    This is what I'm getting for $2500 (this does include some out of season flowers, like peonies, in July)

    1 bridal bouquet (with toss bouquet)
    7 BM bouquets
    3 wrist corsages
    3 pinned corsages
    15 bouts
    small arrangment in FG basket

    2 church arrangements
    2 pew arrangements
    10 bows for pews

    5 tall centerpieces
    5 short centerpieces

    and a couple of misc. bows

    My florist is Dever's Designs. So far, he's been great and we saw some arrangments of his at a bridal fair and they were AWESOME! From what I've seen, his prices are VERY competitive.

    I'm using Kendra Bissig at Greenworks (love her!).  Mine is about 3,000 for everything but I want BIG bouquets.  She gave me three different quotes depending on the look I wanted, this was the middle one....
