Hi. I’m hoping to hear from some florists or anyone who has had experience in receiving flowers very early for an event. We are ordering my daughters wedding flowers from Sam’s. Because she is getting married over a holiday week, it’s not possible to have the flowers and greenery delivered 2-3 days before the event as is suggested. She is getting married on a Thursday, and our only options are the Friday before or the day before the ceremony. I can’t imagine risking the day before delivery as what would we do with no flowers? However, I am so worried that they won’t stay alive for 6 days.
Has anyone had any experience with flowers and also greenery being kept fresh that long? She is getting married in January, so the temperature should be cool, and we have a dark cold garage that we can store them in.
Thank you for any and all advice.
Re: Wedding flowers 6 days before wedding
I'd instead opt to keep the budget the same, give the bouq/corsage/bout list to a local florist/grocery florist, and let them run with the colors your daughter is using. There's a time and a place to use the big box for event flowers, just the way the calendar works out this year probably isn't it.
