Florist prices YIKES any suggestions?

So I just had my first & I might add last meeting with the hotels florist. The centerpieces are included in my wedding package, well basic centerpieces. I wanted roses white or ivory, purple tulips & hydrangeas. In the photos of what I could get where a vase of roses or a vase of hydrangeas among others. I thought if roses & hydrangeas where included, that I could have half roses & half hydrangeas and just pay for an upgrade for the tulips. Silly me!!! The florist who didn't even show up for our appointment, had an intern tell me NO. They will not mix them without an extra fee. The price is going to be an additional $75 per table above what the hotel covers. I know the hotel doesn't pay much but still I think this is rediculous. I have 28 tables!!!  They wouldn't even suggest other flower options in my colors. Is this a typical price ?  Any suggestions as to how I could have nice areangements in my colors and not break the budget?
