    $500 since we're doing the flowers ourselves.  I've already priced the flowers and all the supplies at the wholesaler.  I've even done a practice version of the centerpiece.  The $500 includes all the flowers for the centerpieces, me, bridesmaids, grooms men and ceremony.  I like flowers and all but not enought to spend more then $1000 on it.  Good luck and happy planning.

    The ladies who said they were spending 2K-2,500 - have you already signed your florist?  If so, who are you using?!

    Thanks, everyone!  I have been using WeddingWire to budget everything and sometimes its just SOOOO off for the area.   I am hoping to spend under $3000 so it seems doable.

    I am using Growing Wild.  Some of the flowers we are getting are cym orchids, peonies, super green roses, calla lillies, monkey tails and lotus pods.  A lot of different flowers for $2200.  We are keeping the arrangements and bouquets on the smaller size.

    This is helpful info. I had my first consultation with my florist yesterday.

    I am wonderin what theproper etiquette is for corsages/bouts for grandparents and stepparents. One randmother will be attendin our wedding. Do we have to get a corsage for her? Our 2 stepfathers will be there. They will not be playing a role in the weddin. Do we need to get bouts for them, too? We are trying to stick to a budget. I feel like all these flowers are getting out of hand! LOL.

    I am using Royal Floral Design and I think mine is only about $700- includes bridal bouquet, 6 attendant bouquets, flower girl bouquet, groom's boutonniere, 6 groomsmen, 3 dads, 7 corsages, 2 altar arrangements, 10 pew bow arrangements and 22 arrangements for guest tables.  I have heard people who went to Royal Florist and they said the flowers were beautiful!  There is somewhat of a language barrier with Joy from Royal Florist at first, but for the price it is well worth it!
