That's is the exact amount I had paid for all my flowers- what would you be getting for that amount though?

I'm spending just around that, but it depends what you are getting.
Some girls will pay $500 , some upwards of $5k.

Well if you think you have some higher end flowers in the CP and depending on the extent of your altar decorations, pew flowers and how many corsages / bouts you had to get, the price sounds somewhat reasonable.

It's sounds about reasonable.

Seems about right. It all depends on what flowers you want and how you are using them.

Re: Help out a 09 Bride!
I'd suggest going to at least 3 different florists and getting quotes for the same thing...that'll help you determine if 2k is good or not. Also, some florists charge depending on what flowers you use..others do not.
I'm getting 50 low cp's (all roses), with votives and petals my bouquet (roses and calla), moh, 3 bm's, 2 fg's, (roses) 2moms wrist corsages, 2 dads bouts, groom bout, 1bestman, 5gm's bouts, 2 altar pieces, a toss away bouquet, ring boy bout, vase arrangement for the powder room, and 10 additional bouts - for a little over 3k.
We booked with Vito from Pedestals (tell him I referred you if you decide to go there).
Here's about what it'll look like. We're supplying the mirrors.

yeh, it sounds about reasonable.

Re: Help out a 09 Bride!
For what you stated it sounds reasonable but yes I'd go to about 3-5 diffrent florists and ask for the same types of things just to get diffrent quotes.
