I looked up wholesale prices--I even made an excel spread sheet--this revealed very little except for how much I don't know! So here's my attempt:<br /><br />(least to most)<br />1 ($190) - it's the simplest and the smallest, and the stem embellishments are least expensive.<br />4 ($225) - it's an average size with a number of filler and in-season flowers. The moire ribbon is less expensive than silk. (I counted all of the brooches as being about the same price, since I think there are a lot of options out there with Etsy and such).<br />3 ($260) - some filler here, but a pretty large size and the silk... if my research means anything there are some more expensive flowers here as well<br />2 ($315) - the largest, you can see how many stems there are; calla lilies and ranunculus are expensive and ranunculus are seasonal; plus the little jewels probably cost more because I would guess they're labor intensive.<br /><br />Great contest!

I picked 1 as least expensive - $175 - it contains just two flowers and is wrapped in a simple satin ribbon. Then number 3 - $215 - I was only familiar with a few of the flowers in this bouquet and it contained more green like flowers with berries and kale doesn't seem to me to be on the expensive side. Then number 4 - $275 - I love this bouquet but it contains hydrangea's which suprising to me is rather expensive. This also contains the vintage broch which adds to the cost. Lastly, I rank #2 as the most expensive - $300 - Honestly, the jewels in the bouquet seem to add more price to the bouquet (don't know if it actually does) and it contains a wide variety of flowers including ranunculus and calla lilles which I think are expensive.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09589949286630075835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1271922068126967782.post-71641901010258439782012-01-10T11:43:11.115-08:002012-01-10T11:43:11.115-08:001-$150 It looks Grapefruit/Melon sized and is simp...1-$150 It looks Grapefruit/Melon sized and is simple with just roses and a white ribbon<br />3-$225 It is also smaller Melon sized and has a lot of greenery, which is cheaper than flowers. It does have the broch, but it is a simple broch.<br />2-$300. It looks to be getting closer to volleyball sized and has a fancier broch and ribbon. It also has a lot of different flowers.<br />4-$350. This one is also closer to volleyball sized and contains seasonal flowers. Also the ribbon and broch are the most fancy on this one. <br /><br /><br />In the comments section of this blog posting on Facebook, put these bouquets in order from least expensive to most expensive (use the bouquet numbers below). <br />3. Guess the price of each bouquet in the same comment section.<br />4.

I think the order goes 2,...What a great giveaway!! I think the order goes 2, 3, 1, 4. I picked 2 as the most expensive because it has ranunculus (which are usually expensive and it contains jewels, and has a fancy stem treatment ~$280). Then I picked number 3 which is very similar but I didn't think the flowers were as expensive and it used more greenery (~$230). Next was 1 because although it is much smaller it is very full of roses and lillies (~$200). Lastly, I picked number 4 because it is made up mostly of hydrangeas and that flower is pretty large so you would need less to make a bouquet ($170). You are probably laughing right now as it is obvious I have no clue what I'm talking about! lol All of the bouquets are gorgeous!! I would love to win a courtenay lambert bouquet...keeping my fingers crossed!!!Jacquelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03248642344713581647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1271922068126967782.post-84935764952019419872012-01-09T18:36:27.010-08:002012-01-09T18:36:27.010-08:00What a great giveaway!!
