I'm thinking of using proflowers.com for my flowers because a) I adore their Calla Lily and Star of Bethlehem bouquets, and b) I love flowers and I really want them to look beautiful, but I have absolutely no desire to work with a florist to figure out what we want--I'd rather have the choices made for me. SO, this website (which I found through a PS referral) seems to be the perfect option.

Now, here's my question--does this price sound right for what we'll get?

Total Cost w/Shipping: $2270 plus tax

Includes:
2 Bridal Bouquets (1 Calla Lily, 1 Star of Bethlehem)
5 Bridesmaid's Bouquets (5 Calla Lilies)
17 Centerpieces (6 Calla Lillies, 11 Star of Bethlehem)
8 Flower Girl Aisle Petal Bouquet (10 full
size roses) → Can use these as centerpieces if we want to, or other decorations
18 Boutonnieres
2 Wrist Corsage (2 flower girls)
10 Pin-on Corsages
10 corsages/bouts for musicians

I'd get two of their "I Do" collections, one with Callas and one with Star of Bethlehem. We'd end up with about 5 extra corsages and 4 bouts, which I figure we can use to decorate the restroom and other various areas.

What do you think? Does this sound reasonable, or will I be overpaying for the luxury of having someone else make all of my floral decisions for me?

Thanks!

OR should I go for color and get the Royal Roses in a fun color, like orange or dark pink?
AAAAAH! I am flower challenged!
(That is, assuming that I should use Proflowers at all . . . )

My bridesmaids dresses are now going to be a turquoise color, it's called Tiffany Blue, if that helps. I wanted them to wear different colors but there was a bit of a row over who gets what color, so we settled on the blue, instead. Are white flowers best?

I like the white calla and star of bethlehem combos on there. They look pretty. As for prices. Well, if they quality is really nice you are getting a pretty solid deal. Did you check them out against Costco's prices?

I haven't checked Costco--thanks for the suggestion, Gypsy! I'm pretty sure FI has a membership there--that's a members only place, right? I had no idea Costco did flower arrangements.

They do. And I know that some folks have been very pleased with what they've received from them in terms of wedding arrangements. Honestly even if you don't have a membership it's worth the thirty bucks to get one if you decide to get flowers to them. I just have a lot of confidence in costco's willingness to stand behind their products.
