I am thinking about ordering my flowers at sams club but I can only find pictures from the website, not actual brides with their arrangements. If anyone have bought mail order flowers, can you post a pic? thanks ladies!

    I got mine from Costco. Check your local Sam's club and ask at their customer service desk if they have a local florist that puts together the flowers for the kiosk in their store. Our Costco did, and I got her phone number. I called her 3 weeks before the wedding and arranged for 70 stems of white Asiatic lillies, 7 dozen white vendella roses, and 2 very large bunches of baby's breath. This was all $177. I thought I had some sort of "secret source" then when I picked them up she told me she does this for about 15-18 weddings a week! I picked them up 3 days before the wedding.

    I suppose you can order online as well, but I felt better picking them up at the store, they were in large black buckets, and I could see what I was getting. This was enough for 10 centerpieces. I alternated the centerpieces on the tables.

    White asiatic lillies with greens (came with the flowers) and baby's breath in tall glass cylinder


    White rose and baby's breath in silver swirl bowls I bought on sale from a florist going out of business for $5 each.


    I used clear "jelly balls" in the tall cylinder, these are miniature balls that fill with water over time, and hold the flowers in place. The best price I found for them was at www.lacrafts.com. Each bag filled the cylinder about 1/2 way up and was $2.50.

    I used green floral foam in the rose centerpieces, held to the silver bowl with floral tape.

    I kept them in the basement in the buckets they came in, added the floral food when we got home, and they opened up perfectly. I arranged them the day before the wedding, and delivered them to the location when we went there for our rehearsal.

    I also ordered the 20 piece white rose package from them for $399 for our bouquets, bouts, corsages, etc. I know Sam's has a similar thing. I didn't want to be burdened with assembling bouquets etc as well.
