Florist question-Is this a good price for...

I went to my forst florist today :) and he quoted me $2400 for the following:
-18 centerpeices- set low-medium height in pretty fat silver vases- hydrangeas, roses, sweet pea, and touch of freesia for color
-My Bouquet- different colored roses and seph-a-something LOL, the small flowers with the pearls in the middle)
-MOH and 4 Bridesmaids-a cross between my bouquet and the centerpieces
-Gazebo to be decorated with tulle and flowers across the top entrance way
-4 poles of chuppah to be decorated with greenery and flowers
-rose petals for flower girl, card table, cake table
-votives and rose petals for cocktail hr tables
-roses and hydrageas for the cake
-8 columns for the ceremony (4 on each side) draped with tulle (my centerpieces will be used for ceremony and the reception to save $$)
-14 bouts for the guys
-flowers for the sweetheart table

I think thats it LOL
Thanks guys :)

I wish I could get that quote. I've been getting for around the same thing 200-400 dollars more than the quote you were given. Can you FM me who it is. I'm still looking. Does it include tax & delivery fees?

Re: Florist question-Is this a good price for...

I forgot to mention that my quotes were for only 12 centerpieces not 18

You got a hell of a great deal!!!
