grocery store flowers

I am going with costco what they have the few days before my wedding lol. They sell 24 roses for $15. The quality is amazing and usually a great selection.

I'm planning on going with whole foods, or a store nearby that has Thursday deliveries (or Friday morning) so I can pick them up Friday night before the wedding

I think people underestimate market flowers. But the are grocery chains whose floral dept is a member of FTD or Teleflora, and have wonderful designers for a lot less than a traditional florist

Yes, people def underestimate how talented some of these grocery store florists are and the quality of the flowers. I just bought my little girl a bouquet of roses for her ballet recital and the roses are HUGE and opening up quite beautifully. If you wanna cut some costs, this is a great alt.

I'm using Wegman's. There's no DIY involved and they deliver. That being said, I probably only saved a few hundred dollars.

I bought mine at a grocery store and put them together myself. Very pleased and saved a ton of money!

Keep in mind also that if you go with silk arrangements you can go to Michaels. When you buy all or the majority of your flowers there the designers will make all your arrangements for you for free. Can't be free labor. Labor charges alone jack up the cost of florals.

I use to be a florist in a local grocery store and I can tell you the training we go through is extensive and continuous.

I haven't bought my flowers yet, seeing as my wedding date is still a yr and about 4-5 months away. But I've also heard grocery store flowers work out very well not just in cost, but freshness, and wide variety as well. This is what I plan to use as my date nears.

I'm debating ordering them online from Costco. They've got some pretty selections!

Trader joes also has a great selection at great prices!

I am going to Sam's club.125 pink and white roses for $85.

My cousin did this years ago and her flowers were GORGEOUS! Her floral package was quoted by local florist at over 4K and she got everything she wanted for under $600 at the grocery florist. I am all for same product, better price = brilliant

Yep! That's what I'm doing. I am only having flowers in our bouquets, no decorations. But we are doing that to save money and they look just as good.

I've heard a lot of really good things about Sam's Club.

I'm getting baby's breath from Costco for a very reasonable price!

Our wedding is in May, peak wildflower season in Texas. I plan on getting Baby's Breath from a grocery store and then picking a couple bright wildflowers the night before/morning of to add to the bouquet. Depending on the quality and quantity of wildflowers, I may add them to the bridesmaids bouquets or they will just be babysbreath. The price for a florist is simply outrageous. I'm not doing large floral centerpieces, instead I'm doing small milk vases with babysbreath and wildflowers and an assortment of vintage and vintage-inspired picture frames with wedding photos of our family members.

A lot of people do grocery store or Costco flowers! Not a damn thing wrong with it. I'm going one step lower; wildflowers picked from the side of a road by a family member!

In hindsight, I would have! I would have went with Sam's Club or Harris Teeter (local grocery store).
