Is this a reasonable cost for my bouquet? (PIP)

I chose this bouquet, which has dendrobiums, cymbidiums, and a little bit of phalaenopsis and lily grass as a filler.  (Click for a larger view.)

My city is Cincinnati.  My month is July.  And my florist is charging me $155 for it.  What do you think of the reasonableness of the cost?  I will also x-post this on my local board.

I think that is almost a bargian!  thse all need to be wired and the flowers are expensive  ones.  Wholesale for a phalenopsois spray in my flower exchange is about $30  that looks like a couple of then... 

Its gorgeous too...

That price seems extremely reasonable to me.

OK, thanks ladies!  Now I know I'm getting a bargain and that just made my day!

My florist also mentioned that if I want it fuller, as in to add hydrangeas, add $15.   But I don't think it needs it.  I am 5'2'' and wearing a drop waist fit and flare and I may get overwhelmed by the size of the bouquet.

And if I want all phalaenopsis instead of a mix of phalaenopsis and cymbidiums, the quote will be $250 and not $155.  But I picked the mix instead to add interest.

My area is SC and that falls right in line with what I saw here.

I think that bouquet is nice if you're into cascading bouquets, but bear in mind as a shorter bride (I'm 5'2" as well) you don't want to disappear behind your bouquet or look like parts of you are sticking out from behind it...Maybe a slightly shorter bouquet would be something to consider?
