    I booked Plum Sage for my wedding. The wedding has not happened yet, but so far the planning stage has been a breeze with them. They are very friendly, knowledgeable and flexible. I am spending a little less than $600 - but I am also not using very many flowers for my centerpieces.http://www.plumsageflowers.com/

    I second Plum Sage. Erin is extremely talented. I am doing just bouquets, bouts, corsages, flowers for the flower girls, and a toss bouquet and it will all be under $700. She'll help you stay under-budget. More expensive flowers include calla's, roses, and lily of the valley. What time of year are you getting married, because that can also affect your floral costs.

    I used My Daughters wedding. She works from home so she is really affordable and does great work. I have pics in my bio of her stuff. http://www.mydaughtersweddingflowers.com/

    Dawn with Hillside Consultants is amazing, and very affordable. I spent around $750 for bouquets, bouts, coursages, and 16 table/pew arrangements.

    ditto dawn with hillside consultants - we are getting everything for under $500, including peonies, orchids, and other not cheap flowers!  she's a great person and has great ideas, and will work within your budget.

    I know this may seem odd, but my girlfriend used King Soopers and they were gorgeous.  She had 24 centerpieces, 8 attendants, corsages, bouts, etc.  Pretty much everything and got it all for $1100.  They were gorgeous, just an idea.  I am going to check them out just to see.

    I'm also jumping on board to recommend Dawn with Hillside Consultants.  She's fantastic and her prices were the lowest AND I'm actually getting more flowers for my money.  My wedding is this weekend so stay tuned for pix.I also met with Erin at Plum Sage and I really liked her, too.  Her prices were just a bit higher.  Her work is gorgeous.You can't go wrong with either!

    I liked Plum Sage's work, but got better prices for a similar aesthetic from Boulder Blooms (Boulder) and Moon Doggie Gardens (Evergreen). Moon Doggie Gardens is the one I chose. I'm getting 10 centerpieces, ceremony decor, 3 BM bouquets, a bridal bouquet, 3 bouts, and 3 corsages for $500.

    I will also recommend Dawn with Hillside Consultants. She is super responsive and does great work. She has really listened to what we want and has been willing to work within our budget. We are getting my bouqet, 4 bridesmaid bouquets, 2 corsages, I think 10 bout's, and petals for the flower girls for under $500. And she'll deliver to anywhere in the metro area for $50. Good luck!!

    I just booked with Denise at Capelli Floral...I'm so excited about her!  I think her prices were incredibly reasonable and she's very open with communication and incredibly responsive to phone calls, emails, etc.  Also, she quoted the prices during our interview.  She does beautiful work adn has been featured in bridal publications, is the president of the Floral Association of the Rockies, and if you're looking for something a little different (we are incorporation a lot of tree branches and such instead of just traditional flowers), then she's one of the few I visited who is so so open to that!www.capellifloral.com

    If you're willing to do the flowers yourself, like I did, you can save $$ and still have things look very nice. I spent $298 on my bouquet and the BM bouquets: peony roses for me and dahlias for the BM; $40 on all the boutennieres: awesome looking dried orchids; $50 on centerpieces: cylinder vases with lemons, silk flowers & red mini cattails. I really wanted peonies but they were not in season and I wasn't willing/couldn't pay what most florists were asking. Peony roses look pretty identical to them and were much cheaper. I got raves on them all day. I decided to go the DIY route as I got married in Vail and it was A)too expensive for Vail florists and B)delivery charges from Denver and even nearby Breckenridge were ridiculous. I was told by a Breck florist I had to order a minimum of $5,000 in order to have them delivered to Vail!

    I second Lauren w/ Its Quintessential.  Kari's flowers were GORGEOUS and if we hadn't already booked w/ a local florist in WP for our wedding last month I would have hired Lauren in a heartbeat!!!

    Plum Sage Flowers! Erin is amazing, and will stay within your budget. I am having all of my personal flowers done for $350...I am spending around $600 on centerpieces, but I chose to upgrade our budget  for that.  :)
