How much would you pay for this bouquet?

[Disappointedflowers]

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? 🙏🏻

£30?

£40

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

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+

£15 Freddie's Flowers flatpack box kind of thing

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!

£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.

About £50

£60

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

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

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

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

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

£65

I'd guess about £40 but it sounds as if she took apart the bouquet and chucked out half of it, then rearranged the rest, so it is hard to know what it looked like on arrival.

And did the vase come with it? More again if so. With the removal of.the hydrangea and foliage it's actually half a bouquet really?

£30-40

£40-£50 assuming the bouquet was bigger when it arrived and came in a box etc. I usually keep the bouquet in the box with the oasis for a bit then decant when some of the flowers are looking a bit tired.

Can you share the pic from the website?

It’s very hard to say, given you said your mum removed a lot of it and it’s not the original bouquet!

I’d agree, removing half of it then posting a picture / asking the question isn’t really fair. Given that’s a fireplace it’s obviously a reasonable sized bouquet. With the other bits that were supplied and given that it was, presumably, delivered in a van from a local florist, I reckon £75 is about right

There’s 3 roses.

Op I’d guess about £60?

I don't think people expect vast swathes of foliage with the bouquet they're ordering, or to have that be something they're specifically and deliberately paying for.

Did the online service not show what it was going to send or allow you to select beforehand?

Thanks for all the replies. I agree that I don't know what it looked like on delivery. Unfortunately they were out when it was delivered and it was just left under the porch without any hydration so she rushed to get them in water.

Sounds like your Mum chucked a lot of what you paid for out. What's in the vase is probably a £50 bouquet but I bet she's thrown out £20 worth. Be mad at her, not the florist.
