Wholesale flowers?

Laurell12

I am doing my own centerpieces and need a couple dozen orange roses to do them. Any suggestions on where to head for these? I live in the Exeter area.

I know a couple of people that used BJs or Sams Club and their flowers were beautiful!

I did flowers for a wedding and we ordered from Grower's Box.  It was the best deal I could find for that many roses.  I then bought filler and such in a smalller quantity from a florist.  I was pretty happy with how it turned out.
I also did flowers for another wedding where we bought the flowers from Sam's Club.  That worked ok because we were left to the mercy of what was in stock.  Some places will order them for you, others won't, but it's worth a shot.
FWIW, I tried to order from a wholesale place, but they won't let you unless you're a licensed florist.  HTH!

Have you considered ordering them online? 

I have not used this service, but see it advertised frequently in Bridal magazines.  One of the brides on the 'flowers' board said she used this service to order her flowers, and was very pleased with them.

I am using Allioops! flowers out of New London.  I also wanted to just do the centerpieces myself and she is charging $1/stem for tulips, not sure what the rose prices are like but she seemed open to just doing what I need and not pushing me into anything extra
