    Just under $1,200 for:

    My bouquet

    MOH bouquet

    6 bouts

    2 corsages

    14 centerpieces

    Delivery Fee

    I thought that was pretty reasonable for my area and it happens to be one of the best florists in the area :-)

    I'm in San Francisco and it's $1800 for:

    -bridal bouquet

    -throwaway bouquet for toss

    -6 BM bouquets

    -10 bouts

    -6 corsages

    -2 large altar arrangements

    -6 small arrangements for altar

    -10 pew decorations

    -aisle runner with petals

    -FG basket

    -Delivery and all fees

    We needed more corsages/bouts and other things for the tradition of the church and culture. The reception provides our centerpieces and other flowers and my florist is going to take the large arrangements and pew flowers to the reception and add them to the venue's flowers. We're using lavender roses, cream roses, hydrangeas, lisianthus, dusty miller, stock, and other purples/whites.

    I have spent $120 so far on 15 centerpieces not too bad im a big DIY person though. I put them in birch vases. My FSIL spent $26,000 on flowers alone!! It was freakin nuts! Well her MIL did that but I think that is just way overboard. When I think back about her wedding it was 3 years ago I don't even remember there being that many flowers!

    I did Mrs. ChanelNew but thank you! I think the cost of them traveling to me would be expensive! Because I'm in San Diego county.

    $26,000?!?!?! I'm spending less than $300, I'm doing my own bouquets, but having a florist do the boutonnières and corsages. I know that having flowers isn't a big deal to me and I don't want them for decorations and it is to others, but $26,000!!! I can think of better things to spend that kind of money than on flowers that will die.

    I'm spending about $1300 through my linens lady. My flowers are hot pink roses. This included:

    -bridal bouquet

    -1 FG/toss bouquet

    -6 bridesmaids bouquets

    -13 bouts

    -5 corsages

    -25 full centerpieces

    I originally was going to DIY and go through Sams, but figured I got a good deal and would rather pay someone else to deal with it

    @Jackie S what a great idea to do some Trader Joes bouquets on the sign in table!! We aren't able to do floral centerpieces due to budget and went with a candle thing the venue rents instead. But that would be a great idea to add a pop of color!!! Esp since there is a Trader Joes 5 mins from my venue!!

    I am hoping to stay around $350 for some very simple very inexpensive items incl my bouquet, 3 BMs, 1 Jr bridesmaid, grooms bout and 4 other bouts. I will also need a couple loose carnation stems for my late grandpas chair at the ceremony. I am meeting with a florist on Sat so cross your fingers bc that's all I can spend!
