well we want a lot for our ceremony:

decorated arch probably with all red roses, and then maybe 4 rose pieces on the 4 columns - but i want ALOT of flowers in them - and rose petals and candles along the aisle....

for the reception room i want something with pine in the middle and maybe a few candles with cranberries - for 18 tables.....

and then 3 BM's bok's my bok, and the toss away bok.....

nothing else I can think of!



sounds/looks really nice

thanks, i hope everything looks okay and is on the cheap side! im not really into flowers - well of course i think they are beautiful and if we didnt have a budget i am sure i would want to go all out - but since we are on a budget i dont want to spend too much on the flowers, i rather our ceremony room be decorated nicely - i think the reception room we picked speaks for itself and doesnt need to much decor - i rather spend the money on other things.....like my wedding band

$1,200 for 10 centerpieces (simple), my bouquet, 3 BMs, 3 corsages, 2 arrangements for the church/reception.
These are East End prices, though.

Don't worry, you will find someone who is willing to work within your budget. I felt the same way about flowers, being that they will be dead before we get back from the honeymoon, I couldn't see spending a fortune. I set a budget of no more than 2k and I managed to find a florist who ended up under that amount. Everything will be mini callas, so I was very happy with the price. I am getting:
My BoK
5 BM Boks
1 FG basket
9 boutonnieres
6 corsages
15 CPs
Mantel Arrangement
Arrangement for the reception table
tool (sp?) w/flowers for the staircase
I may add some flowers for the church, but I am not sure what they church allows at this point.
