Looking for a Florist on a Budget

I am looking for a florist and our budget is only $700. We have 4 bridesmaid and 4 groomsmen. We also need 20 center pieces. We want roses, something simple. Wedding is in Alsip and we live in Lisle. Any ideas?

    Tracy Ciganek with Elegant Blooms.  I was also on a budge, I simply told her what it was and she did everything within my price range.  I could not have been happier with the way everything turned out!  I would be more than happy to send you some picture of what she did.  I highly recommend her.

    My friend bought her at Costco and arranged them herself.  They were very pretty.  You can even order the flowers already arranged and have them shipped to you.

    We're using DLN Floral Creations in Naperville she was very understanding of budget issues. Our wedding is in Lisle and I also grew up there so we also got quotes from Flowers of Lisle (Main St. & School St.)  and Village Flower & Garden (53 & Maple). Flowers of Lisle was the pricest at about $1000 and Village Flower & Garden was the cheapest at I want to say $600. DLN was $850. Village Flower & Garden does great work though. My parents use them all the time when they send flowers.

    Our florist, Patty from Fairy Godmothers in Oak Park, will work with any kind of budget and bonus: she is super nice!

    I would for sure check out ZuZu's Petals out of Orland Park.  They are highly reccomended here.

    I have a similar budget to you, Natalie worked with me.  I too have 4 people on each side of the bridal party, we also are getting corsages for the people that are doing readings, and other things at church.

    All in all I think I probably paid around $650ish.

    Actually I missed that you needed centerpieces, so ZuZu's might not work for you....but you never know.  If yo utell her exactly what you can spend and what you are looking for, she might be able to accomdate.  They have been great so far as Ive worked with them.
