    I am just starting to look at flowers for my wedding day - can anyone tell me what i should expect to pay roughly as i have no idea?

    I am looking for flowers for the church, the reception, bride/bridemaids and button holes - i think?

    I think it all depends on styles, flowers you want and the season and amount and of course whether you want real, foam or silk etc.

    We have been quoted £350/400 for real flowers for the following:

    1 Bride Bouquet (15 white roses with diamantes, purple freesia and purple Estonia, round, with grass over the top)
    6 Bridesmaid bouquets (9 white roses and 3 purple Estonia)
    Table decoration for the top table/ceremony table (greenery plus the 3 flowers mentioned)
    8 button holes (white rose and purple Estonia)
    6 corsages (white rose and freesia)
    3 thank you bouquets

    deff depends what flowers you want ( if they have to be imported )
    how many items you want ...
    size of bouquets

    etc etc

    the best thing to do is go and talk to a few florists
