Help! What are you spending on flowers/decor?

Hey everyone!  I just received a floral quote that blew my mind a bit.  I was quoted $250 for large carnation ball centerpieces on candlesticks and six small votive candles.  I did not expect it to be this much esp since it's carnations.  Can anyone provide insight here?!  Thank you!!!

    My friend is making all my flower arrangements and boquets, and she's doing an amazing job!  We bought the flowers from Michael's and Hobby Lobby.  Check out her stuff at http://www.facebook.com/craftsbydesign
