Wedding details
The Proposal Weeks before her birthday, Chris told Kristin that he had a special birthday date planned and asked her to keep the day free. He wanted the day to be a surprise and simply told her to dress warm, pray that it would not rain, and to be ready by 10:00am. Chris had planned to take Kristin to Laguna Beach where they had their first date. He was going to take her to the same restaurant they had eaten, take her for a walk on the beach, and play his guitar by the ocean. Her best friend had already made arrangements to drive down and take pictures from afar. But that morning a winter storm slammed Southern California and threatened his plans. He was forced to decide whether he wanted to postpone the proposal or to change the location. He decided to postpone the proposal and left the ring with his family. He began to drive to Kristin's house to spend the day with her, and made a few phone calls to explain his change in plans. When Chris called Kristin to tell her that he had to cancel his plans, he could hear the disappointment in her voice. At that moment he knew that he wanted to propose that day. He turned the car around and went back to get the ring. She was overjoyed to finally see his car pull into the drive way. Chris and Kristin spent an enjoyable day eating lunch at Mimi's cafe, strolling through the mall, watching a movie and sipping Starbucks coffee. Later that afternoon, Chris told Kristin that he wanted to give her her birthday gift. He told her to wait inside while he went out to his car to get it. He came back inside holding a guitar case and asked her to sit down. He pulled out the guitar and played an acoustic arrangement of one of Kristin's favorite songs, "The Prayer" by Josh Groban and Charlotte Church. When Chris sang the chorus for the last time, he changed the final words to Kristin, will you marry me? He got down on one knee and pulled a beautiful ring from his jacket pocket. He asked again, "Kristin, will you marry me?" She said, "YES!!!"

What is a normal flower budget? I have no idea where to start. I want centerpieces included, so I am wondering what the norm price is for that. I have heard that bouquets for the bride are around $150 and for bridesmaids like $50-$60...does that...
