Asking for help from those experienced...

I asked this on the bhb board... but you ladies have been trhough it already... and I was hoping to get some advice on my budget...

I am hoping to use the flowers that Captain Bills provides for the reception. (They have a house florist that will do centerpeices as part of package, I still get to choose, but only within a certain range) I will decide on that for sure after meeting with that florist.

How much should I estimate for flowers for:
me
2 bm
2 moms
3 dads bouts
2gm
1 groom (LOL)
1 flower girl

I know ladies spend 2k and up on flowers, but I was wondering what the bulk of it would be if I weren't spending on the centerpieces.

Also, how much is it for a groom's attire? (*approximately*)

I got married in 2001. My flowers were $2400. Centerpieces were about $100/piece, but they were raised and fairly large.

Depending on what types of flowers you request, i figure you would pay b/w 400-600 for what you want.
Actually, now that I looked at it again, maybe more towards the $400 b/c you're biggest expenses would be your bo-k and the BM's. Everything else is pretty minor in comparison.

Maybe about 350-500 depending on what types of flowers.

My bo-k was $165 I think.. but I had all roses and lillies and ivy and stuff.

It depends on what flowers you are planning to use and what style you want them arranged.

Here is an estimate
me - $125 to $225 for most bouquets
2 bm -$75 to $150 each
2 moms - $25 each
3 dads bouts - $10 each
2gm - $ 10 each
1 groom (LOL) - $10-$25
1 flower girl - petals should be free, not sure what else you may want from her.

Dont forget to include ceremony flowers and pew bows.
