I'm not sure if you can get all of that if you go with roses and tall centerpieces. You might want to consider using a local florist. I have noticed the smaller local shops are cheaper than some of the larger places that specialize in weddings.
I do know a bride that is using Flower Michele and has a budget of $1500. She is using cala lillies and is very happy with Flower Michele. I am meeting with John of Flower Michele on Friday.

To be honest, I think you can do it with low cp. Try Pbridals, Patrick is really wonderful. You can email him at [email protected] and he will tell you what he can do with your budget.I had a similar budget and needed similar items and he was great.

Well, here are my thoughts since I just booked my florist tonight. We are having 18 low centerpieces and going modest... they are going to be $50 each. I would imagine that tall centerpieces will be more expensive. So figure that my centerpieces alone will cost $900... your tall ones may cost more. I would think that at my florist, what you want will cost more than $1500.... just from what I saw tonight. But I'm sure if you shop around, you can find what you want!!! Good luck!

It might be possible with my florist and she is really awesome (very sweet and willing to work with tight budget).

I highly recommend her. FM me if you would like her contact info.

BTW, I'm also having her decorate my outdoor Ceremony: arch, pews, garlands, etc.

I really think it might be possible with Flower Michele. Tell him your budget and see what he can do. I'm spending about 1600 - and getting SO much for that $$, including church decorations and roses to hand out to each of my guests! That also includes my heart shaped bo-k (pictured in my avatar), which is 275 bucks in itself (just because it takes a ton of roses to make it and it's very big) and 5 BM bo-k's, moms' stuff and the guys' stuff. My centerpieces are low though, but sooooo pretty. I was very impressed at how GREAT his prices were... he was right there with a local florist I had booked (and canceled to use Flower Michele), but with Flower Michele I was getting more! There's no harm in making an appointment with John and meeting with him! He's WONDERFUL! He'll figure it out - and you'll have beautiful flowers!
