We DIYed our flowers with a combination of some basics used for centerpieces (roses, hydrangeas, snapdragons) from another retailer (rhymes with Lostco) and purchased the more specialty blooms and greenery through fifty flowers for our bouquets and boutonnieres. By using all whites and greens, the varying species of blooms coordinated well together and we ended up with more flowers than we needed, putting bouquets in the bathrooms, the entrance hall, etc. My favorite purchase from fifty flowers was the boutonnieres - the Star of Bethlehem flowers were unique and beautiful! We ended up spending around $600 from Fifty Flowers on 5 bridesmaid bouquets, 13 boutonnieres, 3 corsages, ranunculus for our cake and greenery for 15 centerpieces. We spent about $1,000 total on flowers (roses, hydrangeas and snapdragons from the other retailer, also beautiful) and spent a few hours the day before the wedding putting everything together, but it was worth it for the value and we got tons of compliments on all of our flowers!
