HEB Flowers

Do they do a good job?
I want to spend less on flowers than other parts of the wedding; my budget is going mainly towards the venue which is already beautifully landscaped (outdoor wedding) and the food and live music so flowers is where I am trying to save some money but I still want a nice product.
Does HEB fit the bill?
If not, any recommendations greatly appreaciated.
Also what is a reasonable price for flowers for wedding; just an average would be great. Got one bid for over 3,000.00 and this seems a bit much but maybe it's not?? Don't really know.
Thanks for any help you can offer.

    I think that HEB does great work, but they are about the same as other florists when it comes to price. If you are willing to DIY, Travis is a great way to go. Just buy in bulk and assemble them yourself.

    I used Flower Forrest and we got a LOT of flowers for $1300. The majority of their business isn't weddings so their prices weren't as inflated. DeVinnie's Paradise is also good with working within a budget. I REALLY wanted fresh flowers but I didn't think paying more for flowers than other parts of the wedding made much sense, so I bargained and compromised to get them to an afforable price. We have 13 guest tables, so on 5 I will have large tall floral centerpieces, 4 tables will have medium/full low centerpeices, and the rest of the tables will have petals and candles. My bouquet I did NOT skimp on, but the BM's will have small bouquets with just a couple flowers to match mine.

    ETA: I forgot to mentions Sams Club! They sell prearranged packages that you can view online and you don't have to be a member to buy flowers from them I believe. I have seen the flowers in store and they always look good, but I haven't seen wedding flowers in person before. A lot of girls on the budget board used them and were very happy with the quality and price.

    call Jen at budget bridal. She was half the cost of HEB. My bouquet is around $50 when other charge $80-250 for the same.
