Are you from Miami or is this a destination wedding?

Have you tried asking for references from the venue where you will be having your wedding? They should know reliable suppliers.

Make the arrangements with your local FTD florist.

Your local FTD florist makes all the arrangements with the Miami FTD florist. You get to see pictures and choose what you want without being on the phone for hours.

I live in Miami and the florist recommendations I received were starting $5000 and up. It's just way too much! Tomfuller, I will check the site out, thanks!

I have had truly dreadful experiences with FTD, truly dreadful. Anniversary flower arrangements were low quality schlock and about twice as much as walking into the florist itself. I now call the local public library and ask the reference librarian who they would use if they were sending flowers to their mom (BF, whatever). Then I call the florist direct.

HOWEVER, in this case I think the OP should ask her girlfriends first. Then the church. She should be trying to find an independent wedding flower arranger who will be buying at the local fresh flower market (Miami is one of the largest in the country) and who will pass on the savings.
