What flowers are in season and available the last week in September in the Detroit, MI area?
I'm getting married Sept. 27, 2008. I want to know my floral arrangement options.
What flowers are in season and available the last week in September in the Detroit, MI area?
I'm getting married Sept. 29, 2007 %26amp; we're having Gerbera Daisies...they are beautiful %26amp; inexpensive! The colors they come in are fantastic! Good Luck!! My bouquet will be mini calla's, which are a little more expensive.
Reply:Roses seem to be available year round and reasonable. We had Horrocks do ours. They are in Lansing and Grand Rapids. Not sure about Detroit, but they do deliver.
Reply:I really don't know that much about which flowers are in season. But I do know a wonderful florist. We use Viviano's all the time for both personal occasion and business occasions. They should be able to provide you with the best options for this time of year. You don't ultimately have to purchase your flowers for them, but most will provide a free initial consultation. At least this way you'll know what to look for. Here is their website: http://www.viviano.com/
Reply:Dear Future Bride,
Greetings from Troy Michigan. September is Homecoming month for most of the area schools. So florist will have a lot of roses, carnations,orchid blossoms,and alstroemeria. My best bet is to go with roses but carnations are a cheaper option. Thrifty florist always does nice wedding flowers. They also offer wedding discounts.
Reply:You have TONS of possibilities. Most flowers will come in those awesome autumn colors, like russet, orange, golden yellow, bronze, aubergine, and deep purples. But a lot of flowers are available year round. Something nice to get this time of year is wheat. Think of harvest time with baskets, arrangements in pumpkins, beautiful leaves and candlelight. Can you tell this is my favorite time of year?

How are the flowers at wholesale places different from the ones at Trader Joe's?
I'd like to buy bulk flowers and make arrangements myself. I've never visited a wholesale floral place before, but when I went to Trader Joe's (or some other supermarkets), they have cheap flowers as well ($10 for a dozen small roses). I was wondering, do they have similar prices at wholesale florals or are the prices similar? Thanks.
How are the flowers at wholesale places different from the ones at Trader Joe's?
Trader Joe is just a middle man he buys from wholesalers also, he just buys so much he gets a break on the price then he makes the $$, if you buy enough the wholesaler should give you a break also, you may need a resale license.
Reply:well i dont speak english really good and so i just wane chat and not answer ur questions so mail me at ------------------------charmedpinkcats@...
Reply:Wholesale florists are going to provide a better bulk selection and will most likely be fresher. Super markets usually get them after the wholesaler, more shipping and waiting time. Why not cut the middle man. There are also excellent web sites with great deals that will send the flowers right to your door, fast, fresh and cheaper. Don't forget to process them after. Alittle sugar in warm water after cutting is good for almost all flowers. (No milky stems).
Reply:Zoe has good advice. Wholesalers get fresh flowers...when they start to turn they "unload them" to high volume retail places at near cost....to keep them longer would mean complete loss of investment.
However, you ordinairly have to operate a business to get access to the wholesale places. That means your local permeits and state resale tax number before they will let you in the door.
Keep in mind you are dealing with a live commoditiy with limited "shelf life". Wholesaler get the cuttings in less than 24 hours. Retailers get theirs in up to 72 hours and what they don't sell goes into the garbage.
Reply:Trader Joe's are the freshest I have ever found. Daffodils last 2 weeks from there.

Suggestions for a fall themed wedding?
I'm having a fall themed wedding in New England in October...does anyone have suggestions for elegant floral arrangements, center pieces, or the cake? The colors are burgandy and ivory...
Suggestions for a fall themed wedding?
You should go on www.theknot.com they have message boards and you can click on theme weddings or fall weddings. Then click on the other brides names and on their profiles they put pictures of all their ideas. Thats how I got so many cute ideas for my beach wedding.
Reply:iI had a fall wedding also, in Louisiana though, but either way, if you send me your email, I would be happy to send you some pictures of mine to give ideas! I am not sure how formal your wedding will be, but I would be glad to help in any way possible!
Reply:aww how lovely! what nice colours! :)
how about incooperating these other colours as well as the two you already have:
~ if a blue burgundy - lavender (easy to find flowers), mushroom (elegant) and olive green
~ if a brown burgundy - orange (looks great for fall), light tobacco (just lighter orange) and green gold (similar to mustard).. this looks great for autumn/fall
~ if a pink burgundy - schiaparelli pink (bright pink.. could get lilies in with a hint of this in), nectarine (lovely in roses!) and a beige grey which i guess would be substitued for the ivory
have a lovely wedding! x
Reply:You can check this cool website I found. They specialize in themed weddings and parties. They even offer themed personalized favor ribbons. If you do not find what you are looking for, try emailing them. A lot of times they will be able to custom design items for you. They did for mine!
www.fairytaleweddingstore.com
They have VERY reasonable prices and great work too!
Reply:Do a dark chocolate cake, with dark chocolate icing, very simplistic with a few silk fall leaves arranges on the top and other tiers. The burgandy colour will be picked up in the leaves.

Do You HAVE To Have Flowers for the Wedding?
I will not have bridesmaids, or any flower arrangements at church or home. I just will have a small bouquet arranged from my backyard flowers for me. No corsages or anything. I believe it is a waste of $$, and the floral industry charges so much and then off to a honeymoon for 2 weeks in which I would never see floral arrangements that would wilt anyways. You say?
Do You HAVE To Have Flowers for the Wedding?
No, you don't have to have flowers, No one will say your wedding was terrible b/c there were no flowers. You could you hurricane vases filled with sand and a candle as a centerpiece (if you even want a centerpiece) or just use candles. A cheap place to get candles is www.candles4less.com
Reply:Weddings are meant to celebrate the union of two people. Do it how you feel suits you and your future spouse!
Reply:You make a good point. It's your wedding day so do what you want. I don't think it would be a problem to not have flowers... who cares right? I did have flowers at my wedding, but I didnt carry a bouquet, I just carried a single rose - most people were like "WHAT, NO BOUQUET" when I told them, but heck, its my wedding!
Do what you want. I think your day will be perfect for you no matter what... ditch the flowers if you want! Go for it!
Good luck and congrats!
Reply:It's your wedding. Do it the way you want it.
Reply:As long as your happy with it, I think it was a good decision. I also agree that it's a waste of money.
Reply:It's your wedding. Do it the way you want it.
Reply:Being that there's no legal requirement to have flowers, I say do what makes you happiest. I agree that most of the wedding fluffery is a waste of time and money.
Reply:fine with me !what ever you want . flowers die and are a waste of money and I tell my husband no flowers for me for , anniversity , birthday , valentines day or any other holiday
Reply:Great idea. Congratulations. Do what you want.
Reply:No, flowers are most definitely not a legal requirement.
Reply:I'm totally with you! I'm so sick of the notion that I have to do something in my wedding because that's the way it's always been. I had this revelation about corsages and boutonnieres the other night. Who needs them?
Reply:sounds really refreshing, good for you. The wedding industry is a real scam!!
Reply:I'm guessing your FH will love you for this!
If flowers are not a big deal for you, don't bother.
More focus on the wedding and the ceremony.
And, for my daughter's wedding, we got flowers from Kroger. They looked great.

Reply:Hi and congratulations!
NO....you DON'T have to have flowers at all! Personally, I LOVE flowers and would want some.
Here is a thought:
~ Do you have enough backyard flowers for 2 vases (can be bought at a dollar store) for each side of the altar at the church?
I do think that would look nice. OR....do you live by a Walmart or Costco? I buy roses all the time from Walmart...you get 12 for $10! Cheap! I don't know what Costco charges. All the grocery stores with floral departments (and some without!) even sell flowers now. My local grocery store does and I live in a little town!
I do think it would look nice to have something in the church. But, again, YOUR choice.
Also...something inexpensive would be ....what about a small boutonniere for your groom and a small corsage for the "moms"? This is EASY, EASY, EASY to do with silks, which you can make up ahead of time. And with all the upcoming sales at craft stores? Well, again, just an idea. If you got brave enough you could even do them with real flowers (again, from Walmart or a grocery store!) Here is a link showing how to do it:
http://www.save-on-crafts.com/cormakbas....
For everything....2 church arrangements, 1 boutonniere, and 2 corsages....it should be $30 max!
But, again, NO, you don't need anything! Good luck!
Reply:Nope...get creative and try something else-like ribbon bouquets(folded like flowers)
Reply:It is your wedding you can do what you want. I am having a small wedding and a large reception. And I agree that it is a waste of money to have tons of flowers if it is not what you want. I will not be having any flowers at my reception and I think that with the decorations that I will have it will be just as beautiful without spending money on lots of flowers that will just be thrown away once it is over.
Reply:it's your wedding, you do it the way you want. it's your day, noone elses.
Reply:i dont think you NEED flowers for a wedding but its nice to have 1 or 2 boquettes. but that makes alot of sence because 2week honeymoon and you wont get to see them
Reply:Of course you don't have to have flowers at your wedding. You don't have to do anything you don't want to do except sign the marriage license and say "I do."
But if you're only worried about flowers dying and not getting your money's worth, you can use silk flowers and give the bouquets as gifts to the mothers and grandmothers before going on your honeymoon. Flowers just make things look more festive.
Reply:Then don't have flowers. That simple!!! My hubby used to buy me flowers until I told him to stop - they die and I get sad. So for the last to years I get all sorts of little trinkets.
Reply:do whatever makes you happy. You could always substitute flowers with something else. Like my cousin took fish bowls and put floating flower candles in them. They looked cool enough without getting too expensive.
Reply:I say it is your wedding, do what you want! I like the idea of having flowers from your backyard. That sounds beautiful as well and more meaningful than just purchasing them from a store. Enjoy your wedding, congrats and good luck!
Reply:of course you do not need flowers at your wedding silly.. whatever you want!
Reply:it is your wedding. If you don't want to have flowers, it is fine. It is your wedding day, do whatever makes you happy.
Reply:flowers make it classy if you dont want a classy wedding then dont take flowers
its a good gesture that you are a civilized person

Am i the only one that thinks this or not?Do you think it's "morbid"to take flowers from someones funeral boqu
I think it's at least "morbid",if not disrespectful to take flowers from someones funeral boquets.I've ben to funerals and witnessed people swarming up to the casket(after the "grave-side service")to take flowers from the casket spray and other floral arrangements,reminding me of "VULTURES".C'mon people,those were bought FOR THE DECEECED!
Am i the only one that thinks this or not?Do you think it's "morbid"to take flowers from someones funeral boqu
I've never done it or seen people "swarm" to the the casket, but I have seen a few folks take a small flower from a spray after the graveside service. I try not to be too judgmental of people at funerals. We all grieve in our own way, so I wouldn't begrudge someone taking a small memento from a funeral spray. The deceased can't enjoy the flowers, so the living may as well use them however they see fit.

I am in the middle of making a beautiful rose quilt.

I crochet doilies, placemats, scarfs, mittens, taboggins, and beautiful coasters.
I like to make cabins and houses out of popcicle sticks.
I also make christmas ornaments and decorations out of construction paper such as large frilly wreaths to hang on the door, Large garland candy canes for a display in my living room along with a huge snowman with balled up colored tissue, silver bells with aluminum foil, small puzzle pieces christmas tree ornaments.

I make my own patterns there, too. That way, I get what I want. It's always seemed silly to me to let someone halfway around the world, whom I've never even met, decide what I'm going to be wearing this season. Makes no sense to me.
If you want to see my jewelry (yes, I share instructions) email me and I'll send you my website.

You can use a glue gun to attach these.

Reply:Wow... where do I start??
I am in the middle of making a beautiful rose quilt.
I am also crocheting 3 afghans and a infant baby dress.
I crochet doilies, placemats, scarfs, mittens, taboggins, and beautiful coasters.
I like to make cabins and houses out of popcicle sticks.
I also make christmas ornaments and decorations out of construction paper such as large frilly wreaths to hang on the door, Large garland candy canes for a display in my living room along with a huge snowman with balled up colored tissue, silver bells with aluminum foil, small puzzle pieces christmas tree ornaments.
I pretty much make all kinds of things when it comes to holidays. I decorated a whole room full of Halloween decorations from construction paper and plastic bags
I make bunny cakes for Easter and Christmas tree Cakes for Christmas.
I would like to start learning to knit. That is my next challenge if I can finish all that I have already started.
Reply:I make beaded crosses and other wire-%26amp;-bead jewelry, I knit all sorts of things -- I prefer making my own patterns, and I do share if you email me -- and I sew most of my own clothes. I make my own patterns there, too. That way, I get what I want. It's always seemed silly to me to let someone halfway around the world, whom I've never even met, decide what I'm going to be wearing this season. Makes no sense to me.
If you want to see my jewelry (yes, I share instructions) email me and I'll send you my website.
Reply:I make bedspreads, I make them light so they can be used year round- the way I make them you can do 1 in less than a week - e-mail me and I will tell you how. with no fiber filling.
Reply:With the holidays near, I make "snow families". I use different size styrofoam balls. I attach 3 together using toothpicks and then decorate them with felt, buttons, googly eyes, hats, etc.
You can use a glue gun to attach these.
I need some general ideas please?
Sarah’s Flower Designs is a fledgling, home-based business in Madison, Wisconsin, consisting of three employees. Sarah, the owner, handles all of the floral arrangements. Her assistant, Mark, handles the purchasing of flowers, related materials, and takes telephone and walk-in orders from customers. Mark also keeps the financial and client records in order. Kim is the delivery driver and makes local deliveries to homes and businesses.
Sarah’s Flower Designs is looking to upgrade its computer system (an older model PC) to help keep up with the growing demand of their customers. They would like to house their client information and order histories on their new system, as well as bill their customers electronically. They also want Kim to have a way to keep track of customer addresses and specific delivery instructions while she is on the road. What IT recommendations would you make for Sarah’s Flower Designs?
I need some general ideas please?
She needs to consult an IT person to build her a kind of software to process the business as she wishes!! the software will facilitates the work by allowing clients to process their order on line. She will not need to stay on the phone for orders as everything will performed by the software!!
Good luck

I like the stuff they have on this website. It's much more original than you tulle bows..

that and candals.
Reply:Pew bow with flowers in them would be very pretty. Also remember you'll have the alter flowers and sprays of red in them will look just beautiful (roses, lilies, gerber daisies etc) Your florist should have books for you to look through. Also does your church have columns? Sometimes they have hooks for hanging plants.

Houston Tx, Trying to plan a wedding and keep it cheep looking for nice venues any suggesttions?
Ok so I found a few parks and such and I found one actual venue t hat is relatively cheap I dont want it to look cheap we will do our own decorating any we are cooking the food, making floral arrangements centerpieces, I don't mind all that I just dont really want to spend over 3k on this wedding. I found a great bakery that is affordable, nice affordable dress, etc. just don't want to really spend over 1500 on a venue. (Wedding and Reception sight)

If you are willing to go to Galveston go to http://www.galvestonhistory.org they rent out their historical properties relatively inexpensive, especially on weeknights.
Reply:Two suggestions for venue, check with the church you or your parents belong to they often charge members $500 to nothing for the church and the community room, which has a kitchen but your family has to clean and sweep afterwards. Another check with the historical society on renting a building or garden. Oh and three, a friends backyard can be nice for a small group with reception inside, offer to pay for a maid service. Please don't forget to pay the preacher!

We are going to Puerto Rico for Christmas this year. Our families (parents, siblings) will be staying behind?
I want to have something delivered to them on Christmas Eve, to let them know that we are thinking of them while we are away, that has some Caribbean flair. I was thinking a beautiful tropical floral arrangement, but several of the people are allergic. Any other ideas? Please include web sites so that I may place my order. Thanks!
We are going to Puerto Rico for Christmas this year. Our families (parents, siblings) will be staying behind?
you could have sent fruit like mango's, pineapple, coconut, plantains, papayas.
or send over all the fixings for a Pina colada(it was invented on the island) dark Bacardi rum, coconut milk, pineapple juice,
a cd of puerto rican music.
good luck and have fun
Reply:It depends on what characteristic part of the Island you fall in love with. There's nothing truly authentic in San Juan or Condado, I traveled outside of the main areas of puerto rico to get a rich history of the culture.
When you shop for chachka's and souvenirs be weary of the vendors and the places they come from. A lot of it is made in DR, Brazil and hardly in PR. When I went I had to sift through items ie jewelry boxes, frames etc.. made from teak wood from brazil and as far as costa rica. The paintings came from DR/Haiti same difference cause they are made by Haitian Artists.
Make sure to travel to the outskirts of town and not fall into the trap of buying something touristy, no family memeber wants to be stuck with that. I bought a lot of mirros/ hand made frames and dresses when I went to puerto rico. Think about the gift and see if it would be something you would like sitting in your living room or the back of a closet.

Something to offer for a funeral? SOmething I can make myself?
Haven't got much money so I'm asking about some ideas for something cheap I can take or make for a funeral. Like a floral wreath, candle arrangement, etc. but i need some tips on how to make something nice. thanks!
Something to offer for a funeral? SOmething I can make myself?
When my Dad died many people gave us potted plants instead of flowers...I appreciated this very much, now I have a living reminder of him that I can look at daily.
Reply:Bring a nice plant in a pot that you have painted yourself, put in a little card on a florist pick, and give it to the funeral director. He or she will quietly place it with the other flowers, and the family will see your card later on.
You normally would not present a gift at a funeral. This is because a gift would put the attention on you, and you don't want that. If you want to make a candle or other craft, give it to them at home, after the funeral is over, when nobody else is around.
.
Reply:I just saw a great idea at a funeral last week. Someone had purchased a small picnic basket (probably from WalMart) and had attached a silk flower to top....something simple........and a handmade, "from" tag to the basket handles. Inside was several snack items, like lunch cakes, cracker snack packets, gum, Lifesavers, etc. When a family is spending hours meeting people at a funeral home, often it is hard to get 5 minutes to step aside and have a snack. The picnic basket full of quick snacks was a very welcome gesture and will be remembered long after flowers have faded. Giving a remembrance gift is very much a custom in my part of the USA......framed prints, figurines, etc. But I like the picnic/snack basket, the best.
Simple to put together, and they usually come lined in fabric. If not, purchase one cloth napkin for the snacks to be arranged on.

How hard is it to make a casket spray?
My father passed away on Monday and the funeral is Friday. The family is responsible for the flowers. We don't have a whole ot of money, and I was viewing some casket sprays online and they are very expensive. My father is being creamated immediately following the funeral service so I don't see the point in spending 200 dollars (I hope you all know what I mean when I say this, I don't mean to sound hateful or disrespectful), just to make it look pretty, if I can make it just as pretty by doing it myself. Plus I need to keep myself busy, it's how I'm dealing with his death right now. Do you guys have any tips or know anything about making floral arrangements for funerals?
How hard is it to make a casket spray?
Sweetie, first of all let me say I know how hard it is to lose a parent, and I am so sorry......You can get relatively cheap artificial flowers that are pretty at craft stores (Pat Catan's, etc...). Or you can create a spray from the flowers he liked most. When my grandmother died we picked a ton of tulips from her garden and made a spray that way. Just figure out what you want to put in it and buy some ivy to put around it....I'm sure it will be beautiful, and remember that gone or not Dad will see it......God Bless you and your family!!!!!

I need help with these math answers really bad?
a local florist is making two types of floral arrangements for thanksgiving: regular and special. Each regular arrangement requires 3 mums, 3 daisies, and 2 roses, and each special arrangement reguires 4 mums, 2 daisies, and 4 roses. The florist has set aside 60 mums, 54 daisies, and 52 roses for the two types of arrangements,
The florist will make a profit of $2 on each regular arrangement and $3 on each special arrangement.
1. write an objective function for the profit.
2. Create a system of inequalities to represent the constraints. Graph the feasible region.
3. identify the vertices of the feasible region.
4. how much of each type of arrangement should the florist make in order to maximize the profit? what is the maximum profit?
5. If the maximum profit is achieved, will there be any flowers left over? Explain your reasoning.
I need help with these math answers really bad?
The problem is actually simple, just take a look at any Research Operations book, Taha is the author of one very famous and also so simple. The answer is some large to write it here but I'm sure that looking one example in that book will help you to do the problem by yourself.
If after that you still need help, post a comment and I'll try to write the answer.

Has anybody tried the bridal floral packages from costco?
Did the flowers arrive in good condition? Were you pleased with the overall quality and arrangement?
Has anybody tried the bridal floral packages from costco?
I did not use them for my own wedding but i did use them for a friends and not only did they turn out beautiful but they had an amazing price. They were guaranteed. They did exactly what the bride wanted and they were the freshest flowers i have ever seen. I truly think it is more bang for your buck. Hope your wedding is wonderful!
Reply:I've done the flowers for more than 50 weddings and some of the best I've ever done were budget weddings with grocery store flowers. They don't last long but technically you only need them for one night. White roses are sometimes a little scary cuz they tend to bruise but I would go for it. If you want them to be more personable, if you do do roses what i do to make them rich looking is getting white pearl corsage pins at michael's and sticking one in the center of each bud so they're flush with the top of the rose. It looks so beautiful and makes the brides bouquet stand out from the bridesmaids. Adding your own ribbon helps too! Hope that helped :)
Reply:I got my flowers done by a grocery store...not costco, but I'm sure it was something similar and they were gorgeous, fresh and at a decent price. I dont know what the other person is talking about , but they last just as long as any other flower as they are fresh flowers. go for and save yourself some money you can spend on something else you really want for your wedding. congrats and good luck.

A friend of mine's father died. I want to send his family something, but not the normal flowers. Any ideas?
I hate the normal floral arrangement- you get so many of them when a family member dies- you just lay them around the house, and then throw them out when the die. What a waste of money!
I was looking for something else to send instead. Any ideas?
A friend of mine's father died. I want to send his family something, but not the normal flowers. Any ideas?
I always send a potted tree like a dogwood, a blue sruce, or something like that. They can plant it in their yard and when they look at it in later years they can remember their loved one. People really seem to appreciate the gesture.
Reply:Take them some food, offer to help with the thank you cards, donate some money to some organization in the deceased's memory, or just send a nice card with heartfelt sentiments and let them know you're there for them if they need anything.
Reply:You could maybe send a gift basket of fruit to the family or maybe donate some money to a charity in memory of your friend's father.
Reply:I always plant a tree for them in their yard,or give them a nice house plant in a nice pot. or send a plant you can have sent from a florist, something that will live.send them a nice flowering young tree to plant.It will survive being sent in the mail. as I have done this before.some nurserys will do this for you i believe.as doing this will give them something alive to remind them of the dearly departed.
Reply:If the father was into a certain cause or hobby, donate to that cause in memory of him. Or you could make them a meal, or bring over some groceries, they probably have a lot on their minds right now and grocery shopping isn't one of them.

Reply:I know that when my friend died, her family didn't want to recieve flowers. I donated money to a charity that was related to her illness, in her name. That is a nice gesture and it goes to help so many others who are suffering the same illness. Thank you and good luck.
Reply:I always send over a case of beer, helps with my grief.
Reply:small figurines, flowers with pieces that they can keep afterwards, or sometimes just simple heartfelt cards with personal messages in them.
Reply:Yeah, go over there and help with the dishes, mow the yard, take some food, etc.
Reply:send a chique
Reply:Well, it depends on their religion, when one of my good friends died, I wrote a letter to his mom telling her all the adventures we went through (of course this would not apply to ur friends father, but you can write some nice memories) for example, try to ask them what nice things they used to do togerther, and tell them how this always will live in their memories, and if any time they start getting nostalgic about it to read that again (to live the moment again), and also a big angel figure will help too!

Reply:I know that when my friend died, her family didn't want to recieve flowers. I donated money to a charity that was related to her illness, in her name. That is a nice gesture and it goes to help so many others who are suffering the same illness. Thank you and good luck.

Reply:Well, it depends on their religion, when one of my good friends died, I wrote a letter to his mom telling her all the adventures we went through (of course this would not apply to ur friends father, but you can write some nice memories) for example, try to ask them what nice things they used to do togerther, and tell them how this always will live in their memories, and if any time they start getting nostalgic about it to read that again (to live the moment again), and also a big angel figure will help too!
What advice can you give decorating the night before at a wedding reception using fresh flowers?
I am wanting to decorate the night before using fresh red roses in vases. If we do this, how will the flowers look the next day at 530 pm? They wont be too wilted already would they already? The reason why we want to do this, is if we buy our roses fresh from a wholesaler we save sooo much money then buying arrangements at a local floral shop.
Also, can anyone recomend any wholesaler websites for flowers?
Thank you very much on all your help!!!

Hi and congratulations!
We did the same thing for my son's wedding!
One question....when and where is the reception? If it is in the summer...you will want to make sure that the hall is air conditioned WHEN you set up....not the next day. They will be fine if they are in an air-conditioned room all night. OR, on the flip side....is it a winter wedding? Again, you don't want the hall TOO HOT for the whole night. Make sure the heat is turned way down. So...if the temperature in the room is OK for the whole night, you should be fine. Ours were lovely!
Here is the wholesaler we used. They were excellent and there are many choices of EACH color! The flowers arrived right on time and there were no problems!

Another one is this wholesaler:

Good luck!
PS--I forgot the mention. Follow their instructions to the letter!!
We had a Saturday wedding, so the roses arrived on Thursday. On Friday, my sister and I did them up. One warning.....it takes a lot of work to unwrap, cut the stems, put them in water filled with rose preservative, etc., so allow lots of time to do this. Again, I have an air conditioned house...so it worked out good...they were in the basement (very cool) overnight. You CAN'T use standard refrigerators. (They will tell you that). Florist refrigerators are different. But, in the end, IT'S WORTH IT because you will have saved TONS of money.
Reply:Don't do it. You can't determine the temp of the room over night and through the day. If you do it, you might walk into dead flowers.
If you are having your reception at a banquet hall/reception hall, then they should do all the decorating the day of as part of your package/contract.
Reply:those flowers should arrive 5 minutes before the guests arrive at the wedding reception. Choose someone in your area and get a discount because you're ordering in quantity. Choose someone (some company you can trust...get references) so that they can be trusted to bring the flowers timely.
Reply:We did the same thing. We made sure the roses were still closed on Friday so they would be open by Saturday. Looked great!!
Reply:Set up everything but the flowers. I would be too afraid they'd wilt. Keep them refrigerated until a few hours before.
Reply:We do not have flower wholesalers here but we do have WalMart and a Copps store which have fresh roses daily for cheap. You can buy them a day ahead, keep them in a cool place so they stay crispy.
Reply:For a 5:30pm wedding, you want to decorate the MORNING of the wedding, not the night before. The flowers will look horrible. I know this because I talked to our florist about it. We had our wedding at 5:30 and she was there bright and early the morning of our wedding to decorate. It was great. Everything looked wonderful. She did a GREAT job and so, I feel like if she....a professional florist.....chose to do them the morning of, then she's probably right.
Reply:EDIT: make sure with management you can decorate the night before, most places have rules and other parties happening
I did my flowers for my engagement party and my shower. I used orchids, calla lillies (engagement) and red roses (shower). I didn't do my wedding because of wedding nerves and stress. With wedding nervousness and last minute preperations...flowers were not my focus. But it's possible and may save you a ton of money.
I'm not a florist, but from my experience these flowers last forever. The key is to get REALLY fresh flowers, I'm not sure where your getting your flowers but I told my florist to make sure their fresh. Can the wholesale people help with that? Or try a supermarket, that's where i bought the roses and the girl helped me with coordinating.
I did the arrangement the day before both parties, and both were refrigerated the night before. I do think they'll be okay because my flowers lasted weeks after the event!!!! We gave them to guests and the said they were really strong and healthy. Out of the 2 arrangements (mini calla lillies and cymbidium orchids lasted longer) 3 weeks after the wedding
Roses (one week) Can you do a test on 1 arrangement?
I'm trying to remember what helped me
I didn't fill the vases very high with water overnight for transporting, they need enough so the stems are touching the water. Fill them up when you get there...
The first arrangement took longer because I wasn't sure what to do??? So be prepared for some flowers to be more managed and may break. Ugggh. Once the first is done the rest are easier.
I looked at lots of pics of arrangements online for inspiration, when i did the roses i referred to

Jamali has beautiful vases in natural fibers, ceramic, glass
I used low long reactangular vases. This place is known for florists in the industry in nyc.
I also knew ahead of time what I wanted

Ovando has great architectural arrangements with long Bear Grass leaves (which is cheaper than flowers and you can buy online) and minimal flowers, they charge soooo much for so little. But they don't look too hard, look under shop online and weddings for inspiration.
I love the arrangement called perfect balance
look under ovando-shop online link
1st row, 4th column
They have grass, orchids, cut succulent very minimal but beautiful. I wish I did these for my party...
Good Luck

Large flowers or small flowers first?
When making floral arrangements. Do you start with small flowers at the top and work downward with larger flowers? Or do you start with large flowers on top and work downward to smaller flowers?
Large flowers or small flowers first?
If you are talking about which flowers to put at the TOP of the arrangement, as in the highest point, then yes, smaller at the top and larger at teh bottom. If you are talking simply about which ones to put in first, many times I will put the large focal flowers in first and then fill in with the smaller ones. In a line though, smallest at top, largest at bottom. It makes the proportions more appealing to the eye because putting large at top and small at bottom isn't natural looking and ends up looking top heavy.
Reply:I usually go from large to small but it is difficult to explain steps without images. Here is a website with step by step for 8 popular arrangements:

Good Luck!
Reply:You should start off with Large flowers at the bottom therefore the small flowers will sit on top. If you put the small flowers on the bottom you might as well not use them at all because the large flowers will cover them.
Reply:You start with larger flowers and then fill in with smaller flowers and foliage.
