The Flowers Flowers. We were amazed at the differences in cost from one florist to another, in both silk and fresh flowers. For the first wedding, the church was already decorated with poinsettias so the only flowers we needed were the bride's and her attendants. Long-stemmed roses tied with a ribbon ("hand-tied roses") were less expensive than a bouquet and my daughter liked that look for her attendants. She chose a rose bouquet for herself. Her "throwaway" bouquet doubled as a centerpiece on the bridal table at the reception. Total floral bill, less than one hundred dollars. For the summer wedding, the bride designed her own bouquets and altar flowers with the assistance of the florist. Total bill for six bouquets, altar flowers and the groom's boutonniere was $175. All other boutonnieres and corsages were made from silk flowers for less than $30. How-to books are readily available at craft stores.
