Help! I need a good, affordable florist in St. Augustine!

Sooo....my fiance's aunt had told us months and months ago that she was going to do all the flowers for our wedding as a gift to us since she used to be a florist and still had all her connections.  Fast foward to this week, where she informs us that she is broke and isn't planning on doing any of our flowers for us (mind you, she has known this for a while now and only just NOW tells me - I could strangle the woman!)  And our wedding is 5 weeks from this Friday!

So I am looking for a good, affordable (since we didn't budget for flowers since we thought they were covered...) florist in the St. Augusine area.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    I used Flower Works.  Their prices are supposed to be among the cheapest in St. Aug, and I thought they were pretty reasonable.  They do beautiful work (and they even threw in some extra flowers for the reception which we didn't have to pay for).  57 Treasury is another popular florist, but I hear they're really expensive.  Many brides on here have used Flowers by Shirley, and their prices are supposed to be good too. 

    As far as budget goes, the easiest way to keep the price down is to choose flowers that are in season.

    I am using Flowers by Shirley. Their prices are pretty good, the personnel there are very nice and they are a pretty good sized shop so they could probably accommodate a last minute order pretty quickly.  Here is their link

    Good luck to you and have a great wedding!

    I also recommend calling Rachel with Blossoms & Accents.  She is very affordable and has beautiful flowers.
