Hello ladies! I was searching our wedding "area" for a florist, but I can't help but think there is a cheaper alternative. I'm going for a wildflowers look --- not large centerpiece bouquets packed tightly with flowers-- more of a casual style. I thought it may be beneficial to put the arrangements together myself and just purchase the flowers I need at a wholesale place. I was wondering how you ladies decided on either using a florist or going to a wholesale location? If you went with a florist, how did you keep your costs down? If you went with a wholesale location, which company did you pick? My only worry is that my flowers will wilt if we purchase them too early.
