Let It Be a Milestone - Not a Gravestone for your Wallet
A Quinceanera is not just an over-indulged birthday party. Much like a bar or bas mitzvah, it is the female Hispanic religious celebration of moving from childhood to maturity. Quinceaneras are also like weddings in that there is a church ceremony and reception, flower bouquets, formal dresses, and the celebrant appoints her friends to a Court of Honor. Proper planning for a quinceanera usually starts a year prior to the girl's fifteenth birthday, and many quinceaneras have themes, such as a princess theme. As one can imagine, budgeting for this type of event can be costly, with the average overall costs coming in between $5000 and $10,000.
"While we can't help with all the costs, we can help significantly with the cost of the flowers," says Richard, General Manager of American Floral Distributors. According to eventective.com, the total percentage for flowers out of your quinceanera budget should be 5%. Considering that the average overall costs come in between $5000-$10,000, you are looking at a budget range of at least $250-$500 for your flowers.
"A florist's bouquet just for the celebrant will run at least $100," says Richard. "When you buy your flowers from a wholesale flower business such as American Floral Distributors, you can cut your costs in half, enabling you to purchase not just the celebrant's flowers, but flowers for her Court of Honor, the church and the venue - all while staying on budget."
The flowers will last longer, too. "The process of getting flowers to the florist's is approximately 8-17 days, leaving 3-5 days of life. The wholesale flower process brings the flowers directly to us from the grower in about three days, leaving two weeks of life in them," says Richard. "Combining this process with the reduced cost makes buying wholesale flowers for your quinceanera event a win/win."
One myth about wholesale flowers is that they are limited in variety and color. "This couldn't be further from the truth," says Richard. "Our growers are global. Our variety is comparable, and sometimes better, than your local florist's. With the wide variety available through a wholesale distributor, matching flowers to your quinceanera celebration theme is not a problem. So let us help you create a memorable and budget-conscious event."
