When did you place your orders?

I have the wonderful church guild taking care of all the ceremony flowers and bouquets, and we're doing the majority of the reception ourselves. Most of it is going to be candles and pumpkins, but I wanted to do some small arrangements on the tables and ordering online seemed to be the easiest option so I know I'll have things in my colors. 

So, when should I place that order? Also, did anyone have their flowers delivered Thursday or Friday and still have them be fine for Saturday?

I placed my order through Costco.com. They require the order be in 30 days beforehand. When ordering from any site (I believe), it's recommended the order be delivered on the Wed or Thurs before the wedding, as the flowers are generally in a bud state. They will send floral food, you will need to give the flower stems a new cut of about an inch, and put them in water. Our wedding was last August and we put the flowers in the buckets in the basement because our a/c is there and the coolest place in the house. They were lovely.

We ordered flowers from Sam's Club for both my daughter's and son's weddings.  We had bulk bouquets for one and bulk baby's breath for the other.  The flowers arrived on Thursday and we made the bouquets on Thursday night.  Everything looked beautiful for the weddings which were on Saturdays.  I put the flowers in a cooler with water in it until we were ready to arrange them....After they were arranged I put them in pitchers and glasses

 until we needed them.  We waited until the morning of the wedding to wrap the bouquets with ribbon so it didn't get wet.
