Looking for florists for southern CT wedding with no/low minimum spend

My fiance and I are getting married 10/17/26 at Saybrook Point and are looking for florists in that service area with low/no minimum spend and advice on our floral budget.

Our budget is $3,600.

5pm outdoor ceremony, indoor reception, around 175-200 guests (15-20 tables). Wedding party of 6 bridesmaids and 6 groomsmen, plus 3 mothers, 1 grandmother and 2 dads.

We’re going for colorful, in-season October blooms. Our colors are burgundy, plum, berry, moss green, and navy.

We’re planning to use candles as the main table decor with small floral accents, and reuse as much as possible from the ceremony for the reception.

Open to options for ceremony flowers in budget - we don’t have a fixed vision and are open to whatever you’d recommend for a waterfront setting that also translates indoors / reduces costs.

Quoting: bridal bouquet, 6 bridesmaid bouquets, 6 groomsmen boutonnieres, 2 dad boutonnieres, 4 corsages for mothers/grandma, and ceremony piece(s) that can hopefully be repurposed for table centerpieces and the sweetheart table. Happy to reuse bridesmaid bouquets for tables as well.

Looking for recommendations on what people have spent for similar and recommended florists in that area.
