Why Two Bangkok Florists Quote Wildly Different Prices for the Same Bouquet
How count, flower specification, design, presentation and delivery change a bouquet quote, and how to compare like for like.
Two florists may quote different totals because they have interpreted “a bouquet of roses” differently. Before deciding that one is expensive or the other is poor quality, ask both to confirm the same brief.
1. Count and flower specification
Write down the rose count, colour, any required variety and the supporting flowers. Ask whether the image represents that exact quantity. For mixed arrangements, a simple stem count may not communicate the full composition, so also ask for expected dimensions.
FlowerRova's current 20-rose bouquet is ฿1,929; 50 roses are ฿3,419. Those are finished-bouquet prices from our catalogue. They do not establish what another florist should charge.
2. Stem length and appearance
A longer stem may suit a tall vase; a compact design may suit a desk. Ask for the specification you need. We do not use an unsupported universal length threshold to declare roses “premium”, and shorter stems do not prove that flowers are older or will fail sooner.
3. Origin and availability
If you require a particular imported variety or Thai-grown flowers, make that part of the quote. FlowerRova sources through private farms in Thailand and uses imports according to availability and the design. A country label does not substitute for information about the actual batch.
Ask whether the quote is valid for the delivery date and what happens if a flower is unavailable. We do not promise that the current catalogue price is fixed for all future holidays.
4. Design, wrapping and practical extras
Compare a bouquet with a bouquet, and a setup service with a setup service. A vase, box, complex arrangement, site visit or installation can change the scope. Ask what is included without guessing at the florist's labour minutes, margin or wholesale costs.
5. The total at your address
Confirm the bouquet, delivery fee and any agreed extras together. A headline price is incomplete if you need a chargeable vase or delivery outside the advertised area. Check FlowerRova delivery details for current coverage and conditions.
The brief to copy
“Please quote for this flower count and colour, for this date and address. Include wrapping, card, any vase, delivery and setup if needed. Please state expected dimensions, substitutions, payment requirements and what happens if the order cannot be fulfilled.”
Keep the replies and compare the confirmed totals. Without dated equivalent quotes, neither a price band nor a claim about which florist is better value is established.
