I think if you went moderate in terms of size (medium) and flowers (not the most expensive roses and lilies), you could get really nice flowers for $350-450.
What you'll want to do is make a couple of appointments with florists. When you go in, they'll have books with different flower types/colors, size examples, and ribbon examples. Tell them what you want and ask for an estimate. Do this at a few floral shops to compare prices and go with what you like.
I agree. Flower cost is massively dependent on season, flower type, number of flowers, complexity of arrangement, region where your wedding is, etc.
Why don't you get a few quotes from a couple local florists and see what they can offer you? Florists are used to brides walking in the door with very little knowledge on flowers.
I will say though for $1300 we're getting bride bouquet, 6 BM's, 10 bouts, 4 corsages, and 17 (pretty basic) centerpieces. Flowers are garden roses, roses, freesia, and stock. I think we got a fabulous deal.
i need my bridal bouquet, 5 BM bouquets, 7 boutonnieres and 4 corsages.
also any flower suggestions?
What are your wedding colors? How big do you want? Go visit a florist. We need more details than this. Also each area is different. Time of the year plays into it too.
My wedding colors are aqua, black, white and silver. I have no idea what kind of flowers i want, but i am getting married in october of 2014,.... I want it to be as simple as possible, i hate spending money on flowers in general, but i cant opt out of real wedding flowers because i think fake ones look tacky.
