I'm in Glasgow, and have ordered silk flowers from Daisy D Does - she can post to you and is so helpful and reasonably priced :) I'm on a budget too and just couldnt justify the cost of real flowers.

I bought my flowers at tescos the night before and made up bouquets and button holes as I didnt want to pay loads! the only bit that let mine down was the handles as they weren't as neat as a professional, but I was happy with them! But we didnt want loads of flowers all over the venue, if it's just bouquets, I'd make your own x

The Bouquet Studio is AMAZING. I found Donna On Bridebook and the quality of the flowers are amazing, and they were extremely well priced.

I bought all my flowers from the range and then put them together myself, it was really easy I just used a cutter to separate them coloured duct tape to join the stems and then covered that with ribbon. It cost me less than £100 for 4 bridesmaids, 2 flower girls, me and the button holes. I’m not quite finished but I’m hoping there will be enough left for extra decor too xx

Alstromeira are cheap and easily available from supermarkets, once open they are very pretty and can be mixed with foliage and perhaps some 'baby's breath' (also cheap and easily available). They come in colours ranging from pink-tinged white, through to purple and also several yellows. Small spray carnations are much the same, but not so reliable for opening. Hope this helps.

Lidl... Or if you have a local college that does floristry contact them and ask if they would like to do the flowers as practice..
