What flowers will be in season for my wedding in August?
most plants flower in august (summertime) don't worry you will have plenty to choose from.A pearl of wisdom for a happy marriage is, be happy and never stop snogging, when you do the rot sets in.
Reply:I am a wedding floral designer. Most flowers are available in August except things like Lilac, daffodils, tulip, and maybe a few others. Most flowers can be shipped here from Holland or South America, so at the right price, you can pretty much get what you want. Flowers like hydrangeas, roses, lisianthus, stock, stephanotis etc, are grown all year round somewhere.
Reply:Gardenias!! The great "big" August Beauty ones should be in bloom depending on where you live. You could just buy the plants at Home Depot or something and cut the blooms yourself. It would help save money on the flowers, plus you could plant the bushes at your house (or at someone else's house if you're in an apartment or something). It would be a wonderful reminder of your wedding every year when they bloom. My mom did the flowers for our wedding and just bought plants from the garden center to use for the greens in our arrangements, I still have one of the plants that she cut greens from.
You can also try looking online at wholesale florist places, or if you have a Costco or Sam's club nearby you can save tons on flowers there. I get 2 dozen roses at Costco for $14.99.
Congratulations and best wishes!!!
Reply:All I know is that Gladiolas are the Birth flower for August(whish is one of my FAVORITES) I am assuming because that is when they bloom, but I am not positive. They come in many different colors and are VERY beautiful. Hope this helps. Good luck!
Reply:A lot of flowers are available all year long, although spring flowers like tulips and calla lilies are more expensive if you'd want these after the spring season. For an affordable alternative, make your centerpiece with just a combination of different foliages - ferns, italian pittosporum, seeded eucalyptus, variegated ivy, etc. If it's a night time reception, use tea lights around your centerpiece. If it's a lunch reception, use ivory and green rose petals around the centerpiece.
Reply:roses, gladiolas, lilies, carnations
I know fresh flowers are preferred, but have you considered using silk flowers for your centerpieces? With everyone eating and dancing in a room which is usually dimly lit, most people will not look close enough to know whether they are real or silk. It is very easy to make up arrangements yourself and most floral craft shops will be glad to give you tips, since you're buying your supplies there.
I also think a centerpiece of just 2 long stem roses standing together inside a slender clear vase with glass beads would be elegant and pretty. You could add tea lights around them as well. Congratulations!
Reply:Colourful ones.

Which flowers are cheaper?
I really like calla lilies or green roses for my wedding bouquet, but the calla lilies seem to be a little pricer... which bouquet-appropriate flowers are the best value? Do you know where I can find a list of price per stem?
Which flowers are cheaper?
I don't know exactly what colors you are planning on using, but we just had a fall themed wedding this past october. We actually used artificial flowers because they tend to be cheaper, and you can keep your boquet. If you are interested in fall flowers, mums and sunflowers are also great to use. I wouldn't think that they should be that expensive either. Contact a few local florist and check their pricing. You might also be able to go in and look at pictures of boquets that they have done in the past and they might be able to give you approx. prices as to how much different ones are. You may also want to even consider going with artificial flowers. If you chose this and you or someone you know is crafty, you can save money by doing the arrangements yourself or even check out local craft stores that have people who do arrangements and check their prices too. Good Luck and Best of Wishes (i know wedding planning can be stressful and expensive)
Reply:I think both should look equally nice, though I've never seen a green rose before. If you wedding is in the summer, and you only need a few callas, may i suggest you grow your own? It's not that hard, and they grow really easily. I paid about $5 for my calla bulbs, and they should provide you with about 5-10 blooms each corm if you grow them well. You can order calla bulbs at most online places (look for the Lain name 'zantedeschia') for not that much. There is also a greater selection of colour if you would like to grow your own, such as Crystal Blush or Z. aethiopica (the giant calla)
Reply:Price varies according to season, but calla are always more expensive than most other flowers. Decide on which florist you want to use, then go in and discuss it. I am a florist.

Silk or real flowers for prom boutonniere?
I was looking on the internet on how to make a boutonniere, and the site I found said to use silk flowers. So, should I use a silk flower or real one? Because it seems to me that a fake flower would just seem sort of cheap or something. Either way works for me though.
Silk or real flowers for prom boutonniere?
i would have liked mine to be silk. Just think you can keep it after. Silk flowers look just as nice as real ones a lot of the time you cant even tell there not real..
Reply:if you can find a silk flower you like as well as a fake, use it...it will serve for sentimental value b/c it will last forever...but if you don't want to keep it, a real one is not going to be any more expensive than a silk one. Either way though, make sure it's not nicer than the one you get your date ;)
Reply:fake ones...
because sooner or later in the night it's going to start dooping and become wrinkled and you don't want that. But get the realistic looking ones.
Reply:actually I'm pretty sure a silk boutonniere would be more expensive. i think a real flower should be better because that's what is tradition to get.
Reply:REAL, Silk usually looks fake.
Reply:Real looks so much better I have seen the silk ones and i dont think they look that nice
Reply:I say real. That's what everyone used at my prom but that was 2001. Good luck!!! And have fun @ the prom :)

I bought a cheap pack of "Butterfly Mixture" flower seeds?
It contains violets, daisies, coreopis plains, gallardia, etc.
How deep in the soil do I plant them?
Will they grow in a fairly shady area?
I bought a cheap pack of "Butterfly Mixture" flower seeds?
1/8-1/4 of inch of soil covering them.No more. 1-2 inches is way to deep. When I plant mine I rake out the ground I'm planting them in and the scatter the seed and rake over the seeds.This works really well.Butterfly mix is a sunny seed mix , but will do okay in partial shade.It wont do well at all in full shade. It needs at least 2-3 hours full sun a day. Hope I helped.I have 3 lovely flower gardens and butterflys from June to September.
Reply:Daisies, coreposis and gallardia all prefer full, hot sun. The violets can do part-sun.
Rough up your soil and then smooth it out. Spread seed over soil and then bring up 1/4 inch of soil on top. Pat down and water with a misty stream of water so you don't disturb the seed. Keep the seed damp until you start to see sprouts.
Reply:bury 2-3inches down and some shade is ok...not too much!

What are some of the cheapest, yet beautiful flowers for a wedding?
Our budget isn't very large at all, and I need to find the cheapest flowers, but I don't want them to LOOK cheap, either. I'm looking for something possibly in the purple and/or pink family color-wise, as well as white. I really love stargazer lilies and calla lilies, but they are rather on the expensive side. Anyone here know of flowers that can look very similar to them, but are much cheaper? Please let me know. Thanks.

Buy your flowers in bulk and you can use them different places. Bulk keeps the cost way down.

Reply:We did our own flowers and it was very cheap and a lot easier than I had imagined. We used calla lillies and stargazer lillies with some filler flowers (pom poms). We bought the flowers from: www.theflowerexchange.com and I could not have been happier with them. They were wonderful.

Reply:I went in to a florist and she was so helpful with these same questions. Tell them that you like calla lilies and ask for something that would be similar. If you stay away from typical wedding flowers, you will get them for cheaper. I love stephanotis and because they are very common wedding flowers, they are able to jack the price way up.
Reply:Depending on what time of year your wedding is, there are many options for cheap flowers. I don't know if you were looking for flowers for a bridal bouquet or centerpieces or maybe even both...but one suggestion for centerpieces is to use square vases with one or two flowers floating in each. The square vases are trendy, and if you are using just a floating flower they will be cheap! some flowers that look good floating are dahlias or orchids.
as for calla lillies, there are mini calla lillies that are cheaper and just as beautiful! stargazers are going to be expensive no matter what time of year, and its hard to find flowers with color as beautiful as those. tell your florist that you are looking for something bright and vibrant. I reccomend dahlias, they come in some of the brightest, beautiful colors. they aren't usually too expensive either.

Reply:You could do what my Mom did - one rose stem for herself and her maid of honor, tied with a ribbon. Her colors were maroon and white, so with Mom's white dress she had a red rose and white ribbon. My Aunt had a maroon dress, white rose and red ribbon.
Carnations are good, especially white ones because they can be dyed. (It's actually a really popular thing to do here for graduations. The florist keeps the stems in food-colored water and the flowers absorb the color.)
Look through magazines for ideas and take clippings to the florist. Let them know what you're looking for, what your budget is, how many bouquets, boutonnieres, or corsages you'll need and where your venue and pictures will be. That way they'll know how hardy the flowers will need to be and what you can afford. Oh, season and time of day, too since that may factor into availability. Anything that's in season will be less expensive. Roses around Valentines, Mother's Day or the Rose Bowl? Forget it.

They can do spray roses in any color you want... They're often cheaper then regular red roses and smaller. But they can be JUST as beautiful!

Reply:My goal isn’t to change your mind, but I hope that someone can learn from my experience. I went cheap-o on my flowers and lived to regret it.
I can’t name for you all of the flowers I had, but the only thing that didn’t wilt/brown on me were the calla lilies (the most expensive, naturally!). This is my bouquet:
http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b6c... . It’s too pixilated for you to see it, but I got my flowers at 12 and by 5, I had to pay attention to which way I turned my bouquet for pictures to keep the wilted parts from showing.
I’d blame my troubles on the fact that I was out in the sun for a couple of hours, but my bridesmaids’ weren’t and their flowers suffered the same fate. My florist also didn’t tell me how small he would have to make my bouquets in order to meet my budget, and I was not pleased. This girl was the slimmest and this is how small the bouquet was on her: http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b6c...
To save money, do some internet research yourself to find out what’s in season (and thus less expensive) when you’re getting married. When you meet with a florist, give them your budget and ask for suggestions on what flowers would work. If wilting, browning, and bouquet size matter to you, make a point of telling your florist (I thought I did…). Even better, try to get a clause that you’ll get a refund if they don’t meet your expectations. I wish I had!
Lastly, with any wedding vendor, check out the BBB record.

Where do you get Transparent Lockets for Flowers?
Hello, where do you get cheap clear or transparent lockets for things like pictures or small dried flowers? Anything from a necklace to keychain would work well. Thank You
Where do you get Transparent Lockets for Flowers?
Most of the craft shops do sell them, ask in the shop because they might be hidden somewhere.
I did get my first from an origami supplier.

Where do you get Transparent Lockets for Flowers?
Most of the craft shops do sell them, ask in the shop because they might be hidden somewhere.
I did get my first from an origami supplier.

Reply:Stay off the internet. We were going to until we realized that the girls IN the flower girl dresses have such different bodies--buying online doesn't promise you anything about the material, the quality, etc.
Look at Dillards and Sears.
Try going to a Pageant Store. We recently purchased $50 dresses from a store like that. Ask for discounts. Plus the quality was amazing, and it didn't look like it was just from any store. It looks like $200 each.
Stay off the internet though! You can't discuss discounts through the internet, and if you go and pick them up, you will save yourself shipping charges.

My friend had 5 flower girls, because she had to use all her nieces and all her fiancees nieces, they didn't want anyone to feel left out. Her fiancee's mom made all the dresses, they all looked precious. That is the cheapest way to go. Do you know anyone who can sew or make clothing?
Good Luck!

Florist :) How Can I get Free Flowers?
Yes I want something for free for my party but only because I was told that I could get them for free. I was watching TLC or some show and they were making over this womens house for a party for cheap, and the host said she got the flowers that were places on around the room for free, and that you have to ask your local florist, does anyone know anything about that? do florist give away certain or unwanted flowers, what do I ask for? and how soon could I get them I dont care what kind just as long as they smell good.
Florist :) How Can I get Free Flowers?
I would go behind your neighbors houses and cut a few from each of them. They'll be none the wiser!
Reply:get them off the side of the road.
Reply:I knew someone who went to the cemetery and took some from the gravesites. But, I don't think you are THAT desperate for free flowers, are you?
I would think you could visit some of the local florists and just ask in a friendly, can-you-help-me- attitude if they ever have any 'left overs' that they would be willing to share...and tell them when your party will be. Doesn't cost to ask.

What's the cheapest way to send flowers to a patient at santa clara valley medical center?
Don't send flowers from proflowers to a patient in a hospital/medical center. Their flowers are shipped in a box that the patient would have to open. Also, the vase and flowers come separately and a patient in a medical center will probably not be well enough to open the box, get water, and put the flowers into a vase.
Your best bet? Order from a local florist. The 'wire services' charge a fee just to take your order. So, in the end you may pay more than 60 bucks for 40 dollars worth of flowers. Save yourself time, money and a headache by calling a local florist in that area.
Best Wishes!!

What is the best way to buy flowers for a wedding, which store is the best?
I am getting married in June and I am looking at the kind of flowers that I want. But I do not have a vast budgett. So cheap but quality.
What is the best way to buy flowers for a wedding, which store is the best?
Hi and congratulations on your upcoming wedding!
I absolutely love real flowers, but some prefer the silk.
My suggestion would be to go to a florist. That is their business! ALL florists are willing to work with you AND your budget. They have lots of books with examples and also books showing actual weddings that they have done. You can also look through bridal magazines to get ideas. Take pictures and your ideas to the florist and see what they can do for you!
Check with your family, co-workers, friends, etc. to see what florist in the area they recommend. Good luck!
Reply:I used silk flowers. I got them from Jo ann Fabrics and a place called the flower factory but it is one of those places that someone has to belong to. I actually bought centerpieces for my bridal shower and cut the flowers out of that and made my bridesmaid bouquets and part of the boutonnieres. Reusing is a great idea, no one knew but me, no one knew they were silk and then your bridesmaid can take them home and use it somewhere, instead of throwing them away.
Reply:It's always best to go with a reputable local florist.
Reply:Trader Joe's. They have the best selection and they're cheap.
Reply:Hi there! also getting married in June. Im going tolook at arts and craft stores (if you're planning to not spend alot) and make them. It's not really hard if you have something in mind to go off of... a picture of a bouquet you like, type of flowers, colors. Then whip out your ribbon and hot glue gun and put some together and see what you come up with.
Reply:Do your research with some florists in your area. Let them know your budget and make their suggestions for what you want to do within your budgetary constraints. Look at their books of arrangements for other weddings. They always have them. If you like what you see not only in the books but the arrangements around the store, then they are the florist for you.
Reply:I dont know where you live, but here we have gourmet grocery stores that have big flower departments, like Central Market and Wholefoods. I had a friend who used them, and they supplied the flowers for her for her tables, and she just orderd cala lillies for the bridesmaids. She picked up the flowers herself and did the arranging on the tables. She only had her arrangement made at a florist. If you dont have stores like those, look for wholesale florists.
Reply:silk is cheaper and you have nice keepsakes.
Reply:If you intend to do all the arrangements yourself, you must consider where you are going to store the arrangements before the actual wedding. They need to go into a temperature controlled refrigerator!
Now, with that being said, you can purchase flowers in quantity from a site like this:http://www.growersbox.com/categories.php...
or this:
There is also proflowers.com wedding flowers. They come in packages, already made it bridal bouquets, boutiniers, etc, and you can pick the flowers you want and how many of each thing you want.

What kind of flowers are very low maintenance? And inexpensive?
I am looking for flowers to plant around the outside of my house but,, to be blunt, I kill everything! lol So I need something I can just plant, and not have to deal with. The areas that I'm looking at get a alot of sun with partial shade. They also need to be cheap! and something that I can plant now.
Picture's would be a great help. Thanks!
What kind of flowers are very low maintenance? And inexpensive?
Nasturtiums are easy to grow and easy to maintain. Direct sow them in the ground and water them. They take the heat and dry soil. Nice green foliage with yellow and orange flowers that grow well into October. Plant them as soon as the ground is warm,.
Burpee Seed Catalogue has 5 or 6 varieties.
Reply:The flower is spelled "impatiens" and if you google it as "picture of impatiens" then it will show you. They are usually ones that come back, year after year, if you let them go to seed, will be in bloom now if you get a flat of them, love water--don't require a lot of it, for the root system is shallow,
and since they are rather tender...are not dog-proof! They are one of the few that can get LARGE and if one stem breaks off and falls over, you can get it, put it in water and often it will root! Then you can plant it!!!
Price will depend on the size of the area you need to cover, seeds will work, but they take a lot longer for results, and often ony 5% in a packet is expected to sprout!
Says so on the package!
Loosen up your soil first and plant them with wet roots, soak them in water before you put them in the ground and be sure to gently tamp the earth down to fill air pockets, air dries out the roots, and that is a cause of them not doing well. The roots need moisture, the tops need sun and shade!
Good Luck! They grow Maine to Miami to California!
Desert sun will cause them to burn.
Reply:Impatients...I have been planting them for years and years with good luck. They like partial shade and shade. They come in all colors and will last from May until November here in Northern Virginia. I also lived on the Florida panhandle for 15 years and use to plant them there and they did great. They usually are pretty inexpensive and you can get them at places like home depot, lowes and wal mart. Wal Mart usually has the best prices! They are one of the few plants that survive my gardening skills year after year.
Reply:Perrenials, such as daffodils, tulips - all the ones that come from bulbs. It is too late, this year for these.
Nasturtium is beautiful and grow easily, but need to be planted every year. They are quite low-maintenance, though and can be planted right away. They should bloom all summer. Marigolds is another low-maintenance option.
Reply:lilly's do not require alot of care you just plant the bulb in the ground and watch it grow.that's what i would recommend for you get bulbs if your going to plant anything they are the easiest.

What lights are needed to start flowers inside?
I wanted to know what are the cheapest light you can use to start flowers inside. I am growing petulia's. thanks
What lights are needed to start flowers inside?
Grow lights, the can be purchased at a retail home center. I have a overhead fixture that holds 2 long tube grow lights.
Reply:You dont need light to start most seeds. Most seeds germinate from warmth not light. Try a heating pad set on low under the seed tray or just place it in a warm spot in your house. Like some refrigerator tops are warm because of the warm air blown out the back by the motor fan. But indirect sunlight or direct sunlight in a window will do fine when they start getting more than a few inches tall.

What is the best neutral scent oil I can use to extract plumeria scent from loose flowers?
I want to create two different preparations: filling two mason jars with fresh picked white Plumeria flowers from Hawaii. One jar will get filled with flowers and grain alcohol and the other will be filled with flowers and a neutral oil. Can anyone suggest a cheap supermarket available oil that I can use for the oil jar that has no scent of its own and will absorb the Plumeria fragrance?
What is the best neutral scent oil I can use to extract plumeria scent from loose flowers?
From Henrietta's Herbals:
"Safflower is a nice scentless oil."
That is a sight from a person who makes their own rose salve and that is what she recommends. Hope this helps!!

I did a quick look, here's the link, there's lots of adorable dresses, with buy it now prices under $50. http://clothing.listings.ebay.com/Girls-... depending on when in May your wedding is, you might be able to find one off a clearance rack AFTER Easter. Also try craigslist. I've never tried them, but have heard of people finding great stuff on craigslist, so it would be worth a shot.
By the way, YOU'RE not responsible for buying the flower girl's dress...her parents are.
Reply:My wedding is at the end of April (I got my dress from Davids too...) anyway I got my flower girls dress at Dillard's. My colors are green and this was a white "frilly" dress that had tiny green ribbon embroidery all over it. My 3 year old sister is the flower girl and she calls it her "princess dress". We got it on sale for about $28.
Reply:try Chadwick's. (www.chadwicks.com) they sell a lot of women's special occasion dresses at a great price. I've seen flower girl type dresses there also.

Reply:I agree - I'm queen of "I'm not paying that for a little girl!" I found a lot of cheap options for my daughter. Most of them were at flowergirldressforless.com - they have a very sweet white dress for $29.00. It was hard to choose. Ultimately, I found a dress on sale at a department store and chose one (with bride's approval) that can be worn for other special occasions like Easter coming up. (PS first communion dresses won't fit your daughter that I've seen in the department stores- they are usually a larger size.)
Also, right now there are a lot of Easter dresses that may be suitable in the department stores. If you use any department store coupons, you can get away with cheap- well cheaper - as well.
And check out these sites: I found them by doing a search engine search with "discount flower girl" and various other descriptors.

Good Luck!

Reply:Try ebay. I did a quick look, here's the link, there's lots of adorable dresses, with buy it now prices under $50. http://clothing.listings.ebay.com/Girls-... depending on when in May your wedding is, you might be able to find one off a clearance rack AFTER Easter. Also try craigslist. I've never tried them, but have heard of people finding great stuff on craigslist, so it would be worth a shot.
By the way, YOU'RE not responsible for buying the flower girl's dress...her parents are.
Reply:My wedding is at the end of April (I got my dress from Davids too...) anyway I got my flower girls dress at Dillard's. My colors are green and this was a white "frilly" dress that had tiny green ribbon embroidery all over it. My 3 year old sister is the flower girl and she calls it her "princess dress". We got it on sale for about $28.
Reply:try Chadwick's. (www.chadwicks.com) they sell a lot of women's special occasion dresses at a great price. I've seen flower girl type dresses there also.
Do you know anyone who can make a dress? Then it could be really cheap....
Reply:Here in New England we have flea markets with dress shops for dresses and gowns cheaper than $100. I have one in my closet but it is size 8 sorry. I would get rid of it for $30. You can also go to a ware house outlet.
Reply:I have quite a few associates that I can purchase dresses from . . . what designer %26amp; style are you looking for?
Reply:Good will
Reply:check eBay.
there is usually a good selection of new and used dresses.
Lots under $100
http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll...
have fun shopping!
Reply:Try bridal mart.They have alot of designers that make flower girl dresses to choose from and you may find something that you like.
Reply:Ebay, sometimes they are as cheap as $20 and you just have to get them cleaned. Heck, you might even find the exact one from david's bridal on there... that's how I got my tiara for 1/4 of the price!!!
Reply:We got our flower girl dresses at Wal mart (FOR REAL) we found them around Easter and they worked perfect. I bought my bridesmaid dresses at a boutique and the girls dresses looked like they were matched with my bridesmaids. Take your time and look and you will find the perfect dress.
Reply:You should try doing a search for baby or kid pagent dresses. My flower girl was only 2 yrs old and we found a great dress at a baby pagent website for only $25! Here's a couple links I found:

Good luck and congrats on the wedding. :)
Reply:I agree - I'm queen of "I'm not paying that for a little girl!" I found a lot of cheap options for my daughter. Most of them were at flowergirldressforless.com - they have a very sweet white dress for $29.00. It was hard to choose. Ultimately, I found a dress on sale at a department store and chose one (with bride's approval) that can be worn for other special occasions like Easter coming up. (PS first communion dresses won't fit your daughter that I've seen in the department stores- they are usually a larger size.)
Also, right now there are a lot of Easter dresses that may be suitable in the department stores. If you use any department store coupons, you can get away with cheap- well cheaper - as well.
And check out these sites: I found them by doing a search engine search with "discount flower girl" and various other descriptors.

Wedding flowers?
I have a friend that is getting married and i need to find somewhere that sales cheap flowers maybe lake some that are kinda old but can look new. like a furniture places where you can buy furniture for cheap in the scrached and dented area but its uslly not noticable. any also dose any one know where i can find flower that are pink with black tips
Wedding flowers?
Costco sells flowers at a good price, from what I've heard. You can even order wedding bouquets from there, if you are not experienced making them yourself.
You may also want to see if there is a flower market in your area -- one that supplies flowers at wholesale prices to local florists. They usually have great prices for regular people, too. (I am getting my flowers from the San Francisco Flower Mart, and a friend of mine is making the bouquets.)
As far as pink and black flowers: I don't know any that are pink with black tips, but anemones can be pink with blackish centers. Here are some pictures:

I would be cautious about buying older flowers -- you want to make sure you have ones that will look fresh on the wedding day, especially since the bouquets, corsages, and boutonnieres will need to be out of water for hours. You would be better off choosing relatively inexpensive flowers and keeping the bridesmaid bouquets small. I have even heard of wedding where the bridesmaids carried a single flower instead of a bouquet. You might also want to consider keeping the centerpiece arrangements to a minimum and reusing the ceremony flowers as reception decorations. Good luck!
Reply:If you are not tied to a specific flower, you can approach a local florist and ask for any flowers they have in the store that are more than a day or two old. Otherwise, places like Costco and Sam's club sell beautiful flowers in bulk at great prices.

Is it really that much cheaper to do silk flowers rather than real for a wedding?
I want something inexpensive, but I want the look of real flowers also.
Is it really that much cheaper to do silk flowers rather than real for a wedding?
It all depends on where you buy them and how you do it, I am going with all fake I started buying them over a year early and yes it has been very cheap I am done with my flowers and I spent maybe $150 for everything, thats my bouquet, a throwing bouquet, a matron of honor and 2 bridesmaids bouquets, flower petals for the flower girl, corsages for our mothers, 9 boutineres for all the guys (including 2 ushers, 2 fathers, and 1 grandfather), plus small arrangements for 10-15 tables. The only real flowers I will still have to buy will be Easter Lillies for the church and they should be easy and not too expensive since I'm getting married on 03/31/2007 (the weekend before Easter).
A couple of suggestions on how to do this- I found a great flea market / dirt mall, that has a craft store area where I bought large bunches of really nice silk flowers for like $3 and took them apart, also I went to Jo Anne fabrics numerous times over a couple month span as they were marking the spring flowers down I got some of them at 50% off and then I got lucky and bought most of them for 75%. (which was between $1.50 and $2.50 a bunch)
I am using roses, hydrangeas, irises, narcisus, and gladiolas in all of the arrangements.
Reply:YOUR BEST BET IS SILK. I GOT MARRIED THE 15TH OF THIS MONTH AND I DID SILK. I WANTED REAL BUT CHOOSE SILK AFTER LOOKIN AT PRICES A REAL FLOWER BOUQUET WAS GOING TO COST APPROX $400.00 WHEN I DID A SILK ONE FOR ABOUT $25.00. ALSO THE HEAT KILLS REAL ONES SO QUICK WHEN SILK WILL ALWAYS BE BEAUTIFUL.
Reply:Go for the sales. I just bought all of my flowers for a total of $100.
Hobby Lobby and Michaels runs AMAZING sales. You just have to know what to look for.
Reply:yes
Reply:I got VERY lucky with my wedding flowers. I went to BOCES - which is a vocational/trade school, for highschool students. If you have anything like that, I'd highly recommend going to talk to them. The only hitch is that you have to get married during the school year. I took a picture of the bouquet that I wanted for myself to a florist to see how much it would cost. They told me that it would be $100-$125 just for my bouquet - never mind the rest of the bridal party, the boutonnieres, corsages or church flowers. So, I went to BOCES, where they teach classes in floral design. There's no overhead, no labor - you just have to pay cost for the flowers %26amp; the kids kill themselves to do a good job, as their grades depend upon their work. As a result of going to them instead of a florist, my bouqet was only $30 %26amp; the total cost for all of the flowers combined was under $350 %26amp; they were BEAUTIFUL! Of course, I got married 12 years ago, so I'm sure prices have changed somewhat. But, if you have the option, I definitely recommend you looking into it. Good luck!
Reply:Silk flowers are just like real ones - you can do them for almost any price. At a discount store or a dollar store you can get super cheap silk flowers, but they might not look too real. If you go with a grocery store florist they will be nice and also cheap. Really nice silk flowers that look real, tend to cost a bit more than cheap real flowers. Good luck!
Reply:o my goodness yes !! I am getting married in 2 weeks and it is silly how much just my bouquet and 2 bridesmaids and the boutineers and costing thank goodness I did all the rest of the flowers in silk !!
Reply:Check out Michaels http://www.michaels.com This time of year they are marking down the Spring and Summer florals and you could probably get a great deal!
Good luck!
Reply:The silk flowers look just a good as the real and yes they are quite a bit cheaper depending on what you are looking at. Go to the stores and see what you think. Do some research about it and see which you think is the better choice for your wedding.
Research will help you make this decision. It all depends on what you are looking for.
Reply:NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO fake ones witll cost just as much I tried....I ended up going with a florist, just make sure they write EVERY SINGLE DETAIL down so you don't have the problems I had.
Reply:One thing about silk they last forever...I used both, but the silks i bought looked real, no one knew. Try Micheals if you have one, they have some really nice ones. I went to a friends wearhouse who only sells to high end shops, i did get a great deal but its not open to the public. Look around for the silks and price them and the real ones. With the silk you can do months ahead of time, saves on paying a florist.
Reply:My friend just had a wedding and saved close to1000 bucks by using silk instead of real. She got her flowers from hobby lobby and people thought they were real. I would have thought so too, but I was with her when she bought them. If you know what flowers you want, consult a florist and get an estimate. Then find your flowers in silk and do the math.
Reply:I did the same thing as Armywife. We had gone to Wal-Mart and bought silk flowers for 6 bouquets it cost us about $45 - $50 dollars. They looked as real as could be. Nobody could tell they were fake. The real flowers we bought for the mothers and all the men were VERY expensive.
Reply:I guess that would depend on what your silk flowers look like and what you go with. I ordered 100 stems of fresh tulips from www.growingflowers.com for about $140. That's a great deal for tulips in July and that covered the shipping costs from Holland. I did the rest myself. I did mix in some silk flowers because I wanted stefanotis, but they were hard to deal with and very expensive. I bought those at garden ridge and inserted a pearl in the center then mixed it with the tulips. It was all pretty simple and I didnt spend a whole lot.
Reply:For my wedding, I went to walmart, and bought silk flowers, made all my bouquets for under 40 dollars. thats 4 boquets. Its a whole lot cheaper. We used real flowers for the men and family, and it was almost 300 dollars. and not a lot of flowers.
Reply:my friend the florist did my flowers and she used silk and she could make all the bouquets about 8 weeks before the wedding and ship them to me in a box...one less thing to worry about at the last minute
Reply:For some things. I did fake for arrangements for decorating but real for everything else. The bouquets and all of that were real but some of the decor on the tables and stuff were fake and it worked out really well.
Reply:No... I think if you get the silk flowers that look real and are actually pretty, you will probably end up paying maybe a little less than real ones, but not much. I only used the silk ones because I wanted to keep my bouquet.

Is it cheaper to buy flowers from the grocery story than from the florist?
Grocery stores like HEB, Walmart, etc.
Is it cheaper to buy flowers from the grocery story than from the florist?
Yes. Sometimes the quality and choices aren't as good as at a florist but they are cheaper.
Reply:The grocery store is always cheaper and always walmart. Because they have the ability to buy flowers in bulk for like there million stores they have they can sell them at cheaper prices. Flower shops are usually individually owned and marked up a lot. They are a better quality than you would get at walmart so you have to decided what you want more cheaper or better quality.

Reply:Yes. It is usually much cheaper to buy flowers this way. But the key to not looking like a cheapskate is to give the person something much more valuable than flowers, your time and attention.
Deliver the flowers yourself and spend some time with this person to show them just how much they mean to you. Maybe surprise them and take them to lunch.

Where can I buy wholesale flowers in Canada? Preferably Ontario?
I am getting married next fall and have a friend taking a flower arranging course. She has offered to do my arrangements, but we need to find flowers. I would like to find them as cheap as possible (obviously) but don't want to pay our the ears for shipping from the States....Thoughts?
Where can I buy wholesale flowers in Canada? Preferably Ontario?
Check with the Ontario growers co-op.
Here is their website.
http://www.ontarioflowers.com/Portal_OFG...
As a general rule in order to buy wholesale you do need to have a PST exemption number that can only be obtained by being a registered business.
Another option is asking arranging to buy in bulk from an independent florist. They are generally more flexible with their terms and you should be able to find one that will arrange a special price based upon the quantity of goods you are wanting to buy,.
Reply:you can't, there is nowhere

I just decided to make those really sweet mints for my wedding however we have 16 days and I would like to start making them in 10. looking for a website that takes less then 10 days to ship stuff for cheap and has mint forms in shape of flowers or hearts
thanks

Yes try Michaels, or any cake store
Reply:I usually buy my molds in Joanne's, Michael's or Hobby Lobby. Walmart doesn't have much of a selection. Also some Hobby Lobby stores have a larger selection/bigger candy %26amp; baking section. The molds are usually $2.50 or less. You can also find molds on ebay - but you won't have them in time. Best wishes to you and the groom.
Reply:Why not check with your local Michael's or JoAnn's for the molds? If you have a cake supply house in the area, they would have them, too. Congratulations on your wedding.

Distilling oils from flowers or leaves is very simple.U can do that by simple distillation method or by steam distillation or even by chemical (solvents) like hexane %26amp; benzene.U can find a lot of material about ditillation or oil extraction on net but it depends upon the nature of oil as well eithere there is fixed oil or essential oil .Most of the flowers have essential oil which is done by distillation method while the fixed oil is extracted with hexane etc however if u r really interested in this case i can help u at some extent
Reply:I am not sure about the sites but I once did this for science fair. An Asian plant, Pandan is very good for this purpose. First, you would have to chop the leaves into tiny little pieces. Then, leave it in a bottle filled with eter and cooking oil (on top of it to preserve its smell.)for a week or so. Then, you will be able to see two layers of oil. One would be the layer of eter and the Pandan scented oil while the other is the cooking oil. Get the oil from the lower level and distill it. Voila! You would get the scented oil. My group went to states with that.
I hope this helps. ;)

Reply:STAY away from websites!
A good chunk of your money will be going toward a service fee which is better spend on the flowers themselves. If the person you are sending the flowers to is in your general area. Visit a flower shop. Most shops will have roses on sale for various prices, you can choose what you want this way.
The flowers you order from the internet probably wont look anything like the picture when they ar delivered....
Be careful haha

Reply:Don't use the internet to send flowers. Use a local florist. Make sure they have an actual location. Many listed in phone books don't have a physical location, they are just middlemen making a fast buck.

I know it's hard to do that if you are on a budget but maybe some of you know something.

send them a ecard with flowers on it
Reply:Don't order from your local florist. I'm sure there is a florist near the destination. If you can find one that's within 5 miles and does a good job with arranging 'em(flowers), you're good to go. Doing it online would be better too. At least you get to see it first before you pay for it.
Reply:Enlist their friend, relative or housemate to do it. Of course, bribe them for their time with a box of chocolates or a fiver. I'm sure they would be very happy to help.

Reply:go to www.images.yahoo.com %26gt; type in "Flowers." You should get some pictures of flowers, choose the one you like and send it over as an attachment. In the email, state "honey, this is for you... from my heart".
Real flowers will probably die by the time they reach the person you are trying to give them to... it's better to send a pic of fresh flowers :p

There is like 1-800 Flowers, Teleflorist... etc. I went online to find flowers and ended up with the one that had maybe not the best deal on the flowers but with the shipping! Also some of them may have specials, always something to ask about!?!?!

Just throw the flowers into the next twister heading to that state...
Reply:tell someone in that state to give it to the person they could go to a field and pick some send that person 2 bucks in the mail for their effort
Reply:As expensive as it is to have flowers delivered, the cheapest may be if you buy them at Sam's and drive a 1000 miles to deliver them! But seriously, if you have an friends in the area where the recipient is, why not ask them? Send them $30-40 and tell them to get a $15 bouquet at Sam's and deliver %26amp; for them to keep the difference. It seems like last time we had some flowers sent, it was a pitiful bouqet for about $65 or $70.
Reply:i have found it cheaper to find phone a florist in the area the recipient lives in and order flowes from them. it is usually cheaper to pay the long distance phone call than to pay the florist at your end all the additional charges they levy for doing the same thing - phoning the florist at the other end.
Reply:i think there are some services maybe you can find in internet you pay with credit card and they will do for you, try to find some that is known other wise coudl be a scam, i hope that helps.
Oh you mention cheapest.. ididnt read that, cheap will be buy a flowers your self, and put in a nice box and send througth the post office, they will be ligth not heavy , so you wont pay much money.

Need a vase, flowers and balloons in houston cheap, please help.?
I saw this beautiful arrangement online of six roses and six balloons in vase but not willing to pay the $65 dollars for it when i can do it myself for more than half of that...i know abc flowers has roses and stuff for great prices but i need to know other places where i can get the rest for a low price...thanks!
Need a vase, flowers and balloons in houston cheap, please help.?
You need to go to the Flower District. It is on Fannin and San Jacinto streets between Binz and Wheeler streets. Basically between the Medical Center and Midtown.
Coming from the Med Center head north on San Jacinto (you will find this street near Park Plaza Hospital and the Light Rail Station). You will start seeing Flower Shop within a few blocks.
Coming from Midtown head south on Fannin Street. You will come to an intersection where the Light Rail will cross in front of you and the Freeway is above you. After this intersection you will see the flower shops.
If you take the Light Rail get off at the either the Wheeler Station and start walking south or the Museum of Fine Arts Station and start walking north. Be careful at the Wheeler Station that area is a gathering area for the homeless.

What is the cost difference in making your own flowers or getting real ones from a florist?
I am trying to decide whether or not to use fake or real flowers for some of the floral arrangements at my wedding. I definitely want a florist to make the boquets and centerpieces out of real flowers. But, for everything else, I would consider making my own arrangements with fake flowers as long as it is cheaper than getting real flowers.
Some people decide to make their own floral decorations for their wedding with fake flowers and they turn out nice. But, why not just use real flowers? Do real flowers cost signifigantly more than fake ones?
What is the cost difference in making your own flowers or getting real ones from a florist?
Unless you are able to get fresh flowers from a wholesaler (you need a business tax-id #), it will cost a little less than the florist with a lot more headache.
You can get really nice silk/fake flowers from Michael's Carfts, etc..., but make one arrangement as an experiment first. It probably won't turn out like you want. So don't go buying gobs of flowers and supplies until you know exactly what you want.
Reply:real flowers cost much more than doing it yourself. You can get fake flowers from michaels for under a dollar each and then you just buy some ribbon to wrap around. I'll probably make my own flowers to hold! They look just as nice :-) congrats on getting married!
Reply:I just did my own flowers.
I spent 100$ at Hobby Lobby for silks to go in the church and in urns outside the church, they are not close enough to guests for them to tell the difference.
Then I bought 300$ worth of flowers from an online wholesale website. I made 3 bouquets, all the corsages, button holes from the groom and ushers etc, table arrangements and pew arrangments. I may have spent 500$ in total for all flowers silk and live and for the acsessories to assemble them. There are so many ways to save money if you have the ability and time and are willing to do some of the work yourself. By the way the arrangments I made for 500$ would have cost me 3 grand at the florist, I did price it.
Also, getting bridesmaids and moms to help do this makes for a GREAT night of laughter and memories.
Reply:Real flowers can cost between double the price to 10 times the price of silk flowers. I went with silk for my wedding. With silk you know exactly what the arangements will look like since the flowers colors will NOT vary like with realy ones. Plus you can keep them after the wedding if you want and it won't cost you an additional fee to have them dryed.
Reply:Real flowers cost SIGNIFICANTLY more than fake flowers. The average expenditure on real flowers ranges in the 700 to 1500 range, depending on size of your wedding and complexity. Fresh flowers look nice in the wedding, but they wilt and die, and you can't keep them unless you preserve/dry them. Silk flowers will always look as nice as your wedding day, if you keep them out of bright sunlight (they might fade otherwise).
Now, I looked into making my own bouquets/arrangements with silk flowers, but I knew they would not look nearly as professional. So, I went to Ebay and did some "wedding flowers" searches. There are a number of very reputable florists on Ebay that do custom orders of flowers for your wedding. I bought my silk flower arrangements for less than $200 including shipping. That included my bouquet, three bridesmaids, one toss, corsages for the Mothers, bouts for all the guys and 8 pew bows. My flowers look great and they will never wilt. Based on the average cost I mentioned above, I saved at least $500 that I can spend somewhere else. I think that was much better than blowing almost a thousand dollars on fresh flowers for a half hour ceremony and a 5 hour party. I would rather take that saved money and put it towards better quality food, better music, or save it for my honeymoon.
Reply:there are fake flowers that look real. just dont add tacky touches such as fake butterflies to the arrangement, then it looks really tacky. you can save an arm and a leg by going fake, just get good fakes!
Reply:I think fake flowers are tacky and to get really nice ones they cost as much as real flowers. I also depends on the flowers you want.... like roses cost more then mums. I would personally do the opposite- have real flowers for you to hold and for your pictures and use fake flowers on the table if you have to. Fake flowers look terrible in pictures!
Reply:Definitely go with real flowers. For our wedding, we bought 750 roses for around 300 dollars. Try www.globalrose.com. They're relatively inexpensive and will ship them directly to your home. Florists are over priced. I think people use "fake" flowers because they last. That way, you can make them in advance. Personally, I hate fake flowers. They just say cheap to me.
Reply:Hi i am 21 years old and getting married very soon. i made EVERYTHING out of fake flowers cause i think its a lot cheaper and they will last a lot longer then real ones and you don't have to worry about watering them, little kids spilling them, pedals falling off, you know what i mean. my wedding is coming up in a month and my reception is in 2 months cause I'm having a destination wedding. plus if you go with fake ones you don't have to worry about a floweriest!!! i made my own bouquets out of fake flowers myself and have never done it before and it looks professional and only took me about and hour 1/2 to make it!!!! i was surprised. i even made my own boutonnieres. i shopped at discount stores and it costed me i think $20 for enough flowers to make my bouquet, throwing bouquet, and about 15 boutonnieres with flowers left over to use on the cake!!!!! i don't know if i helped but it was worth a shot!
Reply:I found that when looking for good quality fake flowers they do get quite expencive. try your local sams club, I bought beautiful red roses(real) and only paid $15 for bunches of 2 dozen
Reply:real flowers are more expensive plus with the fake flowers you can keep them for much more longer than you can real. for you anniversary you can use the centerpiece for that special anniversary dinner at home.
Reply:Silks are ususally used because they last forever. This way the bride and groom can keep or give away the flowers. However, most silks that look real cost more than real flowers. But you can start preparing your silks way in advance, unlike real flowers that only have a few days. Check with you local florist about your other flowers, but you may want to consider buying fresh and doing them yourself. That would save you alot of money... but you would have to do it the day or two before the wedding.
Reply:my mom is making all of mine. there is a huge difference in the cost- she is using real flowers. it depends on how much you need. but i would think in general silk cost less than fresh
Reply:Fresh flowers are costly. Silk lasts forever, I had everything made of silk, so we could keep them forever. My bridesmaid's and everyone. I gave the centerpieces away at the wedding to friends who had really been there. But it was considerably less for silk. Also, options are endless in silk.
Reply:The cost difference is pretty big. I saved about $600 by combining the two that way you got the look and the smell. I had a summer wedding with Lillies as my main flower. They were real but the rest was silk. Good luck!!!!!
Reply:I made my own from micheal's silk flowers and spent a total of $80 versus the florist wanting to charge $350. It was worth it and a really fun project with my bridesmaids.

What do you think about using fake flowers?
Do you think using fake (silk) flowers will look cheap?
I am not sure what I am going to do yet but wanted some input from other brides-to-be. I love the idea of having them for ever and getting to use different colors with the cost not going up.
What do you think about using fake flowers?
I am using "fake" Flowers! I have a friend who is a florist and she is doing them for me and I get to see what everything looks like ahead of time(so if there are Any changes or I don't like something it can be changed!
The one thing I have heard almost all brides complain about is there was something wrong with there flowers! Ribbon color, wrong flowers, they were closed and suppose to be open, the wasnt enough of them etc........you get the idea!
Plus I have seen almost all "real" flowers wilt that day, become brown around the edges, before the reception even starts those real petal on the table look horrible buy the time your done eating!
You cant even tell my flowers are fake! Plus for all those brides who use real flowers and have them "dryed" I have a little news for them it is expencive and a they use the same stuff that they use for kitty litter! It is just in a dust form! So really your spent big buck for kitty litter!
Best wishes and good luck in all your planing!
Reply:I used fake as did my sister. My sister then had her bouquet framed in a flat frame, and then the glass is blown out in the middle. It is gorgeous. It was less expensive, I had family and friends over one afternoon and we made them together, and I got to keep them just as gorgeous as our wedding day.

I am using real for the flowers im holding along with the bridesmaids. But for the isle runner and on the tables im using silk.
good luck and congrats!

We are using silks for a few reasons. The time of year means there aren't many real flowers in season, I can get a better range of colors, cost about 1/3 of what real flowers would have to begin with (probably less because I shop the 50% sales), afterwards I will sell my arrangements (except for maybe one or two) and get even more savings, people like my HTB have allergies to many types of flowers, I don't have to worry about the smell getting overwhelming when picking my blooms
Reply:We married this past May, and I used fake silk ivory english roses that I bought at Pottery Barn 10 YEARS AGO!!! They looked gorgoeous, and my maid of honor caught my bouquet, so she went home with it-she was sweet and offered it back to me, but I told her I want her to have it for good luck. The rose she carried went to me, and I have it on my nightstand.

I had fresh flowers for my bouquet and the flowers decorating the church and reception. But the bridesmaids flowers were silk because we couldn't get the kind of flowers I wanted in fresh. They looked really nice.

Reply:I think it is a great idea. We planned on using real flowers until she said $300 and we are on a budget. We ended up spending $35 on our silk flowers for everyone including a few decorations. The girls bouquets were $1 each and yes I said $1 and we brought two for each girl just incase it didn't look full enough for them. Hope this helps.
Reply:I'm Jewish and in a Jewish wedding you have like a wedding canopy that you stand under, and we used fake flowers to decorate the poles that held that up. I thought it looked good.

Reply:Real Brides only carry real flowers.
There is nothing beautiful or fragrant about a silk or faux flower. Silk or faux flowers have their place BUT they do not belong at a wedding.
In lieu of buying silk flowers consider purchasing fresh flowers, at a substancial savings, from some of the "web direct buy flower sites" or through club discount stores like Sam's Club or Costco or BJs.
You will never regret carrying a bouquet of real flowers down the aisle and you will always regret carrying a bouquet of silk flowers down the aisle.

I am not sure what I am going to do yet but wanted some input from other brides-to-be. I love the idea of having them for ever and getting to use different colors with the cost not going up.
What do you think about using fake flowers?
I am using "fake" Flowers! I have a friend who is a florist and she is doing them for me and I get to see what everything looks like ahead of time(so if there are Any changes or I don't like something it can be changed!
The one thing I have heard almost all brides complain about is there was something wrong with there flowers! Ribbon color, wrong flowers, they were closed and suppose to be open, the wasnt enough of them etc........you get the idea!
Plus I have seen almost all "real" flowers wilt that day, become brown around the edges, before the reception even starts those real petal on the table look horrible buy the time your done eating!
You cant even tell my flowers are fake! Plus for all those brides who use real flowers and have them "dryed" I have a little news for them it is expencive and a they use the same stuff that they use for kitty litter! It is just in a dust form! So really your spent big buck for kitty litter!
Best wishes and good luck in all your planing!
Reply:I used fake as did my sister. My sister then had her bouquet framed in a flat frame, and then the glass is blown out in the middle. It is gorgeous. It was less expensive, I had family and friends over one afternoon and we made them together, and I got to keep them just as gorgeous as our wedding day.

What is the cheapest way to buy real flowers for an outdoor wedding in July in Tennessee?
I mean CHEAP. Very tight budget. We can arrange them ourselves... my sister is GREAT at arranging flowers. Any ideas appreciated.
:)
What is the cheapest way to buy real flowers for an outdoor wedding in July in Tennessee?
talk with any friends or relatives that garden and ask if you can pick a few of their flowers before the big day ...
if no one around you has a green thumb, ask a florist around you if she would consider giving you a deal - usually florists charge anywheres from double to triple the cost of the flowers, so ask them if they would be willing to sell the flowers in bulk and at a little more than cost.(talking about a lot of flowers, not a little of this or a little of that) - but make sure they know they wouldn't have to do anything to the flowers, they dont have to worry about cutting or perserving the flowers; all they would have to do is get them in...that way they might be more apt to giving you the deal...
i worked for a florist, and although she would never advertise that she did this, she would if the bride would ask...
Reply:http://www.onlinewholesaleflowers.com had very nice flowers for cheap....
that or go to your local florist and tell him to pick something cheap- most florists go out daily to get great deals on flowers and can get you great deals if you arent picky on what you want.
Reply:Why don't you just grow the flowers yourself, if you start now your flowers should be blooming by then?
If I had to replan my wedding, I would also pick wild flowers to try and be conservation.
Where you are having that wedding, get the Mr groom to do some roto tiller and grow some flowers out there.
I heard of this one guy planting flowers for his outdoor wedding. Yard sale for flower pots or make wooden ones.
Get someone to teach you flower drying and making flower arrangements wouldn't that be nice.
You can make a visit to the green house.
Reply:If you have a Costco wholesale store near you AND you or someone you know is willing to prepare the arrangement the day before the wedding...then this is a very "cheap" way to go.
My wedding date was Feb. 8th - very close to Valentine's Day - ALL the florists wanted to charge me two arms and two legs because "its the busiest time of the year"....
My future husband's cousin dabbled in flower arranging - she made me bouquets, and flower items for everyone in the wedding party.
If you have a Costco - go inside and check out their fresh "bulk" flowers - they have A HUGE selection of all different colored roses and other flowers too - also, they sell in bulk on their website.
We spent $200 for all flowers and flower arrangements.
TIP - if you do them yourself - I was told to put them in the fridge overnight -BUT - you must take out all food that gives off natural gases - like fruits and veggies (i think veggies) - they will wilt the flowers.

Is there ANYWHERE I can buy (cheap) just a few flowers so I can arrange them myself?
I usually arrange about 15 medium vases and 5 large vases per week. I want the wholesale price, because I'll be a regular customer, without the huge quantity. I'm a one-lady charity service (I give the flowers away to sick %26amp; forgotten). I live in Dallas, though I'd love to order over the internet...I order my supplies that way...
Is there ANYWHERE I can buy (cheap) just a few flowers so I can arrange them myself?
You could speak with the florist near you and ask if you can piggy-back on his order. Once you explain what you are doing, I'm sure you can make arrangements.
I doubt there are any internet suppliers for small orders. See the searchlist below for your local wholesale dealers. Choose the one that is best for you.

I had the same prob for my wedding I was on a budget. So I went to look for a cheap florist....two days before the wedding he let me down. I ended up buying white and blue ballons, ribbon and wire. Tables alredy had white and blue (baby blue) as that was the theme for my wedding. A large heart shaped wire arch was made covered in ballons (4 blue, 4 white, 4 blue etc...) then ballons around the hall with ribbons. At first I thought it would look tacky but if its done right it can look beautiful and the best part it didnt cost much :) I did have centerpieces and these were blue floating candles (lit) in a shallow bowl and white candles (with the water dyed blue) I hope this helps or gives you an idea :)
Reply:Have you ever considered doing them yourself? It is really easy to do and since you say you are doing simple arrangements and not having a lot of flowers this would be inexpensive and things would be done the way you really want them! It's not hard to do, the only thing is time. You didn't say when your wedding was so that would be a factor so that you do not over stress yourself! Been there done that one! If you have time though this might be something you would want to consider.
Congratulations on your upcoming marriage! God Bless!
