Help with flowers

Hiya, I was wondering if anyone can recommend a good florist to do all my flowers. I live in Bexley Kent. I don't really know the 1st thing about flowers or how much they cost.:confused:

    The cost of flowers is variable, however, it will be cheaper if you use flowers that are in season rather than those that have to be imported as these will cost more. A wedding bouquet can vary in size and price.

    There is a good book that you may be able to borrow from your local library called "Wedding Bouquets" which is produced in association with Wedding Flowers Magazine. This book contains over 300 bouquet designs which may help you decide on the look you want to achieve.

    If you buy flowers regularly, ask the florist to give you a quotation (you don't have to take them up on it). Also if you have crafty friends, perhaps they could make the bouquet for you.

    Do you have to have real flowers??

    I am having foam flowers, and they are great (imo). An ebay seller made my bouquet the way I wanted it. I didn't want mine to die after the wedding, and this way we can take them to the cemetery afterwards. Works out much cheaper as well - my bouquet was under £35
