This is a place I found on the web when I was trying to help out a friend. She got a deal form a local shop so we didnt use them, but they pricing seemed good and they have packages you can get. If you have a store called Costco in your area they have good deals on flowers too.

Just a side note on cakes...
We didnt want to spend to much on it and people never seem to be that appreciative. Costco was a big help. Their sheet cakes were 14.99 and we just have then decorate them in white. We bought her a small tradional wedding cake but served the sheet cakes to the guest.. its was fabulous and you arent paying 6-8 bucks a person for cake.
For the rehersal dinner we got the same sheet cakes to use, but to dress them up we had digital pics of her and her husband printed out on ricepaper. If you have the photos of you both you can get this done and like Safeway or Alberstons for fairly cheap 12 bucks or so. We added those to reg cakes and just used more white frosting around the pics to hold them in place. In the end you have a very designer cake for a lot less money.
Good luck with everything and congrats!

I would just look at pictures to get ideas, then go to a local craft store for fake ones or a local grocery store w/ a floral section for ideas.
I used roses for my wedding and paid $12/dozen at Kroger, and they were pretty good.
Also I don't know where you live, but look up online to see if there is a Flower Factory near you, they have some cheap fake flowers that are really nice, and a bunch of other cheap wedding supplies.

Costco has AMAZING wholesale flowers. Especially if you want to do say, an all rose weddding or one particular kind of flower, you can save a ton.
Their flowers last forever and I know 3 girls who did this- 1 with just roses, one with an assortment, and one with gerber daisies and they were all gorgeous. My friend won one of the rose centerpieces and it lasted for 2 WEEKS after the wedding!
You can buy ribbons from AC Moore to handtie the bouquets and vases for the centerpieces there as well. They even have the high vases if you wanted to do them.

When I married I went to Stop & Shop (New England grocery chain) and bought my flowers there. It was three bunches for $10 at the time, now it's 3/$12...if you're happy with tea roses and other simple flowers it's the best way to go and you can probably alert them in advance and they'll make sure they have fresh flowers for you.
Good luck and congratulations!!!!

If I were you I would go and get your flowers from your local large grocery store if they have a floral department
I saved hundreds of dollors doing this.
