    I looked at a few sites for roses, apparently, freedom red roses are very popular for weddings and events, but I see that Sam's Club have a great deal for the Classy red roses. I've called some florist but only one can tell me that there is no noticeable differences between those two, the rest of them don't carry Classy red roses so they don't know. Any experts that can attest?? My friend the florist wants me to be safe and order freedom, but if they are the same, why should I pay the big bucks?? Any thoughts??

    Why is it so important that they are the same? If they looks similar enough, I think it will be just fine!

    Did the flowers at Sam's Club have any reviews? If they are positive, I wouldn't worry about it and just go with them. Much cheaper, I'm sure :)

    They are cheaper because they aren't as fragrant.  Freedom roses have a lovely sweet smell, but Classy roses have a much less noticable fragrance.  Frankly, I think that would be better for a wedding, so that the flowers don't overpower the food.  But it's up to you!

    @gocubbies: just because I want to make sure that the flower heads are big enough and look good for the wedding.

     

    @mightysapphire: thank you, that is exactly the info that I need. I will go with the Classy then. =)
