We got ours from Costco. The flower purchaser there asked what colors we liked, then ordered several bouquets and let us pick the ones we wanted. It ended up being about $10/dozen roses. (25 years ago!) Highly recommend it!

I bought very high quality silk flowers for mine and my bridesmaids bouquets, it was perfect, NOONE knew they weren’t real and we all got to keep them forever. The girls were in a ball type shape so I got them beautiful vases to display at their home after if they wanted. Mine are in an acrylic clear box. 10 out of 10 recommend.

My daughter was a flower girl once and the bride selected silk bouquets. All day long my five year old complained about the "dead" flowers. I sort of agree with her. Weddings don't happen every day. Opt for "real" flowers.

@@maryoleary2037 sure but if your on a budget and want them to last forever it’s an amazing option. Some people aren’t okay with spending $500-2k on real flowers. The real flowers for the reception were enough money as it was. Didn’t have a $4000 budget for flowers. But hey if have thousands upon thousands for a wedding go for it.

@@brynn1995 But you missed the whole point of the short video. It was about how to save money on wedding flowers, by buying from a grocery store and arranging the flowers yourself. I got my flowers from Costco (they let me order in advance.). I used these flowers to make the bouquets, the boutonnières, and for the tables at the reception. I spent about $125...not the $4,000 you suggest. That said, I'm sure your silk flowers looked lovely.

The day of my friend's wedding, the florist was either late or MIA, but pictures were coming up, and none of the bouquets or boutonniers had been made. The florist had agreed to make them the day of the wedding (it was an evening wedding) from the flowers my friend had purchased wholesale the day before the wedding, but since the florist was nowhere to be seen and wasn't answering her phone, I whipped together my friend's bouquet and one of her bridal party bouquets. Thankfully, her girls were awesome, and a few of them put together the rest so I could make the bountonniers. Ladies, vet your vendors. My poor friend had a terrible florist and a terrible day of coordinator. Make sure you check for reviews that aren't from the source.

That sounds MUCH cuter. And it sounds like it was an actual finished bouquet. This looks like she did step one, got bored, gave up and just slapped a ribbon on it and called it quits. My mother makes most of the wedding bouquets in our family and has done for 70 years. They NEVER look this cheap and nasty. You did a wonderful job wrapping them all nicely and then adding all the extra little special details on to it. I bet she was absolutely THRILLED with all your hard work and felt like a real princess. ❤️🙏🤗 Well done you I hope you're so proud 🙏❤️

The florist didn't show up on time for my friend's wedding. It was an evening wedding and the florist had agreed to do the florals with flowers my friend bought wholesale. I don't know if she ever showed up, but I made my friend's bouquet, the sample bouquet for the bridal party to work off of, and all the boutonniers. Thankfully, I had friends in the past who were florists, and I helped out for a couple of weddings. No one knew they weren't professionally done. Honest to goodness, some vendors make me so angry. Some 18 or so years ago, another friend had a crappy photographer. They didn't stick around for the cake cutting or reception, and most of the photos were terrible. I had my point-and-shoot Nikon, and with the exception of the ceremony (I was the MOH), I took pictures of everything. I gave them copies of all my photos, and her husband said he wished they would have hired me and my Nikon. That's how bad their "professional" photos were.
