in Minnesota-Minneapolis and St. Paul
Looking for close to Shakopee, MN but if you didn't that's ok too! Does anyone have any recommendations, even if you aren't by shakopee? I'm trying to go under a thousand.

Will need:
-bride bouquet
-5 bridesmaid bouquets
-1 junior bridesmaid
-Groom boutonniere
-5 grooms men boutonniere
-Mother of bride, mother of groom 3 grandma corsages
-Father of bride, father of groom, 1 grandpa boutonniere

Is all that for $1,000 even possible? Thank you!

BM, 2 grandpa's, 3 grandma's, 1 mom, 2 dad's, 3 hosts, 2 PAs, 2 RBs and 10 centerpieces from her for around $900 and that was including delievery to our Shakopee wedding.  The flowers were way better than expected :) and I expected alot from the reviews on here!      It will depend on what flowers you want but she is great!

    I agree that it is doable. We are using Jeni from Simply Stated Elegance- and we will run right around 1100 for:
    Brides bouquet
    5 BM bouquet
    11 or 12 bouts for the guys
    2 mother corsages
    2 grandmother corsages
    and roughly 20 centerpieces. And these are much more full, but medium height centerpieces.

    Flower cost also depends as others have said, but Jeni and some others will charge you wholesale cost for the flowers and a set charge for labor per hour.

    I also am all for Jeni from Simply Stated Elegance.  Our total is only about $500...for brides, 7 BM, 2 PA's, 2 Mothers, 8 grandparents, memorial arrangement, and I can't' remember if there is anything else.  Like PP...it all depends on types of flowers you do.  Jeni doesn't upcharge the flower cost @ all...you pay what she pays for them.  You just pay for her labor.

    We went with Jeni at Simply Stated Elegance and got:

    bride bouquet
    3 BM bouquets
    12 boutinieres
    4 corsages
    10 dozen white tulips for random table arrangements but not centerpieces
    2 tall altar arrangements
    40 mini green hydrangeas for centerpieces
    various other flowers for centerpies (ours were more free form instead of planned out since we had 6 additional vases on each table)

    We paid about $950 for everything, and there were a TON of flowers, kind of a ridiculous amount, actually.  We had tulips and mini green hydrangeas around the house for weeks afterward.

    Oh, and BTW, Jeni at SSE is in Eden Prairie and is willing to travel, so no problem getting her to Shakopee.
