Realistic price for flowers

I'm meeting with a florist next week.  I'm going to need 6 centerpieces, 2 bouquets and 2 boutonnieres.  I'm thinking of using carnations in the centerpieces, carnations and roses for the bouquets, and carnations for the boutonnieres.  So, if asked my budget, I was going to say $450.  Does that sound reasonable, or will I get laughed at?  

My thinking is my bouquet and bm's around $175 (combined)
Bouts- $25
Centerpieces- $40

This is my first meeting with the florist.

    Think how different it would be if you would have never met the one who changed everything...

    What kind of centerpieces do you want?  If you are doing a simple "flowers in a vase" thing, that should be enough.  But if you want any of the taller-style centerpieces, those are more in the $100+ range.
