That is way too much $!
I paid $2200 for all that but DOUBLE your amount of centerpieces!
Mine were all fall colored roses too....see pcis in my album. My florist was awesome...they are a LIW Vendor. Do a search on Masters and Co. and deal with Laurie - she's amazing!

Way too much $$$! Roses aren't that expensive, my florist (Designs by Rose) told me that roses are the second cheapest flowers to purchase besides carnations because they are shipped flat.

Wow, that seems extremely high to me. I am using Flowers By Brian which everyone says is expensive and I am having calla lillies & roses (my cp are all calla's (which cost way more than roses). My total is coming out too less than $3,000. I also have 5 bridesmaids, 1 MOH and 5 groomsmen and 1 best man, 4 parents, 1 grandfather & 1 grandmother, ring bearer and flower girl.
I am not having an archway.
HTH..

WAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
too much and not the cost, but what you are getting for the cost.
Should be half. You have a small bridal party. Guys flowers should be thrown in. Is there not a rose to be found in your floral selections? I ask bc that is the only reason why I could see it being so high.

OMG you need to back out NOW. That is a disgrace someone is charging you that much $ for that little! No offense but why did you book them? That is just a ridiculous amount of money!?!?!?!?! I'm confused and yes you def. got screwed!
