Wholesale flowers?

We'll be doing our own floral arrangements, and I need a place to find the flowers (roses, but in November...) and other supplies on a very limited budget. I live in Gresham, the wedding is in Vancouver, and I'm willing to do a little traveling to find the right place and price. Any ideas?

    There are a number of reputable online flower vendors that you can get roses from year-round.  I've used the following many times:

    Fifty Flowers
    American Floral Distributors
    Whole Blossoms
    The Flower Exchange

    Keep in mind that you'll need to have appropriate storage for them (5 gallon buckets work well).  You'll want to schedule their arrival for the Tues or Wed before the wedding as they will need at least 24 hours to properly re-hydrate before you start working with them.  You'll also want to pick up floral food powder and a spray preservative (Crowning Glory is good) when you order your flowers.  

    Hope that helps!  Let me know if you have more questions :)
