    WOW, I haven't priced flowers yet but I might have under estimated how expensive they are. I thought I could find something for $50, I might need to redue my flower budget. I read that one bride mixed real and fake flowers and no one could tell.

    Here are fake flowers from hobby lobby for $20, if this could be mixed with a better ribbon and spiced up a bit that might be an idea. I also heard that you have to make sure your real flowers don't bleed on your dresses.

    I'm sorry to say but these flower shops must be jacking up the prices b/c they know we are getting married. At work I use 1-800-flowers to sends arrangements to people that had a baby. I spend $75 and get amazing flowers, a crystal vase with free delivery. So compared to that I just don't see where the money is going?

    Mine will be $319.  Ridiculous I know.  Vegas wedding chapel up charges and labor intensive wiring of orchids adds up.  I wish I didn't have champagne taste.

    Lil Baby Jesus take the wheel! These prices have offically given me headache. I"m not sure how much mine will be because it was added in to the cost of my decor.

    WOW!!! I'm really surprised by these prices as well. I plan on DIYing my bouquet which will have 2 dozen red roses with burgundy dahlias and peacock feathers mixed in. I don't plan on more than $30 to complete all of that.

    Maybe flowers aren't just that important to me, but I just plan to stop by a local rose shop a couple of days before and purchase my 2 dozen which won't cost more than $20.

    Of course I plan to practice ahead of time.
