Today, my goal was to look for the cheapest way I could make centerpieces and bouquets and my inspiration was this photo I found online (LI,2009). I placed a telephone call to the local florist and asked how much it would cost for the florist to design bouquets and centerpieces and also researched pricing cost per item for me to design it myself and here is the information from my research.

Brides, if you do not have the time to create a beautiful centerpiece or bouquets, hire a florist or hire a silk florist. If you are a do it yourself bride, you could host a design party night with your bridesmaids and maid of honor to create beautiful bouquets and centerpieces.
