Are you someone who is the “do it yourself” type? If so, you may want to know that wholesale floral suppliers can provide you with wedding flowers of almost any kind, and even in special collections made just for people who are handling their wedding day independently.
These are not just “filler flowers” and greens meant to meet the needs for a bouquet, but make no real statement. Instead, they are assortments that include such exotics as calla lilies, orchids, hydrangeas, roses and more. These can be used to build massive single bridal bouquets, or to outfit the entire wedding party.
Can wedding flowers for the ceremony and reception areas be purchased through wholesale suppliers too? Actually, a large number of modern couples have chosen this route. They do so for several reasons, including the fact that they can have many more blooms if they eliminate the floral designer and setup crew costs. They can also have complete control over the finished results this way too. There are thousands of wedding day horror stories about flowers coming in the wrong varieties and colors, or of never showing up at all!
Another reason to consider handling wedding flowers independently is the scheduling too. Rather than sweating out the appearance of the florist on the wedding day, someone who orders their blooms through a floral wholesaler will receive them from two to three days ahead of time. They will have already received a consultation from their supplier on the ways to handle and care for the flowers, and will be able to take a few hours to make all of the arrangements and centerpieces in advance of the big day.
Because modern weddings cost a great deal of money, and because flowers can absorb more than ten percent of the budget, it is a good idea to consider if handling your own wedding flowers is the right thing for you.
