I bought silk flowers and made all of the bouquets myself. The ones we wound up with were my second attempt. At first I thought I wanted a cascading bouquet, but I saw lots of pictures of hand-tied style ones made with vintage looking flowers and decided to go with that.
The flowers were small magnolias, hydrangeas, and white filler material. I added in there peacock "swords" to tie in with the boutonnieres and flower girl basket. Mine was a bit bigger than the bridesmaid bouquets, and had blue, brown and ivory ribbon. The bridesmaids had ivory and brown ribbon (their dresses were blue).
I spent between $10 and $15 each on the bouquets. It is hard to have a per-item cost on them.
The accompanying photo is an early one--I filled it out a bit more before the wedding and hot-glued some of the hydrangea leaves to the bottom to create a collar for the flowers.
Our Out of Pocket cost for the bouquets: $30-$45
