Hi ladies, I'm wondering how much the average flower budget is? I've gotten a few quotes back, but I'm slightly clueless as to what "reasonable" looks like. Thanks so much for the help, and best of luck to all of you brides! :-)

    Mine ranged from about 850-1250.  This was for the bouquets, boutineers, and corsages.  We're doing the centerpieces on our own.

    Ours was $1165.  We are getting my bouquet (25 blooms), three bridesmaid bouquets(18 blooms), 8 centerpieces (20 blooms), 2 flowergirl bouquets (3 blooms wrapped in satin fabric), 20 loose blooms for "throwing petals" or whatever we want to use them for, 11 corsages (2 blooms, wrist or pin)and 9 boutonnieres.  We are using some of the corsages and boutonnieres for decorating.  We went with roses all the way around.  There will be minimal greenery intertwined.  We went through Proflowers and I was amazed at the price difference.  They come ready to go, labeled with what is what and if you aren't pleased with the flowers when they get to your house, there is a fallback plan where they will replace your flowers through a local florist.  I'm thrilled with their customer service thus far and can't wait to see my flowers.

    Also, this was the biggest package that they had.  They have many smaller packages that you can mix and match to get exactly what you need.

    Mine was about $3000. That includes all the bouquets, bout's, church decorations, and centerpieces! Our florist is pretty much doing everything which is very convenient!

    My florist is charging around $400. I am getting my bouquet, 5 BM bouquets, 2 moms corsages, 3 grandma corsages, 3 sisters corsages and a vase of fresh cut flowers for on the altar. I am making all my centerpieces and the guys will have pocket squares instead of a bout.
