Wedding Project Wholesale Order & Bridal Invoice After you create your Retail Estimate Form (REF)- Bridal Invoice ◦ This document is where you provide the bride with an estimate of the price for doing her wedding flowers. It should showcase your style and perhaps coordinate with the theme. Make it professional! The format can be a bill, invoice, or chart breakdown. ◦ You will need to provide a brief description of the item you are selling her and an estimate of the cost per piece, and then a total retail cost including labor, delivery, and tax. The bride will want to know what she is paying for and how she can increase or lower the cost of her order. Do not give the bride your REF!!! That is unprofessional. You should design a Professional Invoice, or create a Table in Word Document. (Go to Word, pull down the Table tab, choose Insert, then choose a style that you like and adjust the size and categories to fit). I recommend you create your own professional document that can fit both pieces on the same order page. The bride shouldn’t know you are charging 2x the price of a vase or 3x the price of flowers! Only include Retail pricing! (not wholesale) This will be much more SIMPLISTIC than your REF!

Information to include for the Retail Invoice: Your Business Name & Address Bride/Groom Name For each piece: ◦ Item: ◦ Description: ◦ Price: Grand Total of all the pieces

Retail Invoice Example: This is the bill you will give to the bride. Should be one overall bill (can take up multiple pages if necessary, but try to fit to one) The prices reflect your markups (but do not write that you are marking it up) You should try to make the description sound beautiful, but don’t give too many details. ****Must be printed out & turned in with slide outlines**** Item:Units:Description:Price per Item: Total Cost: Bridal Bouquet 1 Round Cluster of burnt orange roses, fall orchids, and bright pops of color with gerbera daisies. All hand-tied and satin wrapped with beading detail. $120$ Center- piece 15 Tall cascading centerpiece on a brown rod iron candelabra.
