I might just go all orchids or something local to keep costs down, though I think flowers do have a big impact on the overall look so I do want them just right
I did ALOT of research on flowers in Jamaica and I still havent completely nailed down a florist but I think I am going with Boulevard Florist out of Negril. They are the supplier for the Couples Swept Away in Negril, and while I can't find anyone on BDW that has used them for more than their standard bouquet, they were well recommended by a wedding planner in Negril I spoke to. Their quote was the best I received. Actually all of the quotes I got from the florists in Jamaica were WILDLY different, some were like triple what she quoted me. I've never recieved quotes from florists before but... WOW!
Only the Dendrobium orchids are local to Jamaica. All others are imported. I found a flower supplier on facebook who has her own greenhouses in Jamaica and had photos of some of the locally grown flowers and imports. Check here :http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?...a=8&ajaxpipe=1
Amazingly, even she was more expensive than Boulevard, but I think she's smaller and probably pays more for the imports I asked about.
Good luck!
