Is this a good price for flowers?

I know I didn't get a 'steal' in my flower quote but this is what was offered. (this is from a reputable vendor and I had heard of florists being late/not showing up so I will pay a little more for reliability).

1 Bridal Bo-k (clutch)
2 MOH bo-k
6 BM Bo-k
2 Mom corsages
10 boutineers
18 CP (tripod tiers with pillar candles- flowers at base)
1 sweetheart table waterfall flowers arrangement.
2 flower baskets for the ceremony
10 pew bows

the price came to 2,500...does this sound fair?

TIA!

Re: Is this a good price for flowers?

We went to Pedestals. We got this package for a few reasons.

1- Our reception is at Fox Hollow and they give a slight discount for that. (I think that gave us about 10 off CP)

2-February wedding, another little discount (didn't specify)

3-We signed right there. (they said that the boss was feeling generous- I think it's b/c they knew we would probably need the additonal flowers and the $$ would go up in the end)

FH wasn't sure b/c this was the only florist we went to but I knew this was a fair price and I didn't want to keep shopping (I work and go to school). The only catch is additional CP are 100 and while this isn't bad, we only had 18 in the package- we may need 7 more...in that case I think we can negotiate a lower per CP cost and then add the additional CP as long as we don't go below the 2500 we signed for. Maybe add more green and less flowers or change the CP. I also want to add votives and rose petals...that shouldn't be too much tho.

Thanks for the feedback! FH will feel better.
