How much did you pay for your flowers?

I know this is a difficult question because prices vary depending on where you live. However, I met with a florist yesterday and was pretty shocked by the price of the flowers. I was really planning on doing minimal amounts of flowers. I will explain what we actually need. I have lantern centerpieces.... so I did NOT need flowers for my tables. I only have two bridesmaids (so I thought that would cut down on flower costs as well.) We decided on gerber daisies (which I heard were very reasonably priced!) We didn't need any flowers for the ceremony..... it's at the reception site and will already be decorated. Heres what we did need : My bouquet (gerber daisies, mini gerbers, and china asters), two bridesmaids bouquets (5-7 gerber daisies), grooms boutinere, two groomsmen boutineres, a corsage for mother of the bride and groom, boutinere for father of the bride and groom(carnations), 6 grandmothers (more of a boutinere than a corsage with a large and two small carnations), 6 grandfathers boutineres(carnations), a head table centerpiece with gerbers and china asters. Enough of the details... anyway.... I was quoted almost $500! Does that seem reasonable ? I don't know much about flowers, so I was thinking that was high! Someone told me they got ALL their flowers (including centerpieces for each table) for $600 ! What did everyone else spend, or plan on spending?
