Florist Budget

I haven't shopped around yet but I am hoping to keep the florist cost around $1000. Is this possible? I'm not a huge flower person, just want something basic and pretty for bouquets (was even thinking baby's breath bouquets) and for centerpieces I was thinking cylinders with floating candles or the winter-y branches with some candles around them. Any suggestions on a florist that will work in my tight budget?

Flowers by Brian was able to work with our budget. I'm doing red roses and hydrangeas ( expensive flowers). I was able to get a mix of three centerpieces for 25 tables, flowers for my bridal party 16, ceremony and sweetheart table flowers and a red rose bouquet with rhinestone for a litte under 3k, I'm sure they can work with your budget. We went to three florist and he gave us the most for our money.

Ah you sound JUST like me. I went to Burtons and they quoted me $1300 for everything. I have 5 BM and 5 GM. They are including flower girl baskets, my bouquet, a throw away bouquet, and 8 centerpieces which have candles coming up the middle of them. Plus, 4 corsages. I feel like i am forgetting something...but i put down $300 that way i was left with $1000 because 1k was also my budget but i got tired of going places! I hope this helps

i am providing my own containers for the centerpieces (we have been collecting glass vases in different shapes and shades of blue for our nautical theme) ... we are doing 3-4 hydrangea in each centerpiece (very simple. some will be white and some will be the blue hydrangea, which are the more expensive kind (sigh!). i am probably going to add single garden roses scattered throughout, as well.

are you meeting with sonja or sheryl? i am working with sonja and i just love her.
