Floral Budget

Hello Ladies!  I don't know what to set for our flower budget and was hoping I could get some ideas of what others are spending.  We will only have 8 or 9 centerpieces, a bridal bouquet, 5 bridesmaid bouquets and then the corsages and boutinerres.  I would like to add petals to all 25 tables as well and have some for the isle. 

I know flowers range greatly depending on what is in season and how extavagant you go but if anyone would share what they spent I would appreciate it!  I am hoping to spend less than $1000 but I don't know if that is way too low or not.

Thank you,
Jessie

    I went through the Horrocks in Kentwood and was very pleased with the quality and the price.

    Another rec I would have is for flower petals, to purchase online.

    I aimed for about $1000 and ended up slightly over that. My centerpieces are pretty simple and I have petals for each table but none for the aisle. I have 5 bridesmaids and budgeted for 15 centerpieces. I'm using hydrangeas and roses and with delivery and tax and one fairly large (approx $100) arrangement for the church, I ended up at like $1150.

    I'd just make sure the first thing you talk to your florist about is budget. Find a place who works with budgets in your range often so they know how to make the most of it.

    Good luck!
