I heard people getting bulks of flower at the LA Flower District for cheap. I was there two weeks ago and bought some flowers to practice making bouquets for my Wedding November 08. I love the results and plan to do all the floral arrangements and bouquet for my wedding.
How do I come about ordering batches of flowers from the LA Flower District? Do I just go in the day before and grab what ever flower I want or should I meet with certain floral shops in the facility to order in advance.
Please provide answers, thanks.

Reply:Just go into the Flower Market during public hours. Public hours are 6 am to noon Tuesday, thursday, Saturday or 8am to noon M,W,F. You'll have to pay the entrance fee (a whooping $1 on Saturdays or $2 any other day) and they'll stamp your hand and give you a sticker to wear to show that you paid.
Then you just wander around a purchase between the 2 warehouse buildings.
Two (okay 3) words of warning though:
-Shop around for prices before handing over money.
-Most places only take cash, so you need to have it on you, or there are ATMs
-Go early! Some places pack up around 9 or 9:30 so it is to your benefit to roll out of bed and put on your lazy day clothes to get down there.
