I don't know about any of those florists, but we are using Winston Flowers in Boston (working with Ryan), and they've been awesome! We are actually only spending about 1/2 our original budget.

Bridal Bouquet $175
Bouts $15 (for groom, Father of the Bride/Groom, Brides Bro, & Step-Grandfather)
Corsages $35 (for Mother of Bride/Groom, Sister of the Bride/Groom, & Grandmother)
Pew Cones with tropicals $40 each
Large tropical bouquet for the bar in a glass vase $125

We are doing non-floral centerpieces, but when we original asked about small centerpieces we were quoted (I think) ~$50-75 each.

Our wedding is in 5 weeks, and so I'll be able to post a vendor review then, but like I said, so far they've been great! We even asked & got to tour their warehouse at our first meeting & they gave me a small bouquet of tulips as a thank you--nice touch!

GL!

We're using Evergreen Florist -- LOVE them.

Bridal bouquet ~$150
Bridesmaid bouquets ~$85/ea
Boutonnieres ~$12/ea
MOB/FMIL/Grandmother flowers - $15/ea
(Low) centerpieces ~$45/ea

She had great ideas for how to decorate our space and also had lots of ideas to "re-use" flowers from the church to our reception so we would get "double-duty" out of them and thus save more.

Not sure if this helps, but TF Murphy is the "go to" place in Somerville. We got all of our corsages and bouts there for proms in high school.

I work in Stoneham (at the hs) and have heard AMAZING things about Evergreen.

I had a meeting with Evergreen in Stoneham. I loved them, and I thought they were reasonable. Great ideas too. My only issue with them was they were lacking in the communications/ correspondence department. Setting up an appointment with them was simple, but I don't know why it was so impossible to get in contact with them after. Their email was full so my emails were getting kicked back to me, and they were not returning my calls- and all I was trying to sign a contract with them! At the end of the day I decided to go elsewhere because if they were hard to track down in the beginning, who knows how it would be closer to my wedding. Maybe I just had bad luck, but that was my experience with them. HTH and GL on your search!

Have you checked out Raspberry Bouquet in Charlestown? It's a newer florist that I am using and so far the owner, Lauren, has been great to work with. She has gone out of her way to help me. Our total will be a little under $3,000 but thats because of our size. I have ten bridesmaids so the bouquets alone are pricey and we need centerpieces for 16 tables. Good luck!!

I dont have prices (however someone about does) but im using evergreen in stoneham. I live in stoneham and have used them about a million times for everything under the sun. While agree sometimes its phone tag with them, i have never had an issue getting what i needed on time. They have wonderful "show" arrangements and are very helpful in choosing beautful flowers for the right occasion

TF Murphy in Somerville is great. I have several friends and family members who have used them for weddings as well as other functions where flowers are needed and they always do a great job, are wonderful to work with, and reasonably priced.

I am using Raspberry Bouquet in Charlestown on Main Street. The owner's name is Lauren and I love her work.

I don't know them, but I am using Nicole Pirani from Blooms of Hope in Belmont and she has been wodnerful (I have changed my mind so many times, and she just adjusted the contract)! Because she does not have a store, she had great prices since she doesn't haev that overhead.

Thanks girls. I set up some appointments for this weekend. We'll see how it goes.

I am using TF Murphy in somerville - their prices can't be beat. They did my sister's wedding as well. I would bring in some pictures to show (Tom) as their books are kind of dated. The first time I went I had no idea what I wanted and going online and having a better idea helped for the second time. He wasn't too helpful with that. I love Bunker Hill Florists - my fiance has sent many arrangements from there and I have always loved them - but I knew they'd be out of the budget... that's why I went to Murphy.
