Default Artificial Flower Cost?? Help!

So I'm trying to buy my flowers for the wedding, I can't order from AA because it's too late, but I found a place nearby, that has the same quality as AA but I don't know if I'm overpaying or getting a deal, I just have no idea how much they should be. If anyone who ordered artificial flowers could let me know what they paid that would be great!! Thanks!!
This package cost $462 including taxes:
1 Bridal Bouquet
1 Toss Bouquet
4 BM Bouquet
1 Groom Bout
6 other Bouts
2 Mothers Corsages
Extra flower for cake and hair
3000 rose petals

I don't know for sure if you are getting a good deal, but it sounds like you are getting a lot for the price What kind of flowers are you getting & where did you end up going through?

It's called bitter sweet wedding design it's near my town (six hours away!) and I think they'll be orchids, roses, and some tropical flowers.

Sounds like a good deal to me.
I think the flowers at Riu are kinda pricey so bringing your own sounds like a good idea.

Thumbs up Re: Artificial Flower Cost?? Help!

If you compare it to Riu prices, I think it's a great deal.

Are you getting your flowers from the Riu or did you go somewhere else?

Those prices sound reasonable to me. You are getting all of your flowers for less than $500. Just think if you would have gotten fresh, they would have been 2 or 3X that amount.
Does anyone happen to have a list of prices for flowers at the ROR?

Have you checked ebay?? I know that you will be having to ship to Canada so shipping will be more... but my package was not that far off (as in amount) and I got it for 279. Most of the woman on ebay work with you make you mock arrangements so you know exactly what you are getting. Maybe check out ebay? I do think that between faux and real... you are getting a super deal!
