Affordable Portland Florist

I am looking for a recommendation for an affordable florist in the Portland area, for only a bouquet for myself and my MOH (goal = less than $75 for both bouquets).  I was originally going to go with a fabric flower bouquet, which my MOH was going to make, but that fell through, and I need a back up option for my wedding in three months.  I am thinking of just grabbing a couple of bouquets from the grocery store the day before and making my own, but the less stress I have the day before, the better.  Does anyone have a good recommendation? Thanks!

    A friend of mine used Harmon's and Barton's in Portland for her wedding and said they were very affordable and willing to work with her budget.

    If you're comfortable making your own, I like the idea of buying them at the grocery store. I have bought beautiful bouquets at Hannaford for centerpieces. You could check with a craft store like Michaels to see what they have for ornamental sprigs like pearls or crystals to dress them up a little.  Good luck!

    We're using Harmon & Bartons in Westbrook. Regina there does a great job and worked with me to come in under budget (with all the flowers that I had originally wanted).

    Thank you for the recommendations.  To avoid additional stress the day before, I decided to visit Harmon and Bartons in Westbrook to see what my options were.  I was pleasantly suprised!  The florist was very flexible and great to work with (and the live-in kitty was an added bonus ;)).  I ended up ordering beautiful bouquets that were better than I expect to be able to afford with my budget. Thanks again for the recommendation!
