Does my florist proposal sound reasonable?

I'm getting married in Big Sur, Ca in a private ceremony with just FH and I. I've found that everything I've booked so far has far exceeded the prices I had originally budgeted but I now understand that it's an expensive place to get married. I received a proposal from a florist today for some flowers for my hair, boutonniere and bouquet base on photos I sent for inspiration. My total, including tax, delivery fee(which is high since we're getting married in the forest) and the flowers is $735. I was willing to pay it but FH thinks it's outrageous so now I'm wondering if it really is too much.

I have no context on what wedding flowers cost so I'd love any opinions based on your experience with florists.

I should add that out of 8 florist I contacted she is only the one who answered and was available. Big sur is a small place so not a lot of options.

Thanks. I'm attaching my inspiration pics

    Are you able to pick them up yourself since you're only getting those three items? I would keep looking. This time of the year is super busy for Florists. I called one for a consultation and my appointment was one month out! I would at least get a quote from one or two others to compare.

    That seems high to me. I live in CA and I know Big Sur is expensive but for the 3 items you mentioned it should be less.
