Unrealistic flower price??

Okay am i being unrealstic here i would like:
my bouquet
5 BM bouquets
1 MOH bouquet
flower pedals for FGs
13 boutenierrs (this is for GM, FFIL, my dad, and FBILs)
4 Corsages
Flowers for the alter and some ribbons on the aisle

18-20 CPs i wanted to do half high and half low

and some flowers for the cake.....i think thats it....

i really wanted to spend a max of 3000.....but it seems impossible, am i being unrealistic?? you can be honest.....its the CPs that are taking the bulk of the money.....i already went to:

Flower Micele
Verbena
Flowers by brian

i really don't want to go over that budget for flowers....

Try Burtons or Flower Barn...

Also, I think at most places the bouts are free or VERY minimal.

I don't thikn thats unrealistic.

The only thing i wasn't getting was the flowers for the church but i was getting everytihng else and was quoted 2000 at Arcadia up in westchester.

it's not unrealistic..go to flower barn. He has the best prices and tries to work with you.

thanks ladies!! i'll give those two florists a call and hopefully they can work with my numbers

no nothing exotic, i'm more about the colors of the flowers.....i am fine with roses i just want them to match my color scheme.....and i'm getting married in june so everything is basically in season.....
20 tables x 125 is already 2500 so it adds up......

so are the cp's and bok's roses? and sometimes even being in season such as orchids and calla lilies they are always expensive, or branches too.

If everything is roses then you should def be able to get it for $3k, unless you do those real big round bunches of roses, those get pricey only bc they need to use so many roses to do them but otherwise should be fine.

And yeah it does add up, i had 22 tables and all high cp's and just cp's come out to alot. My flowers did come out to a bit more than 3k but i also had alot of bok's, bout's, pew bows, altar arrangements and cp's were calla lilies, orchids and curly willows. But you also said that you were doing half high half low cp's so should be less than $2500 for the cp's since the low cp's should be less than $125, what did they quote you just for the low cp's?

you have FM

try designs by rose
def realistic
i used them and them

try Burtons. I had basically all of that except for the alter flowers and the centerpieces and I spent like $650-$750. If they cant get it for under 3k, maybe try more simple centerpieces or DIY ones.
I used expensive flowers too- but Burtons charges the same price for any kind of flower as long as they can get it.

I second this. They would also have ideas for how to mix up your high and low cp's. Very artistic and creative.
