    Depends what you are getting!  We first went to a floral design studio, who quoted us $2500.  We took the same ideas and went to an independent florist who works out of her home, and got the exact same thing for half the price.  Here's what we're getting:

    1 – Bride Bouquet – Medium Full Round Hand tied Clustered colors – White hydrangea, yellow spray roses, lavender stock and white garden daisies no greenery wrapped with white satin stems exposed                  $100

     4 – Bridesmaid Bouquets – Smaller Round Hand tied – Lavender stock and white garden daisies, no greenery wrapped with lavender ribbon                                                                                                                 $30 each

     9 – Boutonnieres (black tape) – White daisy (1-groom. 4-groomsmen, 2-ushers, 2-fathers)               $6 each                                                                                                                                                  

    3 –Pin Corsages – White daisies, yellow spray roses and a lavender bow (2-mothers, 1-grandmother)   $14 each

    18 – Centerpieces – Full fluffy mix of white hydrangeas yellow daisies and lavender stock in 91/2 inch white vases from bride                                                                                                                             $40 each

    54 round votive – 5 per table                                                                                                                $80

    Vases for bouquets to place at head table                                                                                               N/C

     
    Event Estimate                                             $1,119.00

    Sadly, there is rarely a normal in wedding prices. It depends on going rates in you area, what flowers you want, and whether or not those flowers are in season. It also depends on how much you want--just bouquets and bouts, or aisle decor and centerpieces for 30 tables? You can probably expect a number somewhere between 1,000 and 4,000. My bridal bouquet was around $200, BM bouquet around $100, and corsages and bouts between $20-30.

    We were going to use a supermarket florist but even that was too expensive so we make non-flower bouts ($4 apiece), ordered the flowers for my bouquet from fifttyflowers.com and the gerberas for the centerpieces and bridesmaids bouquets and will DIY for around $250 (including shipping). Day of I'm going to buy flowers to make corsages for the moms.  All total I think we'll spend around $275 for three centerpieces on each table (ten tables), bouts for 8, 3 corsages, 6 bridesmaids’ bouquets and mine.
