I ordered a bouquet online to be sent to my DP's and my DM sent me a picture of them to say thank you.
I was extremely disappointed considering what I had spent and said so. Only then did my DM say that she hadn't thought they weren't all that thinking I had probably spent £x amount to which I then said I spent considerably more.
She did say that there was also a hydrangea head that didn't really go with the rest of the arrangement, so she put that elsewhere, and a ridiculous amount of foliage, some of which she used in another bunch of flowers she received and the rest ended up in the green bin as it was too much.
I'd really appreciate some thoughts from you lovely bunch (see what I did there! 😜) as to what you think I should have been charged for these flowers? 🙏🏻

£40-£50 with a hydrangea and other foliage.

Actually maybe more than £50 now I look at it properly. There's about a dozen roses there plus other flowers and the hydrangea.

Only saying because paid similar recently... never again!

Difficult to tell, since your mum has removed about of it.

ILikeALemonWedgeInMyGin · 12/06/2024 11:39

I'd say £40/50 from the picture but if she's removed quite a bit then I'd assume you paid closer to £70

Debtfreeme · 12/06/2024 11:38

£60

JurassicFantastic · 12/06/2024 11:38

About £50

MatildaTheCat · 12/06/2024 11:38

£40-50?

However you aren’t showing the whole bouquet if she’s removed some of it. Hydrangeas are expensive and the foliage is important in creating a beautiful arrangement. Also the roses aren’t fully out which is a good thing as they will last longer.

FuckTheClubUp · 12/06/2024 11:38

That really shouldn’t cost more than £35. I bet the place you ordered it from made the flowers look much more impressive so I can see how you may have paid more!

£15 Freddie's Flowers flatpack box kind of thing

HeHeHeDidIt · 12/06/2024 11:37

I’m thinking, with the big hydrangea head, it was £35+. There are a lot of roses in there which will fill it out once they open up.
Flowers, plus delivery, are expensive.

I’ve just realised that’s a fireplace they are in front of so I’m revising my estimate to £50+

DoreenonTill8 · 12/06/2024 11:36

What did it look like with all the stuff it came with? I'd probably say about £65?

Sunnysummer24 · 12/06/2024 11:36

£40

LIZS · 12/06/2024 11:35

£30?
