What's everyone spending on flowers if you don't mind saying? I'm just curious to know because I feel like my flowers are getting a little crazy in the $$ department.

    My floral budget is $400. 

    Edit to add breakdown: Bridal and MOH bouquet, 2 bouts, 5 centerpieces, an altar piece and single blooms on the cake table and escort table. I'm also making baby's breath wreaths and garland for the chapel.

    For my bouquet, 2 BM's bouquets, 4 bouts, 2 wrist corsages for our moms and 15 extra flowers...I am paying about $100 at Hy-Vee. Using fuschia gerberas. I am using artificial for my centerpieces, which I got for 50% off at Michaels.

    Ours were around $600 only because the bridesmaids are wearing muffs and stoles so they won't have a bouquet. That saved us a lot. Also, since we are a NYE wedding the church will still have the christmas trees and poinsettias up so we really don't have to decorate!

    My floral budget is about $3,000.  That is for everything. My bouquet, 4 bridemaids, groomsmens, mothers and fathers, 10 aisle designs, 2 alter bouquets, and 40 centerpieces.

    we had the following:

    7 bm bouquets
    brides boquets
    cp - i had all floral centerpieces including 6 foot tall trees with hot pink orchids and crystals

    various flowers for the ceremony. i'm a nerd and grow orchids in my spare time, so it was important to have a lot of orchids in my floral. we got a ton of flowers for $3500 though

    My quote has been $400-$600 (I haven't made any decisions yet) for the ceremony.  This is all bouquets, corsages, bouttineres.  Your centerpieces are really what is going to define what can fit in your budget.  We've budgeted $1500

    My budget is going to end up being around $250. I'm only getting 4 bouquets, one for me, 3 for my bridesmaids. They're going to be orange roses.
