I don't know what I should start looking at really. Does anyone have any recommendations? Shops I should avoid?

If you have an idea of the kinds of flowers you want, call and ask their prices. Most places have relatively set prices for different bouquet sizes. As long as you don't want out of season flowers, shold give you a good idea.

If you are looking around for the types of flowers, I would look online. Try pinterest.com and look up their wedding flowers, a lot of pictures have descriptions of different types of flowers & what they look like, then for ordering if you want to put the boquets together, Costco and trader joes are great for prices & you can order them 3 weeks before. Costco you can get specific colors but if you want more of a variety then Trader joes is good for that.
Hope this helps!!!
