AVERAGE COST ON FLOWERS

Hi all - on average how much do flowers cost all together - church, reception bridal party - are talking about 5 grand? I`m looking for something better then just nice.

Any ideas?

It really all depends on what you want, and how much of it you want. The florist I`m working with is THE premier wedding florist in my state and for everything I wanted it was budgeted at $3000. BUT, I can`t afford that so they`re willing to help me out by cutting back on how elaborate everything is but I`m not cutting out ANYTHING. Our new budget is $1500 which includes them coming to the ceremony and setting up, waiting till the ceremony is over and taking everything down, then going to the reception to set up. I have an archway for our gazebo, aisle decorations, my bouquet, three bridesmaids bouquets, 15 centerpieces, and leis (I`m in Hawaii) for all the groomsmen, groom, parents, grandparents, and out of town guests. So really, you can get what you want for as much as you want as long as you are willing to work with the florist.
