    My flowers cost less than £300 and for that i have got;

    1 hand tied bridal bouquet with lisianthis, gerberas and other purple flowers i cant think of!

    2 brides maids same as mine only smaller

    2 flower girl wands (large gerbera with ribbons etc on)

    5 button holes including a more fancy one for the groom

    2 corsages

    2 thank you bouquets

    and 8 table center pieces (6 large lily vase with a single gerbera, bear grass and coloued cube things in the vase and 2 small square vase with the same types of flowers in my bouquet for top table)

    I live in the North east if that helps as i know prices vary depending on where you are.

    Also get a quote from more than one florist as the first one i went to was extrosionate and the one i went with is the more "up market" if you like out of them both.

    £250 in total for:

    Mum and MILs orchid corsages

    7x Rose button holes

    I'm only paying for the cost of the flowers as a family friend is doing the arrangements as a gift to us! It has meant I can have some fabulous flowers without spending a fortune! We were quoted well in excess of £500 by a number of florists initially.

    £800 for the following:

    1 x bridal bouquet

    2 x bridesmaid bouquets

    1 x flowergirl bouquet

    2 x pedetals

    10 x table centre piece arrangements with vase hire included

    15 x botton holes

    3 x ladies button holes

    They're all roses- no other flowers. We got a few quotes that ranged from £500 through to £1300. We decided to go with our florist because she understood the look we were wanting and I felt confident she would do a good job on the day.
