Flowers for Cost

jopsey

Hey speckled egg , your pic's are lovely and to be honest I think your selling yourself short ,I think once you get your foot in the door you will have no problem getting work ... I am a florist with 20 years experiance and belive me I have seen some rubbish churned out by some so called "florist's"

Hi ,

You're pictures look great. I'm getting married in Woolhampton and I'm looking for someone to do the flowers for the church if you're interested? I would be happy to provide you with pictures of them for your portfolio too.

Thanks Jopsey, that's very sweet of you. I'm quite confident on the floristry side of things. More than anything, I just need practice pricing work!

When are you getting married, Graw? I'm in Thatcham, so not a million miles away!

I'm getting married on the 2nd of May this year. Ooh that's handy you're very close by!

Hi speckled egg, I agree with Jopsey. Although I have NO experience with flowers, I am sure it is the same as pricing up any other job. Obviously you are concerned with overpricing/underpricing yourself for work. I had 1 search on google and clicked on the first link and brought up some guide prices a bride an groom would expect to pay

Am sure you could search for moreand get a better idea of prices etc.

I expect a lot more florists will give you a better idea. Make sure that you keep your books up to date for the tax man!!!
