It might not be what you are looking for but I had my flowers from Carpenter's Greenhouse in Newmarket, NH and they did a fanbloodytastic job, all I gave them was some ideas and they created the most beautiful bouquets!

I don't know how much it cost but I can ask. I know under $300 but don't know how far under. We didn't do corsages or boutonierres or centerpieces or anything though - just my bouquet, 3 bridesmaids bouquets and one table arrangement. I had hydrangeas in October - not totally out of season but not fully in season either.

Thanks!! It was actually my husband's design idea :) I was just going to do a ribbon around the base of each tier... it tasted great too!

Are you in the eastern or the western part of the state?

I'm basically smack dab in the middle but a little more eastern. We're getting married in manchester.

Bridal bouquet ($125)
5 corsages ($15 a piece or so)
11 bouts ($10 a piece)
