I had sort of a preliminary meeting with a florist and was quoted btwn 3000 and 3500 for

1 bride bok
2 moh boks
8 bm boks
1 jr bm bok
1 fg basket
2 mother bok
1 grandmother bok

1 groom bout
10 usher bout
1 rb bout
2 father bout
2 escort bout

12 medium centerpieces
2 alter pieces
20 pew bows

I might be missing something .. cant find the paper..

It really depends on the type of flowers... the color too makes a big diff.. for instance blue n purples r very exp in may sooo i hve to go with pinks

we were recently quoted 2300 including tax for:

5 short CP's - cala lilies and hydrangea
5 tall CP's - same
1 flower girl ball thing lol
4 BM's - cala lilies and hydrangea (MOH had stephanotis)
4 groomsman - cala lily
2 Bridal bo-k's (1 to toss) - white rose and stephanotis
3 corsages
6 additioanl bouts for FH, gpa, reader and ring bearer
(all bo-k's w/ crystals)

so to answer your Q, i def think you can get what you want depending on where you go - we didnt even go to the places ive read are cheaper we just happened to win something there so we figured we might as well go for a meeting right? lol hth Oh & congratsss
