Re: flowers...
Just booked my flowers yesterday actually!
Um... right now everything is approximately 2000. It might be less but based on what I've mentioned and all the flowers we'll need, that is the quote we were given for at least 15 low CPs and the entire BP plus additional family members.
As far as types of flowers... that really isn't so important with me. As long as the flowers look pretty and are the colors I am looking for, I'm pretty easy to please. I do know however that my bo-k will be white roses with white stephanotis (w/ crystals in the centers). The CPs will mostly be bold pink and orange roses with some whites. For the BM bo-ks I hope to have pink lillies if possible.

Just curious to know what out of season flowers would be since my wedding day is close to yours.

We are spending about 2300 for tons of exotic flowers that I don't even know how to spell.. LOL, with all the BP, and about 20 CPs....The local florists give the BEST quotes!!

Re: flowers...
michales between there and dollar tree it's my 2nd home
that is for my bo-k i need to add a wire to it eventualy but it looks very fragile so i din;t want to chance it breaking since the blue isn't so easy to find
i think it was in the floral section by like the floral foam and glue guns.

Thanks... I'll have to check that out! I didn't see them when I was there last, but that was also well over 2 months ago! I want to get a whole bunch for the CPS, and one for my Bok... FH always calls me his Butterfly, so I just need to incorporate them..

We are using Rich from Flower Michelle and, as others have said, Flower MIchelle's work is amazing. We are using 10 high centerpieces with about 48 flowers per centerpiece and then a lot of boq. flowers and decoration flowers for the cake, card table, etc. and paying over $2500 for flowers bu getting a lot in return.
