You pretty much have got enough, except some sort of corsage or tussy -mussy for the two Moms, and it is a custom to give the grandmoms something, too, but you don’t have to. You could reduce that cost by having a single rose, with or without a bow for each of them.
The arch will take care of decorating the church, you don’t have to have more there.
If you want to have flowers on the cake table, fine, but the cake can be there alone, no problem.
If you want a bouquet for yourself to save forever, then there is that, but you don’t have to do that, either.

You can have as many or as few flowers as you want.

if you have a flower girl, you can go to the store and buy fake red rose petals …..they have them at any craft store for like 300pcs for 3.95$ roughly. that’s normally the price…give or take a few cents.

im just doing myself (bride), my bridesmaids and the bouteniors… i dont have any flower girls or anything (just my adults!) so nothing else is really neccessary.

i think since you’re doing an outside wedding that’s more of a relaxed feel, you’ll be fine… people only expect at least the bride and her maids to have them… my last wedding i was in, the guys had lil pocket squares… no bouteniors and it looked really good too…

Usually the mother of the bride and groom get a corsage and the fathers get a boutonniere as well.
If you have a flower girl you can just get some fake flower petals from Michaels. Oh – and don’t forget to make a separate bouquet for you to toss.

You can have as much or as little as you want, its your day.
Dont forget the corsage for the mums tho as this is usual but for buttonholes for the rest of the guests forget it, its too expensive and not necessary.
We have over 160 guests for our wedding next June and they certainly will not be having flowers lol.
Good luck.
