Florist - too much $ - or average ?

I met a florist this weekend, and here's what I am getting:
Bride - Off white rose, Lily of the Valley, with Ivy -in a cascade arrangement
3 BM /1 MOH - V. pale yellow rose, with blue diphinium (sp?) clutches
MOB, MOG - whatever they choose
Groom & GM (8) & 2 kids (with the same) - White carnation
Throwaway bouquet (which I will not use)
Petals for the tables & cake
Arrangement for the placecard table
22 centerpieces- Also the ceremony is at the same place as the reception, and the cala lilly centerpieces will be on pedestals down the ailse
1 Huppa, decorated in ivy
3 votive cvandles for each table, which I may supplement

$2700 - too much ? good deal??
Need your opinoins - thanks.

I'm also going to Flowerden in 2 weeks

Here are the centerpieces (which is the bulk of the cost)

What flowers are being used for those centerpieces?

I think that may actually be a decent price, especially w/Callas being expensive.
FlowerDen definitely has competitive prices and may be able to beat that for you.

I don't know if I made myself clear, lol,
I think that is a good price, although FD may be able to beat it.

I think it is a good price. You have 22 centerpieces and that's alot. Pretty good price.

the price is not bad at all...but you could probably get it down to $2400-2500....can you talk them down a bit??

(i'm just comparing this relative to what i am paying - $3000 for 7 BM-roses and delphinium, 8 ushers, 4 parents, 1 grandmother, 28 centerpieces of calla lilies and vendela roses with candles...2 big urns for the church and decorations for the pews and of course my bouquet also - vendela roses and stephanoitis..)

sounds good to me- you have tons of centerpieces....just make sure that they dont' use a filler or something you don't like to flesh things out - get it in writing! LOVE the calla lilies!!!
