I am ready to check the next thing off my list... flowers! However, my flower budget is super tight (I don't want to spend more than $1,000 - is this do able? I really don't need big fancy flowers (I am even open to babys breath bouquets or something simple) for my 5 girls and the 5 guys in the BP, about probably would need approx. 10-12 centerpieces? (Posting pics of centerpiece ideas in my album).
Can anyone recommend a budget friendly florist?

Michelle from Hidden Essence. All of our wedding flowers came to a little more than what your budget is. We stuck with in season flowers which helped a lot.

I too love the baby's breath and the branches with the crystals and I showed my florist those same pics and it is not cheap. The flower in water is probably more budget friendly

I would def try and go with the tea candles and flowers floating in water. We are actually doing to wintery branches, pussy willows, tea candles thing and it is more expensive than you would think....we needed about $2500 (10-11 tables at our wedding, as well). So funny, I actually showed our florist many of the same pics you have posted :)

Re: Florist under 1K?
After talking to the florist I was surprised to find that some of the centerpiece options I thought might be cheaper (with less flowers) and that include candles, branches, etc can actually be more expensive. You end up paying for a lot of glassware or candles.
If you're budget is really tight you could look into maybe doing some of the floating candle centerpieces yourself with submerged, silk babys breath. Depending on the RH they may set up something simple like candles on the table for you and fill the vases with water.
Quickcandles.com has very reasonable prices on floating candles sets.
