Are orchids very expensive to have in bouquets?
Orchids are some of the more expensive flowers, but they're in season in Florida through spring, so that's a good thing for you. Some species of orchids are less expensive than other, so you might consider using the cheaper variety.

Reply:Yeah They are the more expensive choice especially if you want them in an off season...
Reply:Yes, they are. But it depends upon the variety, too.


I had a mixed bouquet, with a few cymbidium orchids in it.
Reply:Depends on the season, just before Easter, they are plentiful, and rather inexpensive. In April, when supply is low, they want to charge $18-20 per head (unless you order hundreds).
Reply:it really depends on the season.. if they are not in season they are very expensive. But if that is what you like. You can have a bouquet with just a few orchids. Your florist would be the best call.
Reply:Yes, the flowers themselves are quite expensive. Also they need to be wired to be put into a bouquet, so it costs more to have your florist put them together. They are probably one of the most expensive flowers to have for a wedding.
Reply:I believe they are the most expensive flower you can buy! BUT- maybe have a few in your bouquet with some greenery and then have matching color OTHER flowers for other stuff.
Reply:They are beautiful, but I would ask the florist about how long they can stay without wilting. I think they are temperamental flowers.
