Need a very affordable florist

Hello everyone,
Flowers are not something that I honestly care about at all.  I literally just need 8 bouquets, 8 boutineers, two corsages, and the gladiola stems that my mother is going to use to put the centerpieces together.  I could care less about what type of flower honestly, I just want something that looks pretty.  I have looked into using Jewel and I might go with them, but does anyone else have any recommendations of budget flowers?

Thanks!!!

  • What about Costco or Sam's Club. There's another Knottie here who went that route.
  • I believe Crate and Barrel also has a floral dept.  You can also work with Trader Joe's

  • Our friends went with Whole Foods
  • I recommend either Flowers by Victoria or Bella Flora. I believe neither have a minimum amount for weddings. They both work out of their homes so there's little overhead. If you let them know your budget, they will do their best to work with it. If you don't need specific flowers, you can ask them to use seasonal flowers that are budget-friendly.

    This is one of the ones on my list since she lives by us......are you doing centerpieces? What type of flowers?
  • What is your budget? A lot of knotties have always said Kehoe Kreations is reasonable. Good luck!
  • We are using Mary from Flowers by Color Chicago
