You could prob diy the rhinestone stuff and save some money there.. It's not a horrible price though!

They said they are throwing in the votives and table numbers. This price is just for flowers. I feel it's still a little high ...they are family friends, so they came down in price a good amount...but still....

You can do the centerpieces yourself and order flowers from BJ's and do the floating flower arrangement with floating candle and water beads, etc looks really pretty. The vases you can get at dollar tree for $1 each, same with the floating candles and water beads. If you can do the centerpieces yourself it saves alot of money. We are doing ours for about $8 a piece. The votive candles you can also get at the dollar tree. I know having real flowers is more pretty but I can't see spending that much money when they are just going to die in a few days after the wedding. So I'm going with the silk flowers or the real flowers that I can order by stems that are not expensive.

That is a great price, but I wasn't planning on DIYing the flowers. We'll be using a florist, but idk what usual prices look like....

If that price is 'just for the flowers' (not the other stuff), I think you could definetly do better! Especially since you say they gave you a discount- your estimate seems like full price to me. I would shop around.
