Check out Carmine from Flowers By Emil. He works with every budget and is so wonderful to work with.

I used Verbena Designs as well. And we were under $1k

But we did silk cp's. But she is very reasonable and will work with you.

national wholesale was very reasonable with flower prices. their website is www.800rosebig.com and they are located in Bellmore.

I think she's posting this because of the responses she got about national wholesale in her other post. Just a guess though...

I also used National Floral. They were great and I paid a little more than that but I also had my Gazebo decorated which was a big part of the payment.

Pedestals is great. I've also heard good things about Flower Michele. I've heard some great ways to cut the cost of flowers, some ideas:

-- I've seen low centerpieces (which are less expensive) with high votives. gives the effect of bigger.
-- tell the florist you want only in-season flowers
-- make the bo-q smaller (JMO, but I don't think a big one is neccessary.

You can do it!

We just booked Burton's on Saturday! They were $600.oo cheaper than a quote we had received from someone else....and i think that he understood what i wanted for my centerpieces and the Bo-k's better than the other florist.

good luck!

Re: budget for flowers @ 1000.00

It really depends on what you are looking for. If you are only looking for Bo-k's, bout's, and corsages then I think you can definitely do it. If you add CP's then you might go over 1K. But definitely check out Burton's (great prices and threw in a lot of extras), Flower Barn (works with ANY budget), and Simple Elegance (great idea's). I went to a few other places, but I think that they would be over 1K. Good Luck!!!
