Floral Help

Annalise, on September 27, 2024 at 8:21 AM Posted in Style and Décor 1 10

After receiving floral quotes, I will be doing my own. I am having bouquets professionally done but everything else I will handle. I am doing mostly greenery with hearty white flowers in low bowls with wiring or oasis. I am going for a romantic, relaxed/natural vibe. How far ahead of time can I make these if I have cool places to put them and able to water? I am hoping to put everything together Wednesday for a Saturday wedding.

    You could probably make them the day/night before. It sounds like you've done your homework! Flower moxie on YouTube is a great resource if you want to watch tutorials and get ideas of what to buy

    I wouldn't do them anymore than two days ahead of time. I would recommend if you are using a florist for your bouquets that they don't have in their contract that you can't make your own flowers for other parts of your wedding. A lot of times this is a clause in a contract because they don't want your work (unprofessional) being considered with their work (professional).

    Ya, I’m not signing a contract for bouquets. Their clauses a moot regardless, they don’t stand up in any civil court (in CA) for anyone worried.

    Is this from experience or just what you are thinking? I guess I’ll have to make a mock up to see what they do. The price for what you get is really insane.

    It's a really popular place to buy flowers in bulk online, and they have a lot of great resources, including a pros and cons list for each flower (so you know what needs a lot of water etc) and spreadsheets that tell you how many to buy based on what you want to make. They even tell you what size buckets to get based on what flowers you get! Fifty flowers and local flower farms are also good ideas for flower sourcing.

    I love this! So i have access to the flower marts in Los Angeles and flowers at wholesale. Where are these spreadsheets? That would be super helpful.
