I am in need of a florist in the St. Pete/ Tampa area that is somewhat modern but isn't going to cost a TON. We are having about 150 people, 5 bridesmaids and 5 groomsmen. So far every quote I have received is between $5,600 and $6,000. When I asked for the vendors to come down a bit in price, the just eliminated all ceremony decor and the corsages/boutonnieres for the parents and grandmothers. Can anyone recommend a florist that can get the job done for around $3000 (without having only red roses)? Or is my budget completely unreasonable? (I'm not a DIY kinda girl, so thats not going to work;) ) Thanks!

Flowers-by-Design, Jamie Olson. Cheaper than ANYONE else out there. A liiiittle ditzy and slow to respond. But definitely cheaper and a horticulturalist to boot.

FH Weddings will work with your budget. They are amazing, and can sit down with you to give you options within your budget. All it took was one consultation with them to know they were the ones we wanted. My budget was similar to yours...and I do not have any roses in my wedding.

I highly recommend them.
