Mine is $500, but i'm doing my own flower-less centerpieces.

I have only three bridesmaids and four groomsmen, and i'm considering having a single cala lily with a ribbon around the stem for each lady, and a couple for me.

I am considering some rose petals for the ceremony, but it's on a deck, so I'm not sure yet. I have TONS of time, lol.

Re: what is/was your floral budget?

these are all pretty reasonable prices for what you are all getting, makes me feel better about shopping around. i would like to find a vendor who does decor as well as flowers because i am going to be renting chaviari chairs and linens and an all in one vendor would work best for me...

When I was looking, I got a quote for $10,000!!! Granted I have 28-30 tables and 6 bm, but I was doing highs and lows. I was like, 'Thanks, but no Thanks!' I was able to get everything I wanted for more than less than half!
