Budget woes

I'd recommend talking to 3 or so florists in your area. Figuring out how many and what types of flowers you want. There are just so many different factors that could go into florals that would influence the cost.

Agreed. It depends on size and quantity of bouquets. Are you having floral arrangements on other tables? How many arrangements you need really factors in here.

It really depends how much you want and where your from. We were quoted $900 for my bouquet, toss bouquet, 12 boutonnieres, 3 corsages and flowers for in my hair. That seemed to actually be on the low side where I’m from however I can’t see spending that much on flowers and would rather use the money for something else. A friend is now making my girls bouquets and 8 of the boutonnieres so I’m getting the rest through the florist for next to nothing. Some people have to have real flowers but I don’t see a big difference for 20 minutes of holding them.

I don't know if there's a good ballpark number since it's really based on how much you can and are willing to afford. But it's sort of the same way I did when finding a cake. I went asking around to different bakeries and saw that it was about same price for what I wanted. So I'm sure you can do the same for florists.
