Holiday Wreaths – How We Price
Last year we were obliged to raise the price of our exquisite hand tied bows due to the ever-rising costs of ribbon. Customers purchasing wreaths with bows or just a separate bow paid an extra $5 ($10 for extra large bows), but we didn’t add on the extra costs to our fully decorated standard wreaths. This year we realized we need to charge more for the fully decorated models, for a few reasons. One factor, naturally, was the more expensive ribbon, but in addition to ribbon costs, prices for all the mechanics we need to execute the designs also had risen. Wires, picks, paint, exotic greens, and accessories have become more expensive. Off-season storage costs went up, as did the popularity of the wreaths themselves. We have only so many volunteers and a limited time in which to create the wreaths, so we decided we needed to charge more for what we are designing and delivering. In 2019 a fully decorated wreath will cost $140, still massively less expensive than comparable wreaths from high end florists. And remember, as an all volunteer organization, every cent of profit goes directly to the projects and causes we support. We hope every customer agrees that ordering from The Garden Club of the Back Bay is the responsible consumer choice! To order, visit http://gardenclubbackbay.org/shop/
