    This will be subjective to the seaon, location and type of flowers. Hard to say without seeing that information.

    Flowers vary widely by area, type of flowers, etc. I really have no idea what the going rate is in Houston.

    That said, I think that's about what I paid for my flowers, except that my total was only about $330 because I *only* got my bouquet, a MOH bouquet, and two BM bouquets--no centerpieces or anything else. I would guess that $145 for the bridal bouquet is a decent price in most markets.

    Oh, and I had calla lilies in my bouquet, which tend to increase price--without them, it would have been $100 instead of $145.

    I second Analy, more detail is needed and also what's included in your package. I'm in South Fl, I have not look too much into flowers yet but so far, the prices seems to range between ****, that include flowers for ceremony, reception, bridesmaids, my bouquet, cake decorations, etc...

    As Brian said, professionals do more than just stick flowers in a bunch; they know how to arrange and treat them. If we hadn't had professional bouquets at our wedding in the Valley of Fire, they'd have been a COMPLETE loss--those 50mph wind gusts would have completely destroyed them. But because they'd been treated (they actually dip bird of paradise in glue for arrangements to keep the points from bending), they held up amazingly well!

    See photo--those bouquets had been outside, uncovered, for about an hour by then, and I'm not kidding about the 50mph wind gusts. That was the real speed.

    I'm in Denver and I'm paying between $3k-$3500. So I would say that $3200 is reasonable depending on where you're at. I am getting quite a bit for that amount.

    To me that seems high b/c I didnt see you mention any centerpieces or altar arrangements (not sure what kind of ceremony you're having). It does depend on the type of flowers & how many you'll be using and all that but I'm in Houston and getting great flowers with lots included for about $2,000. (including centerpieces for about 16 tables). Good luck!

    Sounds good to me...I'm in NJ and will be using peonies, and we're paying $200 for my bouquet and $100 per BM.

    THe bouquet prices seem reasonable, not sure what "sunshine flowers" are - I'm guessing the color? or do you mean sunflowers?
