I'm getting my bouquet, 4 BM bouquets, 7 boutineers, 4 corsages, a toss bouquet, 2 ceremony arrangements and one very large arrangement for our escort table from my florist for $1650. I'm also spending about $1000 on reception flowers from Fifty Flowers.

I DIYd for less than $400. 8k sounds like wayyyy too much money to me.

This is typically relative to area. Get quotes from other florists to compare or research the avg. cost for your area. This does sound on the higher end for flowers, but you may be paying for experience, uniquness and creativity that you may not find elsewhere. Best of luck

That sounds quite high so I would get some other quotes just to see if there is any difference. However, like PP said, price depends on your area and what you are asking for.

Gosh! How did you get all these things for such a low price? I looked at a few florists and they aren't too much lower. I'll have to look inot this some more.

Normally, you spend around 10% of your overall budget for flowers. Flowers were pretty important to me but I still managed to spend less than $2500 (or around 8% of my budget). Still, I will admit that I could have easily spent twice that.
Unless you are just going completely over the top, you can probably spend less. If you are factoring in rentals, lighting or linens, that will of course increase the total cost.

I told my florist to keep it under $3,000. That's about 10% of my budget.
