How much for florist?

I just got a quote from my florist and this is what I'm getting:

Small clip arrangement for bible (instead of bouquet)
3 BM arrangements
1 Mother's corsage
4 Smaller corsages
9 boutineers
2 altar arrangements

The woman quoted me over $700! Is this normal?

I am not sure if that is a normal price for what you listed (although it does seem alot ) I haven't even gotten to that point in planning my wedding yet. Right now I just have alot of dreams..: ) And not much else yet..lol

ANYway!..... I heard that it may be best to simply order your flowers (or ask for a quote) without stating they are for a wedding. Some business' raise their prices whenever they hear the word "Wedding" and will make you pay hundreds of dollars more than the flowers(or other items) may have cost regularly. Try ordering "generically" without telling them what the flowers are intended for. Just tell them its for a special occasion....or something of that Nature. It may not help but many people have told me to try it.

Hope that helps: )
