The florist is out to make as much money as they possibly can with you. They will show you the most beautiful arrangements are first and then go down in costs as they see what your budget may be.

Sometimes a bride sees a famous photographer as more valuable then flowers. Others see that the flowers are the most important display besides the food. If you are a bride on a tight budget, you can substitute candles on the tables instead of flowers. Your guests would probably be impressed by seeing white candles on the tables.
