Jan's Flowers-Quote

[TMC81]

Hi,

 

I am shopping around for flowers and decorations for my wedding at ROR in March.  I got quotes from Jan's as well as Tai Flora and Jan's was half the price.  Here is the quote from Jan's:

 

 

Bridal Bouquet - tropical with orchids - $45

Matching for Groom -$10

3 Bridesmaids - tropical using chrysanthemums and carnations - 3 @$35 =$105

3 Groomsmen boutonnieres matching - 3@$8=$24

Beach decoration with fabric, lights and lanterns =$450

Delivery to RIU - $20

  I am just wondering why Jan's is so much cheaper, has anyone used them before?  If so, would you be able to post pictures??   Thanks, Tara

My understanding (based on this forum) is that Jan's is great to work with and their work is on the same level as Tai Flora.  However, ROR has a $200 vendor fee (I am getting married there late in February) so depending on the total quote, you may not be saving too much.  I am still trying to work on getting quotes from Jan's, Tai, and Shangri La (who they told me via email they are also contracted with).

 

Good luck deciding!

Beachbride, are you saying that the Riu doesn't charge the vendor fee for Shangria La?

I was just  told this week via an email that both Tai Flora or Shangria- La  are contracted with the ROR and neither would have vendor fees. Keisha emailed this to me. Has anyone used Shangria-la? I just emailed them and they responded promptly...havent gotten any prices yet though.

Hey Booschmit,

 

I also got a quote from Shangria-La and they were pretty comperable in price with Tai Flora.  Here is the quote Shangria-La gave me:

 

Bridal Bouquet:  Handheld bouquet of Ivory roses, fuchsia mini calla lilies and green cymbidium orchids -$185

 

3 Bridesmaid bouquets:  My girls’ dresses are fuchsia, so something colorful would be nice.Suggestion;-fuschia calas, orange roses, and ivory roses -$110 each

 

3 Groomsmen + 2 fathers boutonnieres.Cala lilly-$25 each or Rose boutonniere-$12 each

 

2 corsages for mothers-cala pin cosarges-$25 each, wrist cosarge-$30

 

Gazebo Décor:  If you could provide me with some suggestions here.3   arrangements  with cala lilies, roses & orchids $95 each

OPTION- 3 Arrangements with tropical flowers-$75 each

,

 

Chair Sashes:  50 fuchsia colored chair ties ($2.50 each)

 

Dinner   

 

Our dinner will be a T-shaped table.  Decorated with votive candles and a few cylinder vases with orchids and floating candles.  To provide the cylinders, votive holders and orchids will cost $30 / table,

To provide all mechanics for table plus flowers will cost $50

 

Beach Reception

 

We are having a beach party following our dinner.  I would like the beach decorated with fabric, lights and lanterns.  I found a picture, which I have included below…As shown in picture-$700

Hi is this Janice March, she was my decorator and she was excellent

[catererbride]

I got a fab quote from Jans Flowers too...almost unbelievably reasonable and I liked the way she laid out her quote.

 

One lady (independent planner) quoted us $800 per table for flowers!!!! $6000 in total for all flowers...no surprises that we didn't go for that option.

 

Shangria quote above seems a little high too but I guess it's all relative depending on budget?

 

Best of luck!

Thanks to everyone for posting these price quotes!  It gives a good idea of what my floral budget will look like. 

 

I also wanted to mention that after reading wedding reviews, it seems that many resort won't charge a vendor fee for florists if they are just dropping off, and most resorts will set up the arrangements according to your plans so that is something to consider.

Definitely good to know. Thanks for posting ladies!
