Title: CALLING All Brides !!!
Post by: Daisychain on August 13, 2010, 08:23:36 AM
Me again!

I just wondered what the sort of pricing is for flowers in Fethiye? My wedding planner will take me to a florist next month to choose my bouquet but I have no idea how much to budget for this. I have asked my wedding planner but she's hesitant to answer the question as I am sure it depends on what flowers you go with. Having never done this before in either UK or Turkey, I really don't know what to expect to pay.

Anyone out there who has recently got married and can give me a rough guide on what they paid for flowers? Thank you!

Ouch! I was kind of hoping it wasn't going to be as much as that. Did your daughter go with a fairly big bouquet? And did the bridesmaids also have traditional bouquets or single a few simple flowers?

It was my son it also included 12 button holes for the men they were very nice bouquets and table flowers, I would think the biggest expense was the decorating of the arch where they got married and the table flowers

My sister is getting married in Calis 2 weeks tomorrow! She has gone for silk for the bouquet and bridesmaids corsages and button holes as it was going to be a faff to organise in Turkey and they've already had to go twice for planning meetings in advance! There will be fresh flowers on the tables and 'adorning' the venue. If you want more info email Shelli via the forum.

Sorry Mark! I didn't pay proper attention to your previous posting that it was your SON's wedding! Ok I'm panicking less now because I will not be having that many flowers. Sounds like a beautiful wedding.

Cavfan, how do I find Shelli via the forum? I can see how to send you a private message through your profile, but not sure how to find someone called Shelli?

Good luck with the flowers

I can't remember how much my flowers were when I got married in 2007 but they were a fraction of the cost of the UK. I got them from a florist called Acelya which is near the cinema in Fethiye.

Hi Donna, have you any pictures of your bouquet? I am not sure what I want yet, and not sure what the 'norm' is in Turkey. Or if no pictures, was it a bunch, or a shower of flowers?

The florists in Fethiye charge a certain amount of lira per flower so you can work it around your budget.
It is about 50-100TL depending on the flowers that you choose

We got married at the Golden Moon hotel last year. If you go on their website there are some pictures of the flowers we had. Can't remember what the cost was but know it was a fraction of what we would have paid here at home. There is a close up of my bouquet. Mete is a member on here, gmoon and am sure he wouldn't mind if you emailed him and asked him who the florist was.
