    I think it all depends on what type of flowers you would like, Some are so expensive and other are quite cheap it, How they work the cost out is per flower stem and go from there (Thats how my florest is doing mine)

    Ive got 8 buttonholes
    2 bridesmaids
    and mine flowers = £67 - My flowers for me are £23 just because im having something simple the more there is work wise the more expensive it is x

    what kind of flowers are you having? If that is for 8 bouquets then that sounds like a good price to me, but it does depend on what your having. x

    Are each of your bridesmaids having bouquets?
    If so that seems a cheap price to me for 8 bouquets! :) Xx

    your flower girl can have either, its really a matter of choice. My bridesmaids are children and are having pomanders (kissing balls). x

    i think that sounds reasonable! We're getting my bouquet, 4 bridesmaids bouquets, a flowergirl posy and 9 buttonholes for £198 so that sounds like a good price to me :o)

    i think my flowergirl would love a basket of petal or whatever to scatter as she is a wee terror lol and loves to make a mess this way she can do it and not get into trouble for it lol.

    my 2 daughter who will be 8 and 7 when i get married are going to have flower wands like this instead of a full bouquet as think it will be easier for my youngest to manage.

    I think that sounds like a great price. I'm paying £275 for my bouquet, 3 bridesmaids bouquets, 5 mens buttonholes, 2 ladies buttonholes and rose petals to scatter on the tables. We are having calli lillies and roses which I think are quite expensive flower to have mixed with some seasonal berries and foliage.
