Are there any brides who purchased supermarket flowers as their bouquet?

I would check out Costco & Sam's Club too, they both do wedding flowers & deliver!

View Quoted Comment I was just about to say this. Costco literally has everything. Did you know they have WEDDING STATIONARY?!

I’m having my bouquet made by a florist and my bridesmaid will come from the grocery store.
Ahe wanted to charge $50 to tie 3 hydrangeas together. The grocery store sells them for $5 a stem. I can’t stomach paying that much more. But there is absolutely no way I would attempt my own. I tried to make a sample one for me and it was hard to do and ugly. So the money is worth it to me. But I bought all the flowers to make my samolemon for less than $40 so huge savings!

I’m getting mine from the farmer across the street. His wife makes beautiful small bouquets throughout the summer 😍

I had a coworker buy bouquets from the farmers market and they were GORGEOUS!

I was JUST thinking about this myself. All the pieces I need can be found at my local Costco. It's going to be a last minute call for me lol

I did that for my first marriage and they were very nice from Kroger. Sorry no pictures.

Costco is too expensive for my liking.

i'm not fussed with any type of flowers x

I had a very low-key, backyard wedding and used grocery store flowers. I ordered my bouquet a few weeks in advance. I think it cost around $80, but I could have gotten one MUCH cheaper if I hadn't wanted calla lilies (by far the most expensive part of the bouquet). I generally liked my bouquet, but I'm not super picky and basically told the flower lady at the grocery store that I wanted pink roses, white calla lilies, "greenery" filler, and the total number of blooms. I left the rest up to her.

The day before my wedding, I went to pick up the bouquet and also picked up several bunches of hydrangeas in my colors, and baby's breath. Because I didn't have a big wedding, I didn't need to get that many and it was pretty easy to arrange them myself (3-4 hydrangeas in each vase with baby's breath). I know I saved a lot of money this way, and would recommend grocery store flowers if you're on a budget, but I do think there's a quality difference between buying from a florist whose reputation is on the line, and buying from a grocery store.

This is how I feel about bouts and corsages. I am not talented enough to do my own bouquets but people charge $15-20 PER bout?? I'm like huh? I want one fricken dahlia for the bouts and a greenery/twig/berry accent. I can get them at wegmans in bunches. One bunch has 5 for about $14. So that's 5 bouts for the price of one. It's insane. My problem is finding a florist now who doesn't care I DIY my own stuff and to stick to my budget for all my other pieces. ughhhh
