    I hope this isn't too intrusive a question, but what sort of prices are people being quoted for florists in the area?

    I went with Hoelcks in Waterford, and was quoted just over $500 (with tax, no delivery - they're just around the corner from me) for my bouquet, 3 bridesmaids bouquets, 2 corsages for moms, and 5 bouts.  I thought that was pretty decent pricing for around here.

    I paid about 1800 total.  I had 1 brides bouquet, 3 bridesmaids, 8 bouts, 18 tables, 3 MOB/GOB wristlets, 1 arrangement for the candy buffet, 10 parasols.

    We used Hydrangeas, mokara orchids, cymbidium orchids, and lillies.

    Most places are willing to work within your budget.

    WOW.  Where I live in CT, finding a florist for under $3k is hard to find.....and most of my friends are quoted double if not more than that price.

    Good luck!

    @Umberzone:

    Yeah, I had some crazy quotes the worst being 6K but it ended up being a case of shopping around. Also not having any lilies, orchids or peopnies goes a long way to bringing costs down.

    Waht part of Connecticut? I'm spending abetween $1000 and $1500 depending on how many guests I end up with. I went with McQuades in Mystic. Their floral dept is great and really offers bang for your buck.

    Ah!  I love McQuades - it's a great market, and really good floral department.  Nice people, too.

    I love McQuades too. They are so lovely and honestly the floral prices are fabulous. I'm so excited to have been able to use them in some way.
