I find it really hard to do averages. We're expecting just over 30 this year, but we do quite a few around £100-£150 (just bouquets and buttonhoels) then we do a lot at £300-£450, a lot at £700-£1000 and a few over £1000. So I suppose the average would be £600. The smaller ones (only bouquets etc.)tend to be in the winter months, bigest ones almost always in summer, except the occasional xmas one.
