Has anyone looked into mail order flowers?
February 282010
So I have been looking online at flowers that can be shipped for your wedding. They are alot cheaper and can come pre assembled or do it yoourself.. HAs anyone looked into this?
I’ve used Grower’s Box on multiple occasions for weddings and parties. We’ve never been disappointed and from experience they even include a few extra stems in case one or two are damaged, which is really nice. You can order an entire Wedding in a Box and arrange them yourself with very little help. I do however recommend picking up a book on floral design that talks about using oasis and doing hand-tying. I also recommend trying things out with grocery-store bought flowers ahead of time so you get an idea of what’s in store and whether or not you can acheive the look you want. Also, if storing the flowers, make sure you have a cooler that is the proper size and temperature or your flowers will be ruined. It is not a difficult task and if you are creative it can be a lot of fun!
Good luck!

I used to work at a florist, and also have ordered mail-order flowers that come unarranged. While the latter is cheaper, you never know exactly what you will get until it arrives. If the flowers come slightly damaged, there’s no one to go to and demand a better product, like you could if you went to a florist. They may give you some money back, but that won’t save the look of your wedding flowers. I’d advise ordering them at least 5 days in advance, so if you need to go to a florist and get any replacements, you have the time.
Also, you need to know a little bit about processing and storing flowers to make these flowers wedding-ready.
