I have a $0 budget for flowers (lol) well close to that. Can anyone suggest an inexpensive florist? I do not need too much and I do not mind using babys breath! Everything so far has been more than expected and now this part is scaring me. I have a very tiny wedding party but I have I think 22 tables that's the killer.
Try Burtons in Huntington. It's the same price regardless if the type of flower.
Try hidden essence. Michelle was great and worked within our budget and came in under the top number I gave her.
Laurie LA Blossom. The price is based on the type of centerpiece not the flowers. She does amazing work. I can message you her info.
Definitely try Hidden Essence
Definitely Burton's. They change not by the flower but by the pieces. They will definitely work with you and are our cheapest vendor by far!
Try Tim's florist in Massapequa or try Flowers by Emil in Brooklyn...there is a charge for delivery but if someone went to get them, there is no charge. They are super cheap. Let me know how it works.

I'm actually doing my own flowers and ordering from Sam's Club. They are very reasonable, especially if you don't have a budget for flowers and not really concerned with the type. My aunt used to work for 1800 Flowers and she couldn't believe the deal on many of the flowers!
There's lots of reviews on all the sites.
Sam's Club: http://www.samsclub.com/sams/flowers/1240.cp?altQuery=&rootDimension=&navAction=pop
Costco: http://www.costco.com/floral.html
BJ's: http://www.bjs.com/home/flowers--plants.category.3000000000000117098.385.2000184.1
I haven't bought yet, but my budget is $300-350 for everything. I only have a MOH, Best Man, MOB, MOG, groom and myself. As for centerpieces, I am just placing flowers in mason jars and calling it a day lol.
I was thinking of Costco. I went to the dollar store bought 2 vases I liked and now I need to see if I can do something with them. But what about the bouquet and boutonniere? nooo clue how to make those.
I believe u can order those too. At least from stop and shop u can

Here's my progress so far, I have a gardeny vision and a budget of 1k. We are thinking 12 tables.
Wick's saw my vision and threw in the most 'extras'
free toss bouquet
free sweetheart centerpiece
free bathroom display
free cake flowers
free petals for flower girl
went home with free sample bouquet.
Beautiful Beginnings came in cheapest.
Black Dahlia made a beautiful display but quoted me highest.
Visiting burton's this weekend, and talking to a florist through a network as well. Right now it's looking like wicks, with some changes to bring down the price.
I may also still talk to stop & shop. Costco is great, but I didn't like the colors.

How did it go at Burtons? I got my dress at the bridal shop and was considering them for the flowers.
