FLORISTS / FLOWERS PART 5

[xsugar]

hi sis shygirlme, that happened to me to. hindi din kinaya ng budget ko si Ate Inah na mabait:) so i look for non-fresh flower bouquet for me and my entou. i found her and was satisfied. nakatipid ako, 10k budget ko but i only spent 6k

[hermione28]

Anyone knows kung gaano kamahal (haha ganyan talaga ng tanong straight, kung gaano kamahal haha.   ) ang flowers sa mga known and very good florist? Like Teddy Manuel, Gideon Hermosa.

Gumagawa ba sila kahit bride's boquet and groom's boutonniere lang? Plan ko sana to get my boquet sa kilalang magaling na florist.

Then sa iba yung ento.

[meixin]

Ang quote sa akin ni Teddy Manuel was around 400k++ for 70 guest tables/ church/ entourage/ VIP/ backdrop. Double ni scenta who quoted me mga 200k++

[prettylove]

^hi sis hermione28, usually high end stylists starts with 35k like teddy and gideon starts with 45k sa bridal with entourage flowers and i read it somewhere here na if bridal bouquet only starts with 15k.

[hermione28]

meixin - wow grabe 400k 70 guest?! too much! 

prettylove - so possible? gumagawa sila ng bridal boquet lang? Sige nga try ko mag inquire ng bridal boquet and groom's boutonniere lang.

thanks!

[meixin]

^hehe nalula nga din ako, pero wala lang alam ko naman na mahal sila, nacurious lang ako kung how mahal kaya nagpaquote ako 

[prettylove]

^i'm not sure with gideon and teddy sis because i inquired for the whole entourage rate but if you want a well known florist i think vatel manila allows a bouquet only. hehe

[caleeice]

Hehe hindi naman siguro 70 guests lang. Baka 70 tables = 700 guests

Yeah agree with the recommendation, ganda rin gawa ni Vatel!

[rowan]

hmm so kung 35-45k ang high end florists for church and ento, ok na kaya ang 25-30k for midrange florists? requirement ko lang are all tulips for bridal bouquet and baby's breath garden aisle for the church.

[meixin]

Hehe hindi naman siguro 70 guests lang. Baka 70 tables = 700 guests

Yeah agree with the recommendation, ganda rin gawa ni Vatel!

ahh oo sorry malabo ba pagkasabi? 70 tables nga yun

[Missus O]

@rowan - yup 25-30k is reasonable. Meron naman mas mababa pa, especially if you are not picky sa flowers. Downside lang pala  sis ng tulips, mabilis sya malanta kaya dapat di sya tanggalin sa vase nya until paalis ka na, ingat lang sa water droplets para di mabasa gown mo.

Yhoan's of tagaytay quoted me 24k for church and entourage na yan. I would have to pay additional 3k kasi I requested for peonies and ranunculus for my bouquet. Although I know may mad mura pa, madami na kasi syang inclusions kaya nagustuhan ko

[rowan]

Thank you Missus O:) Aside from Jacq's Florals, I also waiting for Fullblooms by Inah's quote:)

[msdianne]

I've attended a wedding with high end stylist super ganda talaga. But it's the least of my priority since 250-350K up their rates likes Teddy Manuel , Gideon etc.

Budget is nothing like that.

What I did I opt for 4 suppliers to do my flowers and styling.

Church: San Ramoune Flower Shop (15-18K basic rate)
Entourage: Vatel Manila (36K)
Table Styling: Nina of KbyC (1500-2500 per table)
Reception Styling: FJ Sionson (65K and up)

It will be a mixed of low, mid and high end too but I'm happy enough that they can deliver without breaking the bank

Finally naka pag book na ko ng flowers yesterday sa bridal fair. Initially, I was thinking of getting vatel manila or Teddy Manuel (quoted me 35k for 6pax plus 1 flower girl)  for entourage and then a cheaper florist na lang for the Church.

But I came across with Fulblooms by Inah sa fair yesterday and  I remember lagi ko siyang nababasa dito and sa w@wie din. Madami positive feedback sa shop nila kaya nag pa quote ako. Nakita ko din yung samples ng bouquets nila and very pretty and photogenic din talaga. For my whole entourage and church, they quoted me Php30,150 lang plus ang dami pang freebies (offertory flowers, fruits, boutonnieres, car flowers, flowers sa unity candle, etc). Super natuwa ako and the person na nakausap ko named Rachel (anak daw siya ni Inah), super bait!

[rowan]

hi wednesdei, ilan members ng entourage mo? madami church decors mo? lastly, ano flowers gamitin? im still waiting for inah's quote rin. busy lang daw siya sa bridal fair:)

[biskybear]

Booked Ms. Inah too during the bridal fair. Got her at 35k for my bridal bouquet, entourage and church setup. My entourage consists of 2 moms, 1 dad, 12 pairs of ninongs and ninangs, 8 pairs of abays, 1 flower girl and 4 boys. Church set up for 18 pews, altar flowers, unity and altar candles, offertory flowers and fruits as well as loose petals, throwing bouquet and car bouquet.

The flowers i think are a mix of peonies, english roses etc. I just told them i dont want tulips because i hear they can wilt easily.

They'll be transferring din the flowers sa church to the reception para di sayang.

I plan to get them for the reception din kaso i need to settle some venue stuff pa kaya sabi ko to follow na yun but definitely ill be getting it from them.

It's true what everyone here's saying, super bait nga nila Ms. Inah. You can talk to her talaga and not feel judged for haggling.

This planning thing's so exciting especially because ive been blessed with super accomodating suppliers! it pays to have a long engagement din pala hahaha

[rowan]

gosh thats super sulit! will wait for her quote:)

[wednesdei]

hi wednesdei, ilan members ng entourage mo? madami church decors mo? lastly, ano flowers gamitin? im still waiting for inah's quote rin. busy lang daw siya sa bridal fair:)

Hi sis rowan. Sayang the copy of our contract na kay h2b but eto yung nareremember ko. We will be using all imported flowers and lahat ng entourage and ninangs ko naka mini bouquet. My flower girl naman head crown and basket. Free na yung boutonnieres for all the gents. My bouquet naman cascading.

For entourage we have:
1 bridal bouquet
2 moms
1 dad
4 bridesmaids
4 groomsmen
8 ninangs
8 ninongs
1 flower girl
3 bearers

Church set up for 24 pews. I have high and low flowers, alternate sila.  Every pew gusto ko may flowers eh. And then 10 lamps with candles. Free na din yung altar flowers, unity and altar candles, offertory flowers and fruits as well as loose petals, throwing bouquet and car bouquet like sis biskybear.

If I want to add an arch daw, add 6k ata. They can transfer all the flowers din daw from church to the reception at no extra cost. But mag ask lang sila ng crew meal for their staff.

sa mga nakikita ko sa FB and IG ngayon,  maganda gawa ni Gideon.

i got Teddy last 2012 at around 230thou ata yon. lahat na yan. church, ento, recep etc. for 200 guests

[monopoly19]

Yes, mabait talaga si Ate Inah. I was supposed to get her but we didn't agree on the flowers and set up on the contract. Nagkaroon kami ng he said she said thing. She refunded our downpayment naman. I was just thankful na it was an amicable "separation". Mahirap kasi yung may galit sayo yung supplier.
