ROM - Flower Bouquet

One of the important elements for a wedding is the flower bouquet. They don't serve much purpose though. Rather, they give a bride something to hold on to during the march in and the photo taking.

Since our bridal studio is in Taiwan, the flower bouquet is not included in the package. So .. for the past 2 months I have been sourcing for quotes for flower bouquets for ROM. The thing is, once the florists heres the word ROM, the price of the flower bouquet will go up 3 folds and can reach 80+ 90+ depending on the types of flowers, number of flowers and the type of wrapping. Surprisingly, the prices for bare stalks (just a length of ribbon that winds round the flower stalks) where less material is used than the covered stalks are much more expensive.

I have almost given up on finding a bouquet that costs less than $70 but my guardian angel must have been looking out for me. I managed to find a 85 Flowers that sells these bouquets at less than $70 inclusive of 1 boutenniere for the groom, additional boutenniere or corsages are also half the price of other florists. We might also use them for our AD next year if we are happy with their service. 

I am now deciding on the following 2 bouquets to match my theme of Red, White, Black. But the 3rd bouquet also looks very nice with the peach rose buds in half bloom.




~~ Looking forward to being Mrs Tan ~~
