Florist Budget?

We are tossing around the idea of silk verses fresh flowers.  I have an appointment with a florist on the 25th of this month.  She asked me to have a budget in mind, and a color scheme in mind.  I've got the colors figured out....but I have no clue what to even begin at with a budget!  I will be needing my bouquet, 3 bridesmaid bouquets, 10 bouts, and 4 corsages.  I am not picky on the type of flower.  My only preference is no carnations.  At least not a full bouquet of them.  I think they are pretty, just not want I want my entire bouquets made out of.  The colors are white and a blush pink.  What do you think would be the lowest I could go on a budget for this to keep it reasonable?

    Just from my looking around, expect a ballpark of:

    $150 - Bridal
    $75-$100 - per BM

    I have no idea what to expect for corsages or boutteniers. 

    HTH some!

    I suggest Kroger on Beamer, the florist there is a former wedding planner. I personally think fresh flowers look better.

    If you don't need fancy flowers or big bouquets, you could definitely get away with your brial bouquet being $150 or less. The BM bouquets can be as low as $45 to $65 each. I'm not sure how fancy Nshivers' boutineres are, but $25 is a lot. You can get single rose bouts with some other filler for $8 each, and a single calla lily or orchid for $10 to $12. The corsages you can get for $20. Sabrina from Always Floral is doing my flowers. Carmen's floral and Miranda's floral expression also have good prices. I found HEB to be surprisingly pricy for what I was looking for. You can also check out Flowers by Minerva's website. They have some decent bouquets and bouts on there for good prices. If you're really not picky about flowers, try the packages at Sams club. They are about $300 for bouquets, bouts, and corsages.

    I haven't been on here in a really long time because I got married over a year ago but I I have a friend that did the flowers for my wedding. She's trying to make a name for herself so she's very reasonably priced and can work with any budget. I would highly recommend her. My flowers were amazing and she saved me hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars. She's done a few weddings now and several other events. 

    Let me know if you want her info and pics. 

    my email is k.bates8504@gmail.com
