The is the one thing where FH and I are rather unstuck. The flowers.
We're on a tight budget as it is, but I'm beginning to think that the $300 we've set aside isn't enough. Given I'd like a throw bouquet and we have three bridesmaids/groomsmen.
I have been quoted $310 which includes wrist corsages for the bridesmaids, not bouquets.
Are we kidding ourselves? Or is there somewhere near me (I'm in Syd and have no car) where we can get them? I've seen a few US sites and they're not very nice.
Any help from the pink ladies?

Do you want to try love flowers? They can give you a detailed quote. And they heaps of flowers, sizes and shapes to choose from. If there isn't something on their site, Miranda would be more willing to give some advise so come in under budget. I got my flowers from there and they were really good. You could also give ebay a try? There are some brides on there that are now selling there wedding flowers, a good buy if you don't mind second hand. http://www.loveflowers.com.au[list=]Nick & Amy's S&T [/list]

I am getting mine from http://www.artificialweddingbouquets.com.au/Karen is LOVELY and I am sure if you tell her your budget she could arrange something to fit it. I am getting one brides bouquet and one corsage and it is costing me $95 including postage.  Proud to be Rebecca08's Belly Buddy

I;m contacting Karen, I fell in love with Valley roses and I didn't think I'd be able to get lillies of the valley

The stuff is also less than I've been quoted in the flower shops here.

Karen just got back to us with a quote and FH is please with the price, she can do what we want for our budget!  I just would like to see samples really, just to see the flowers for myself.
