Hard to ay bc of the type of flowers and the CP are low.

Also, are you doing a throwaway bo-k? Flowers for the moms/mary? I also recommend a secon groom bout. bc it will totally get smushed during the receiving line

Sometimes people present roses to the moms when they present flowers to Mary during church. Not sure what religion you are, but I've seen this done a lot at Catholic ceremonies.

I'm catholic and I never heard of that and I've been to many catholic weddings where I have not seen that either. Our moms requested coursages because they dont want to carry around a bouquet the whole time so thats why we are doing that.

I think its high but it could be because of the flowers you are getting. I just asked for certain colors and got the least expensive flowers and the price worked out really good for me.
