Stupid Flower Question

Okay girls, here is my stupid question of the day: do you think $1800 is too much for all of the flowers?  I think that seems really reasonable.  It includes the bouquets, corsages, boutonnieres, ceremony flowers, reception flowers, setup, and tax.

    Who is the florist your using ?  Do you mind sharing ?

    I don't mind sharing at all.  The quote that I am talking about is from Zuzu's Petals.  The owner Natalie is a doll.

    I think that is a very resonable quote...

    I'm going to pay around $800 for:

    1 bridal bouquet
    3 BM bouquets
    8 bouts for the guys
    2 tussie mussies for the moms
    flower girl petals
    2 ceremony arrangements

    I made our reception centerpieces so we cut costs there. We booked with Joyce Grattoni and she works out of her home, so there's really no overhead cost that's being past down to us.

    I am also using Zuzu's.  I felt like the price Natalie gave me was great considering I am using inexpensive flowers.  So, your price is probably pretty good as well.
