I highly HIGHLY recommend going with Flowers by Nancy Joslin. She is SO insanely sweet and will definitely work with your budget. I think she does flowers for fun or something because she mostly charges for just the flowers and a bit
more for her time. My really good friend recommended her to me after seeing her work from a co-workers wedding pictures. She has a ton of experience too!
Here's a breakdown of my floral costs:
Bride: Dome style bouquet with white calla lilies, white/pink throat cymbidium
orchids, and vendela roses. Stems to be partially wrapped in ivory
ribbon with pearls
$80.00
Bridesmaids (4): Dome style bouquet with white calla lilies, green cymbidum
orchids and stems partially wrapped in green ribbon
$260.00

I'll be providing 8 more centerpieces of my own that won't be flowers. We have to do corsages and bouts for the family but one of my FSILs will be doing those for me. Nancy will order the roses for me and also
provide me with the pins, green tape, corsage band, etc totally at wholesale cost!
My total without the family flowers will be $1202 including delivery/set-up (and if I do the tall centerpieces with just dendrobium orchids.. we're adding 2 hydrangea balls on each as well for only $3 each!!).
PM me if you want her info!!!
