Wedding flowers are a very important part of your special day, but it can also be one of the more expensive parts of the planning. With a little planning you can save several hundred dollars when you order your wedding flowers from a wholesale wedding flower retailer.
Here are two online wholesale florists that friends and family have used in the past to get the flowers they wanted for the least possible price.
Online Wholesale Flowers
Online Wholesale Flowers brings you fresh flowers directly from the farm for your wedding day. If you are comfortable with designing and decorating with flowers for your own wedding, your possibilities with this company are incredible. There is no minimum order required, so you can order a single bunch or hundreds, and the prices are very competitive. If, on the other hand, you want to pay wholesale prices but are worried about pulling all the flowers together into bouquets and arrangements, there are specially priced wedding collections. Each collection comes with enough flowers to create a bouquet and a set amount of arrangements, instructions to create the bouquets are also included.
The variety of flowers available is as good, if not better, as you would find at your florist. I found some very hard to find and exotic orchids among their selection as well as more types of roses than are available from a traditional florist. Prices are very competitive, two hundred long stem roses begin at $175 and go up depending on the type you choose. The company takes orders over the phone in order to go through all your options with you and help you determine the best deal, shipping is extremely fast and free when your order is at least $150, even next day shipping. www.OnlineWholesaleFlowers.com
Grower’s Box
Grower’s Box provides you with two options for purchasing your wedding flowers at wholesale prices. The Wedding in a Box sets are probably the smartest and most popular offerings from Grower’s Box. Each set provides you with a specially selected arrangement of fresh flowers that are shipped to your doors in as little as ten days. There are several different choices of flowers available, and each comes in different quantities so you can be sure to have enough for all your needs.
Flowers can also be ordered individually at wholesale prices, but they are only sold in preset amounts. Roses for example are sold in bunches of hundreds, this is a great option if you want several roses for the cheapest price available. Bunches cannot be split, so you will have to order large quantities of each flower that you want to use in your arrangements. For the family wedding I helped plan, both a wedding in a box set and a bunch of roses was ordered. The box set was used to create bouquets for the bride and bridesmaids that included several flowers, and the roses were used to decorate the wedding and hall.
The selection of flowers is not the widest, but it does include the most commonly used wedding flowers. A good selection of tropical flowers is also available. Shipping is free and orders can be made over the phone or online. http://www.growersbox.com
