HELP! Need some major flower advice!

mjohnson9385

ok so here's the deal. The circumstances for our wedding:
(1)very tight budget
(2) very non traditional ----no roses
(3)Beach wedding in South Carolina
(4)Its a Spring wedding too!
(5) Timing?

Ok so we want to just order the flowers in bulk from Sams Club (they have the best deals of what I can find), but Im afraid that they will be delivered and not bloom, or all bad. But we dont want to have to hire a florists, because unfortunately in the Myrtle Beach area they are super expensive. I have very artsy sisters and friends that I know would be more than happy to set up the flowers. The problem is which flower, which colors? My bridesmaids are wearing this dress (http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%253A%252F%252Fwww2.davidsbridal.com%252Fdyw%252Fdetails_public.jsp%253Fw%253DCNBGBHCAAA%2526v%253DAFJAIIFAAG&h=4db73&ref=nf) in these colors, plus a junior bridesmaid in saffron/yellow. They are sangria, watermelon, guava, tangerine, and yellow. In that order, we are very laid back colorful people! We want tropical looking, but with a great price. Should we do all those colors and white? Or just white and some of those colors here and there? Any advice would help!

I looked at their site. Not sure what you are considering putting in your budget for flowers, but this looks nice and would match the colors you mentioned.

It's a 15 stem 8 pack, and you could use them for centerpieces as well.

Their all white packages are nice as well.

These bunches are tropical and the colors would appear to match your colors:

I would probably also order a bulk order of white roses and add them in with the above if you want to add a "bridal" look to your wedding.

Good luck. Colorful is good.

I did Calla Lilies for my wedding and they were beautiful, elegant, and simple! I just ordered a couple of bunches from my local grocery store and they came in still closed up. But a day or so out in the open in water and they opened right up. Just a thought!

I was thinking do it yourself calla lilies as well from Costco. Klpena, do you have pics? How did you use your callas?
