How much does each hydrangea stem usually cost?

I want my centerpieces to have about three hydrangeas and when I went to the LA Flower Marker I found white hydrangea bunches for about $6 but colored hydrangeas (pink and purple) for about $12. Each bunch was about 4-5 stems, so for white hydrangeas it averages to $1.50-$2 and colored for $3-$3.50 per stem. Is this right? I was looking into having a florist arrange 3 hydrangeas and 6 roses in vases that i have botten (rose Im sure are cheaper around $1.00-$1.50 per stem). They said it would be $35-$40 isnt this way too much, I understand labor cost but are they totally ripping me off or is this how much it will cost? I would think as florist they would even get flowers even cheaper since they buy by bulk right? I am totally wrong by asking them to do it for at least $25-$30?

See if you can get a florist that works from home? I did that and got great centerpieces for about $60 total cost.. I did however, bring my own containers...I got married in Las Vegas and brought home the buckets from each casino and had arrangements in those.. My guests took everything home ! Which is something you can do as well.. Instead of renting containers.. Then guests can take the whole arrangement home ! good luck
Reply:No, I think you are totally right. I mean labor is something to consider but it just sounds like they are totally just trying to get more money. If I were you I would insist on them lowering their prices or just find a florist who would do it for cheaper. Don't get defeated just keep trying!
Reply:average cost is between 3 and 8 dollars each
