Since we've all been exposed to weddings in one way or another...opinions...Updated!
looking at the below pictures (I know theyr'e small - apologies) how much do you think the centerpiece is worth? As a guest, as a former bride - how much do you think such a piece would be?
The flowers are carnations...

I woud think less than $40, but it's hard to tell how many carnations are used. I guess it depends on the florist, too. I think my centerpecies were only $65 dollars ( 3 years ago) & they were bigger & had a mix of flowers.
ETA- I have no idea if it is labor intesive to get the arrangement that round, and if that adds to the cost.

Re: Since we've all been exposed to weddings in one way or another...opinions...

$25-30 tops
my low CPs were full of all different flowers--calla lillies, roses, and others i don't know the name of for $50 each. AND they had votive candles and rose petals. and that was last year
for a carnation CP i wouldn't pay more than $25.

Re: Since we've all been exposed to weddings in one way or another...opinions...
Thank you all - I just wanted to make sure I wasn't being too objective...
Just to answer some questions:
- Just one color carnations (hot pink)
- The florist supposedly used 182 carnations to create the lush-look
- It's in a glass martini-type of bowl
- it's 8"
- and he wants to charge $200 - yes...$200 per piece...
My friend asked me to take a guess at how much they were running her....
My jaw dropped (b/c obviously I couldn't help it) - and I advised my friend "hey listen, you have to spend, by all means, but I will tell you right now, as a guest at your wedding...I wouldn't think you spent more than $45 on the CP."

No way! Tell your friend to find a new florist they are ripping her off.

pfffffft - for carnations?!?!?! Are you JOKING?!?
I don't know - I always think of carnations as the "4th grade graduation" flower. Definitely not wedding flowers.
