If anyone is looking for a cheaper alternative to a local florist, I would highly recommend
Bunchesdirect.com. I did not want to spend an exorbitant amount on flowers, so I started searching for alternatives. Bunchesdirect has a great selection of pre-designed bouquets and offers customized bouquets. I ordered
Daisy Day bouquets for my Friday evening wedding and I was able to break down the bouquets and reuse them in our centerpieces for the following day reception. The flowers were shipped overnight from Florida and arrived mid-day Thursday in Michigan. They were in perfect condition and lasted beautifully the entire weekend. My mother-in-laws friend was willing to make similar bouquets for me and my girls for around $60 each. My total bill 1 bridal bouquet, 4 bridesmaids bouquets and 3 corsages was $206. I qualified for free shipping and a 10% discount for a grand total of $185. I highly recommend this company, their product and their customer service. Below are three pictures: bouquets resting in water the morning of the wedding, the flowers in action and the flowers used in the centerpieces.
