 for a bridal bouquet and about £40 or more for bridesmaids. Corsages & buttonieres are about £7/8 each. Pedestals for churchs can be from £50 upwards. Hire your suits. It's ten times cheaper.Seriously, when is your fiancé going to wear a morning suit again?

Answer 6

hiya,
it all depends on what you want, and what you can budget for - if you want the full top hat and tails, for all males 'important players' it can be very expensive. If they can wear their own suits then it will just cost what you wear. Brides dresses again cost anything from reasonable to over the top - it does depend on what type of wedding you want. I tried a lovely dress on that was going to be perfect until i realised that it was £1900, - far to expensive for my budget for one day. I found someone to make me a dress that was abosolutley lovely and perfect and she only charged me £200 for the material and labour.
Again, flowers can really cost - it depends what type of wedding you are having - a large formal affair, or small informal affair. If large - you have flowers at the church, the reception place, table decorations etc. Then there are the bouquets, bridesmaids, button holes, flowers for the mothers of each of you, any bouquets for anyone who has done anything special to help. It could cost flower wise alone anything from £250 - £1500 ( i did have a friend who paid £2460 for her flowers alone, oh and yes still paying for their wedding 3 yrs later!!!)
With weddings the world is your oyster - good luck :)

Answer 7

The suit if you are renting is about $100-500 if you want to stay in the affordable range. The flowers- it depends on how much you want. If you want the whole place decorated then it will run you about $1000-3000. I wish you the best of luck. I got married last November. I spent well over $5000 on it. $1000 was for the church.

Answer 8

I spent $40 on my flowers. I got them all at a flower shop instead of having them done by a florist. I made all the bouquets myself.

If you rent a tux, they start at about $140. I used to work in a tux shop, and the last thing I wanted was for my husband to wear a tux. So instead, we had the guys in suits. We waited for a sale, and they all bought the same black suit for $100. Not only did they save money, but they got to keep it. They were really, really happy about that.

Be creative and flexible, and you can end up saving a ton of money.

Answer 9

I had an outdoor wedding, so I had a lot of natural decorations. But for my flowers (included my bouquet, 4 bridesmaids bouquets, 6 boutonnieres, a rose petal aisle, and a few flowers for the reception, I paid around $400 (in FL).
Traditionally, the men in the wedding party pay for their own tuxes, but if you book them all together, you get the groom's for free (but we rented each tux for about $90 a piece). Hope this helps!

Answer 10

You're kidding, right? Seriously, it depends on the flowers, and it depends on the suits. You can buy a suit for around $100 at a discount men's store (like Men's Warehouse), I'm not sure on renting them, but it may be cost effective for everyone to just buy one, then they've got it. Flowers can be anything from $100 to over $100,000 for super dooper weddings. It really depends on what you select. I would establish a budget, determine the total, and then break it down as to what you have to spend on each component (dress, floral, music, food, transportation, etc.) and then stick to it. I believe if you go to www.theknot.com, there's a budget builder worksheet in there. Here's an article they posted about budget as well. Just figure your budget, and then stick to it, and you'll be fine! Good luck to you!

Answer 11

All my flowers (mainly daisies with a few roses) which were my bouqet, two bridesmaids bouqets, 5-6 boutineeres (however you spell it), and 4 roses that were carried by the mothers (2 each) and a tossing bouqet that was roughly the size of mine was a little over $300.

My husband bought a suit with a nice shirt, tie, belt, & shoes for probably $290. We bought the suit at JcPenney.
