Questions about flowers! (kinda long sorry)

Next Thursday we have an appointment with the florist from our RH. We are meeting her because with the florist the hall reccomends, they have CP available between 25-35 bucks a piece, they kind of give you a deal. I'm wondering what a decent budget is for flowers.

Heres what we have:

1 MOH
3 Bridesmaids
1 Best man
3 Groomsmen

aprrox 12 - 13 tables (we think)

Do the dad's get boutineers and stuff?
Who gets corsiages?

We haven't chosen bridesmaids dresses yet but I'm sure they will either be like a light brown color or a pink color. I really just want pink roses for the girls...

Is $1500 a reasonable budget for this size? Do you think I could do it for less?

Also, would it be strange to just get CP's from her for the decent price and get bouquets elsewere?
TIA! - Stacey

Im no experst but I think what you would spend. Dont forget you will may want flower girl baskets, a throw away bo-k, families do get stuff, nose gays or corsages, your choice. Nothing crazy but it all adds up

I think thats a reasonable budget. I personally do not want to spend over that.

$1500 would be ideal to spend, but I was told by my recently married friends that flowers tend to run in the $2000. Are you doing low or high centerpieces? Low is cheaper typically. I had one friend that I think spent close $3000 on flowers. If you can do the flowers for $1500 lucky you and jump on that!

Well the centerpieces are $25 - $35 each, but we may see something we like that's a little more money. This is only if you book with them cause u are getting married there kind of thing it's not for everyone...
